Battlestar Galactica
07.03.2007 at 20:27:51

Didn't know where to post this so I thought this might be a good place.

The new Battlestar Galactica tv show on the SciFi channel is running a sort of contest where you can put together a 4 minute video using BG supplied video/sounds/effects. I plan on entering a video but also using the content in a future mansion. I know space based MM aren't very popular but good content is both hard to generate and hard to find and this is a chance at some VERY cool stuff. Here's the link:

My eldest brother watches it like crazy. I don't watch it because of the title, it sounds kinda dull. StarGate, that sounds cool, so I watched that! Can't wait till the next Atlantis episode comes out! Or the SG-1 movies they're making to finish off the SG-1 TV series!

This season has been more people centric not as exciting but I'm definitely with you on Stargate Atlantis. Just picked up the season 2 DVD set. I have the first season as well as the pilot on DVD too.
Did you see the original Stargate from 1994 with Kurt Russell and James Spader?

Being a Frank Herbert fan I also like Dune and Children of Dune. Waiting to see if they do God Emperor Dune. The book was so-so but I think it would make a pretty good movie considering CG could make a pretty good combination human/sandworm. We'll see.

But with the content they've made available I can see a Battlestar mansion in the future with cylones, etc. I just got a really cool new robot mesh that looks like a skinny cylon.

But first there's Search for Jack which I've completed the structure for. I wanted to be a little more logical so I laid it out in an Excel speadsheet. I think I might do it as a contest entry but 80 rooms has kind of limited what I wanted to do with it. I may be forced to do a "Directors cut" version with 150 or so rooms.

later dude,

Joe B

Yup, seen McGyver.

FYI I used to do a lot of DV work and got into laserdisc so I have about 400 movies on laser. They stopped making the good stuff on laser or it was more expensive so I've been doing DVD and have a couple of hundred of those too. I LOVE movies!!

ps don't know if you saw I released a quick and dirty version of Helter Skullter. It's in the Free Uploading section.

Oh the 80s......

Whenever he gets in a fix He reaches into his Bag of Tricks.... Wow, really showing my age here.... Joe B
