The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

PostPosted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:01 pm

OK folks, the following have expressed an interest in participating in the AE as a MARINE, if there are any names missing, let me know.

Jon Reason
Sean George
Geordi
Steve Greenway
Tony RB
Darren Friendly Skies
Rich Skapunkninja
Scapey
Clanger68
DATA
Ttaskmaster
Boltrig



Now, first off, I need to know which role in the AE you intend to play.

Secondly, I need to know WHEN you are turning up at the NSC (day and ETA) We have access to the Challenger Suite from early Friday morning.

Thirdy- all marines participating, you need to have a torch of some sort fitted to your pulse rifle. A taclight or similar, small, descreet and with a good intense narrow beam. This is essential for the smoke filled corridor and room.

Any questions? :D

I won't be available as a 'Marine' per se.

I can give you Marine in BDUs (ie no armour or weapon), Dropship Pilot (Spunkmeyer style, with baseball cap) or something simpler like a planted member of the public (if you have such things).
Additionally, Claire could do one of the latter two. She screams rather well....

Due to work commitments, our ETA is around 8pm Friday evening.

Me, Claymore, Boltrig and Azriel are leaving Glasgow about 10am on Friday... ETA 5ish I think?
I'm sure Boltie and Azriel would be up for stepping in as well if they can be of use. Kat's certainly good at shouting at people - We have two kids after all... :)

This will be a good test of the eye sight on my helmet.

I got to fix my armour this week and make the headband inside the helmet alot softer.

Rich so shoulder lamps take a beating than.

The other reason for the torches on PRs is because the script calls on the Marines to aim the light to bring certain things to the audience's attention in the dark.

Shoulder lamps are fine, but between the cramped conditions of the airlock (remember to duck ...) and the wandering fingerlongers of attacking Aliens, loads got broken in previous AEs.

I can do any of the Marine stuff that is needed.
(or lab tech's if we are short)

I could do 'Sarge' at a push but would rather not!

Don't want to let you guys down by fluffing my lines! :)

I'll be happy to play the part of Sarge again. I won't be there till quite late on the Friday but I think I'll be fine with one or two quick run throughs either Fri night if I make it in time or on the Saturday morning.

Cheers

Darren

OK folks, its looking like we are adequately provisioned for marines, thank you.

Here are the suggested times for the AE:

12:00 Alien Encounter (1) CLC
12:30 Alien Encounter (1) CLC
13:00 Alien Encounter (1) CLC
13:30 Alien Encounter (1) CLC
14:00 Alien Encounter (2) CLC
14:30 Alien Encounter (2) CLC
15:00 Alien Encounter (2) CLC
15:30 Alien Encounter (2) CLC

So each team will do four shows each day starting at lunchtime and ending in time to take part in the final walk down.

This will give us some time Saturday morning as well as Friday for run throughs.

We might need a volunteer for a bit of backstage button pushing for a couple of the sessions.
