Hi everyone, I'm a Youtube content creator. A few months ago Fox Studios was bringing the Alien Covenant David's Lab set to our location for us to shoot. I pitched all three of my ideas and Fox Studios loved them and wanted to shoot one of my pitches. 

However I had to shoot it in 5 days. So within those five days I had to expand on the pitch, develop a story that stays true to the Alien franchise, cast and crew it and shoot it in less than 8 hours.

This video is something I came up with.  Of course if I had more time I would have done more.  I will be posting two other comedic Alien Covenant videos to my channel and here. 

Prologue: the crew of the Harbinger a mercenary ship has intercepted a distress transmission from the remote planet of Origae-6.

 

 

The signal came from a young woman named Eve. Eve has offered a reward to the crew of the Harbinger to gather any information about the mysterious disappearance of the crew of the Covenant.

I'm considering expanding it for a stronger lead in and getting to know the characters and a climax battle ending back in the ship. Let me know what you think. Just remember this was all shot in less then 8 hours and written in less than 5 days. :)

I cannot access the page! Google says it may have been suspended. Copyright issues, I assume.

*EDIT* All links take me to my own YouTube channel. My primary Google Account has been expelled from YouTube (haha copyright issues, ironically. I just wanted to post music!), but I logged into a different account and was taken to my channel's homepage

Not a map, an invitation

Thanks Iraptus and Ingeniero. Yes that was the actual David's Lab or at least most 80 percent of it.  I'd like to make a longer short film. Im just not sure if Fox will allow it.  But I'm going to try and take the necessary steps for it.  

 

I also have to comedic films awaiting approval that I'll release on my channel.   Same location at Davids Lab

FantacularTV_1 you are no lesser director/writer than Cameron or Blomkamp. Fox have to see your short in case they have some doubts about Ridley Scott.

Thanks DK, 

Jones, it was great, stressful writing a 10 page script casting it and crewing out within 5 days and then trying to shoot it all in less than 8 hours.  

daliens-Thank you for the compliment. They have my short along with a few others who shot there. Everyone else did some comedy skits (which I also did as well, releasing in a few days) or reviews or reanactments.

My project was an original and cinematic one.  From what I read on Internet rumors is the studio possibly wants to reboot the prequels.  I'm trying to develop a different story that is an extension of the Alien franchise stories. Maybe a web series with Fox Studios and Youtube Red. Obviously with a bigger budget and bigger cast.

FantacularTV_1 We have had discussions about off shoots as mini series, Netflix shows etc. That would be great if it could happen.

DK-The Alien franchise is such a great franchise. Its one of the few pre-sold franchises, meaning it doesn't have to do too much marketing. Its a build a huge fanbase on its own. Many more stories can be build around it.  Hopefully. In the meaning I'm considering to try to expanding it with a Lead in and a final battle in the next few months.
