"LEADING THE BSG UNIVERSE"
Hello Everyone,
I thought I would share a little bit with everyone regarding the the filming that has been going on with our DVD presentation.
Of course the raw footage from Galacticruise has been sitting around for some time...a piece here, a piece there...which is basically how any film starts...a sum of all it's components.
At any rate, this is no different.
Of course we had to weave in a narrative with it...so all new footage had to be shot...not to mention adding in effects, soundtrack...etc. etc...but you get the "picture".
A dedicated team in Illinois has been plugging away at this for the last couple of months, headed up by Fred Allen (yep, he is right here on the Fan Club site as well!).
We shot some additional footage with Richard Hatch in Los Angeles to boot...so again all the pieces adding to the sum total.
What I have always found interesting is to see the process of film making...to look behind the camera and see how it's basically done.
I think that's why you see so many "makings of" attached to DVD releases...you'll find they go very in depth for instance with the "Star Wars" releases...and if you guys have not seen it or own it...Ridley Scott's directors cut of "Blade Runner" (which in my opinion is the superior film)...which also includes a very instructive & interesting "making of segment".
Bet you didn't know that Dustin Hoffman was the first choice for "Decker" before Harrison Ford, did'ya?
Basically it's the "warts & all" of the process...you'll find that's it's the "norm" with newer releases, so it's expected...but even more interesting is to see updated releases of older films like "The Exorcist" or "Psycho" and look at both new commentary & archived footage.
It really adds a whole new dimension to things & puts everything in a different perspective.
Now I'm not about to compare what we've been doing with "Blade Runner" or anything like that...totally different animals...but, the process is still the same.
Enjoy!
