Re: Bsg: Tos se
That clip was great, I am really digging this! I have 2 sets of TOS and will get this one too. Thank you for the post and heads up.

I'd prefer to see the original effects with new writing.

Re: Bsg: Tos se
^ Thanks. In the interests of full disclosure: I'm not sure that the trailer should have made it online. It sure as hell shouldn't have when I was working on it and shortly after. I'm waiting to hear what the deal is from the lead. I expect the project (which actually hasn't been hinted at) may be being suggested once again. It's got merit.
Those of us on it, the lead and myself in particular, know the series, production quirks (ahem) which led to what needs to be resolved even 35 years on, assets etc in and out/back and forth (we were on a budget in terms of time alas- this was full nights and weekends, no finances involved, so sharp eyes will notice the corners cut but I think we got the love where needed the most)...
And, I'd love a chance to get Viper 3.0 going and make its debut to the world (what is in the trailer is 1.0- look left <<<<<< and its proxy in most of the shots- I build damn good proxies) Additionally, have updated the launch tube, got the Gs guns going, lots of bits ready to roll, just need to be given the word. ;-) There's sooo much I want to dig into for this as well.
But if nothing comes of it, hell, enjoy the clip while it's around.

Anyway, those are great models, and the execution of the shots are very nice. Dynamic without being over-the-top "because we can" showy. There was really only one shot I took exception to, where there was an unmotivated bi-axis camera move on a simple cutaway to a Viper cockpit display panel. Minor thing. Would've been an interesting project.
That said, there is nothing wrong with the original effects, other than the fact that they had to rely on stock shots a lot.
