Battlestar Galactica (original) fan edits (Released)

I've watched them both, and overall they were quite good. But I have an issue with cropping them into 16:9

In particular because your title sequence doesn't allow for TV overscan where you've placed the credits, they are very close to the edge of the image, so they are only partly visable when watching on a 16:9 set. A shame because I felt it tainted what was otherwise an excellent job. I wondered if perhaps you'd croped these after you'd completed them as an afterthought.

The CGI was quite good as well. Judgment Day is a huge improvement on the original Return Of Starbuck episode. I definitely look forward to more of your edits of BSG. I would prefer them to be in 4:3 though.

So what software did you use for the new FX out of interest?

Info: I found some Battlestar Galactica (old series) - fan edits with CGI

Browsing Demonoid I noticed a couple of fanedits, that I don’t think have a thread about them here (at least a search shows nothing).

The Living Legend - SE… Both parts edited into film format, new title sequence, deleted scenes put back in (from DVD probably) and some new CGI shots in places.

Judgement Day… Fanedit of ‘The Return Of Starbuck’ with all G1980 references removed, plus new CGI viper shots and dogfights. Plus different ending.

Apparently there’s more to come from this guy as well.

And then, after a second screening, they reshot some of the Veridian stuff, because fans didn't like Kirk getting shot in the back.
So as you can see, the film definetly works without Kirk in the next generation part, because it was scripted this way. But my favorite cut would leave the Enterprise B stuff still in. Just remove him from the end.

I don't think Kirk was ever intended to die on the Enterprise-B and that's that. The whole incident was merely a vehicle to get Kirk into the Nexus so he could meet up with Picard later in the film.


This is correct, the point of the film was to have Picard and Kirk team up.

I respect his opinion too, I just genuinely think it's a shame that some people can't live with less than perfect effects to the extent that they would rather see them cut out of a film entirely. This is after all a forum that wants to keep the *original* star wars trilogy preserved with all it's outdated effects. Just seems a bit odd sometimes.

The tweaked version looks great. Well done!

I have to say, I really like this scene, even if the running looks a bit artificial. If you can't get over the fact and enjoy it then I feel sorry for you.

I remember hearing about that someplace, but would like that confirmed.


Yes they do, but it's the same one on every tape. I think because in order to make the movie versions he got Flannery back to shoot some extra footage, so he was interviewed at the same time.

there will be biographies on key people and events of the twentieth century.


Only problem is that after he finishes a historical section, Lucas keeps going back and changing the events until they match his TRUE VISION of 20th century history. (e.g., Original Trilogy)

;-)

(sorry, but I could not resist a good bit of Lucas bashing)


Many of the Young Indy chronicles were historically innacurate anyway.
