Default Re: Battlestar Galactica: 14th Colony (Fan Film)

If anyone looked at 14th Colony as a lesson, I'd say the largest of the shortfalls began in the scope. It should have been a 3-12 minute video at the most ambitious. I learned a while back that before you opt to take on any fan effort, first ensure your resources. If you think you can launch a project and gain the momentum on the way to get the folks you need for the missing parts, it won't happen.

I obviously have my own theories as to why this project never materialized but given its mass push and (from what I understood) notable outlay of money, which never resulted in anything beyond a CG advertisement video, I'd be interested in what lessons learned the group came away with. I suspect that the roadblocks and problems they hit will be shared with anyone else who wants to attempt something in the future and perhaps they can pass along some good advice to the next group willing to give it a go.

All my best,


Russell
