Ben 10: Alien Swarm – Behind the Scenes VFX, Pre-Vis

Kogitsune — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:28:09 +0000

While not necessarily Ryan news, it has been a while since the last update and I thought I’d give everyone something interesting to look at. These kinda came in under the radar until Nathan Keyes pointed them out on his Twitter. So credit goes to him for bringing them to my and everyone else’s attention. Enjoy!

Alien Swarm Giveaway!

Kogitsune — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:59:20 +0000

‘Tis the season for giving and I’m in the spirit. To celebrate the holidays that fall in the month of December, and the recent release of Ben 10: Alien Swarm on DVD and Blu-ray, I’ve decided to hold another drawing. Ryan Kelley Online is giving away three copies of the Cartoon Network original movie on DVD. Keep reading to find out see how you can win!

All you need to do to enter this contest is to sign up for an account right here on http://ryankelleyonline.com and reply to this blog post with any number between 1-200. That’s it! I’ll take entries between now and Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009 at 5pm Pacific (GMT -8) when this thing comes to an end.

I will then use a random number generator, like the handy one at http://www.random.org/ to select the winners. Those people will receive an email from me at the address they used to sign up for their RKOnline account. This is important: Sign up with an email address that you have access to and intend to check! If I can’t get a hold of you, I’m picking another number.

Now, no contest is complete without some rules, so here they are:

1) Choose only one (1) number. And after a number is chosen nobody else can pick it. The number goes to the first person to post it based on timestamps.

2) Don’t sign up for multiple accounts. I’ll know, and nobody likes a cheater.

3) This time the contest is open to US and Canadian residents only. My apologies to our overseas friends. These DVDs are region one, and this contest (and subsequent shipping) are out of pocket expenses paid by yours truly.

4) If you do win, what you’ll receive is an unopened, still in the plastic copy of Ben 10: Alien Swarm on DVD (region one). That’s one disc, the movie with There For Tomorrow’s – “A Little Faster” music video, a behind the scenes featurette, and nothing else.

Weathering the "Swarm"

Kogitsune — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:51:45 +0000

I hope all of the US fans tuned in to and enjoyed the Cartoon Network premier of Ben 10: Alien Swarm. In my effort to cover pretty much anything and everything Ryan, I’ve added a bundle of caps from the film to the gallery as usual. Those of you viewing this entry from our Facebook page will find the pictures here.

It should go without saying that these pictures are heavy in spoilers for those of you overseas who have not seen it yet. The movie was well worth the wait, and I’m sure you guys will enjoy it just as much. For everyone in the US that missed it, catch reairings tonight and Sunday night at 8pm e/p on Cartoon Network.

Finally, don’t forget the DVD and Blu-ray release on December 1st, which includes special features like the music video.

Tick Tock…

The wait is almost over! Only one day left until the US premier of Ben 10: Alien Swarm on Cartoon Network. The film has already generated quite a buzz for a made for TV movie, with both premiers in London and LA, and a fair amount of media coverage. The folks over at The Flickcast have posted interviews with Ryan and the rest of the cast that took place at Comic Con earlier in the year, and promise that there’s more to come.

Here’s a look:

Also, more pictures have made it into the Alien Swarm album in the gallery, including a full-size cast shot.

Yes, It’s Real

I think the picture says it all. Oh, and don’t forget to watch Ben 10: Alien Swarm on Wednesday in the US, or Saturday if you’re on the other side of the Atlantic.

The Countdown is On!

Kogitsune — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:16:45 +0000

The US premier of Ben 10: Alien Swarm is only eight days away! Cartoon Network is kicking their promoting of the film into high gear. With the London premier a few days behind us (more pictures available over on Facebook.), and the LA premier coming up soon, it’s no surprise that more of the movie has been made available.

Below the cut is a 9 minute sneak peek!

Moving Right Along…

Kogitsune — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:40:54 +0000

The cast of Ben 10: Alien Swarm will be taking on a team from Cartoon Network’s Dude, What Would Happen on next Wednesday’s Destroy Build Destroy. In the meantime, keep up with Ryan, Galadriel, Nathan, and Alyssa who are in the middle of their trip to London via Ben 10′s Facebook page and Cartoon Network’s Twitter feed.

Pictures from the trip will be added to the Ben 10: Alien Swarm album as they become available.

Alien Swarm Sneak Peeks

Kogitsune — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:58:38 +0000

Have a pair of videos for you guys. A full 5+ min. look at Ben 10: Alien Swarm. The first preview aired last week, and I’ll embed the YouTube video of such. Skip to 0:37. The second one is new tonight, shorter, but better quality since I’m hosting it directly.

Now, I shouldn’t have to remind anyone of this, but if you’re the type that likes to wait for a movie, don’t watch these sneak peeks. They don’t give much away, but if you do, you’ve only got yourself to blame for whatever is spoiled.
