Led by director Chris Boyle and the creative minds at Private Island, the “Be More Alien” campaign takes casual gamers on an unforgettable journey through classic gaming genre settings. From the adrenaline-fueled battles of space marines to the mystical realms of fantasy creatures and the gritty cyberpunk landscapes of stealthy looting, each film in the campaign transports viewers to a different world filled with adventure, humor, and craft.
The project, which took a total of 10 months to bring to fruition, began with collaboration between Private Island and the ad agency Dell Blue. Together, they shaped the creative direction of the campaign, developing and refining multiple scripts to ensure that each film captured the essence of the Alienware brand.

From hand-crafted set builds to state-of-the-art visual effects, every aspect of the production was meticulously planned and executed to create an immersive and captivating experience for viewers.
Originally conceived as 15-second spots for airing, the success of the campaign led Dell Blue to extend two of the three films into 30-second spots, showcasing the immense potential of the creative work.
Filmed over six days in Ljubljana, the production of “Be More Alien” was a massive undertaking, with the team working tirelessly to capture as much of the action as possible in-camera. From elaborate set pieces to intricate costume designs, no detail was overlooked in bringing director Chris Boyle’s vision to life.

In post-production, the team at Private Island worked tirelessly to enhance the visuals and bring the worlds of “Be More Alien” to even greater heights of immersion and excitement. The result? Three genre-bending films that push the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming advertising.
Published in the United States in March 2024, the “Be More Alien” campaign is a testament to the power of creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
