Idea & Info: a Preservation of Alien Evolution doco?
Time

Giger’s Alien – has anyone seen 8t88’s version yet? PAL or NTSC? Does it offer an improvement over the current versions? If not, I don’t think it’s realistic to hope for a better copy to come along any time soon… the existing transfers, for all their faults, are at least complete and watchable.

I have offered my version to Triffid, but he's not responding how he want's to receive it...... (OEPS i didn't check my PM he did contact me!)



Making of Alien 3 (UK) – Unless someone wants to go to the extra effort to obtain/transfer this, I think the archives version is ok. Sadly I no longer have my Facehugger tapes, otherwise I would have just gone ahead and done this myself…


Is this the version found in the Facehugger-collectors set? If so i have it in MINT condition also....

Let me know ASAP how to get my copy's to your group of people who are gonna make this archive set!

With kind regards,

Marco

Triffid,

The 'original' VHS is created by Giger himself and released in a limited quantity of 500 pieces, therefor
it will not appear in any shop and it has no label on it of the major company's. The quality of the video is
quit good, but you can see that's it been made more then 25 years ago on not so good equipment.
So you will see some scratch's and image noise. As proof i included a scan of the original box.



I hope you have enough info for now....

With kind regards,

Marco

PS : i'm quit busy on the moment, but i'm considering a preview mpg and torrent this any intrests?

Giger’s Alien (from Necronomicon/GA eBay DVD or from LD if we find any; the version from Meedermow’s Archives is probably worse, right?)


Hello there, i have a first gen. VHS copy of the original Giger VHS on DVD. If needed i can send you a copy, so that you can review it's quality and maybe use it for this compilation? Let me know if my offer is any intresting, i will check my other Giger VHS if there's some more Alien stuff on it.....

With kind regards,

Marco
