Default Re: BSG Fanfilms - why so few, if any?

I agree with what has been said above ..

I was involved with a BSG project but alas it never worked out.

its is as David Kerin pointed out. it people and in right area.

and for me it the scale of the project ..

look at star trek or star wars .. depending of the story you do you have small sets relatively speaking. the Enterprise Bridge .. a x wing cockpit . even a portion of a star destroyer bridge would be easier to do than the Bridge of the Galactica. you can of course CGI it and use blue screen but still its a technical task that you need member of the production in the same city .. or at the very least the same country.

in the project I was involved in were where in different country's and time zones. the www is a useful tool but it still has some limits.

the are many great stories out there based on BSG but the few I read are still for the most part big stories .. massive stories ....

Here I think of Martoks story .. massive for a fan effort . epic really.

Russel Sanders audio story Exodus is a good one to try as it can be adapted as its a character story and has if my memory is correct a few locations.

I did spend time a few years ago planing out how I would have done it.

for the BSG i would use cgi characters and sets and forget using people who have there own lives and need that will cause problems ,..

that my 2 cent of info ..
