[Center][IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/10mrhx0.jpg[/IMG][/Center] I am so excited about this project. These are the guys who worked on Aliens, Alien 3 and all the other Alien franchise movies that came after. They also worked on The Thing reboot, Tremors, and Starship Troopers. "What is Harbinger Down? In the spirit of sci-fi/horror classics, Alien and The Thing, Harbinger Down is a tense, claustrophobic full-length creature film that will feature only practical Animatronic and Makeup Effects. If you're a fan of the art of Animatronics and Makeup FX, you know that this technique is overlooked by the big studios. I'm hoping that you will help us change that by supporting this labor of love. I will write and direct and ADI co-founder Tom Woodruff, Jr. will produce. Our company, Amalgamated Dynamics, will create the kind of Oscar caliber Creature Effects for which we are known. The Story A group of grad students have booked passage on the fishing trawler Harbinger to study the effects of global warming on a pod of Orcas in the Bering Sea. When the ship's crew dredges up a recently thawed piece of old Soviet space wreckage, things get downright deadly. It seems that the Russians experimented with tardigrades, tiny resilient animals able to withstand the extremes of space radiation. The creatures survived, but not without mutation. Now the crew is exposed to aggressively mutating organisms. And after being locked in ice for 3 decades, the creatures aren't about to give up the warmth of human companionship."

Gavin, I hear where you're coming from, but a lot of the time, they are working under the direction of other directors and have to give what they're asked for. HD is a product of them wanting to do things the way they were never allowed to. Also, yes they were working for Stan Winston at the time of Aliens, but they have many other effects artist from Aliens returning to help them with Harbinger Down. They include Pat McClung, Dennis, and Robert Skotak. Stan Winston's son is also helping them promote.
