Rise of the Cylons-Order of the Cylons

[Thunderstruck]

Hey everyone.

been kinda inactive for a spell.


One reason is, my mental faculties and functions have been disabled.
--- No ideas either...---


I been tossing around some things to try and get me started on something to make. One of them I am toying with are these:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Rise of the Cylons- Order of the Cylons-The Story of BSG-Prelude to Attack-

Are some thoughts and titles. Am not getting any inspiration really, or thoughts on what I even want to make. But I have wrote down some
story notes.

I have two perspectives.






The story of the Cylons begin, or rather near end, and the First Contact
by Colonials as in my Video "Cylon First Contact"

>>> Video>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SaNtpZffpc

Also- Annihilation

>>>Video>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI4YRvVY_Xw


Story so far

"Many yarhens ago, a race known as Cylons,escaped from their doomed and dying world. They built machines so their civilization would survive.

Soon the Cylons realized they could gain what they had lost...... through conquest. And after generations of this, it became their sole purpose.

The Cylons are thought to have died off, no one really knows,but their civilization of machines lives on. And their purpose? Annihilation!"


Second Perspective:


"It all started when we discovered a crashed ship of another race.
The ship was operated by mechanical machines. As we were investigating, several unknown ships attacked our recon team. We soon realized they were of the same type of craft found on the moon.

The Council of Twelve is alarmed and is ordering the Colonial Fleet to find this race and open diplomatic relations. To soothe over any misunderstanding."





Am right now trying to create one background (4 hrs on it so far), possibly for the Cylon home system that is under threat from a passing nebula, remnants of en exploding solar system.


Any input is welcomed.

Any reference images,videos,animations,models,sound files you think would be helpful

Am posting this, because at this time I am having comp issues that may require a reinstall of Win7 OS. So am working on saving all my files and may be some time when I can work more on this or it all may end up lost 4 ever.

Hope you enjoy....

First off.
Did you like the video? The CGI? The Music Mix? The Story or Concept? The Look? Leave a comment.

Would you like to see another short related or following up this one?




The story of the cylons .... more based on original BSG...Cr. Glen Larson..

"The cylons were not created by man. They were alien. They did not require sex every 33 minutes.
If created by man, yeah, I can see the machine wanting to boogie and get it on too."

"Monkey see, Monkey do right?"

--Randal R (today) :D



Premises, Notes, Concept etc...

My original outlay of the short fictional story based loosely on the original series story and speculations.

"Many yarhens ago, a race known as Ceylons,escaped from their doomed and dying world. They built machines so their civilization would survive.
Soon the Ceylons realized they could gain what they had lost...... through conquest. And after generations of this, it became their sole purpose.
The Ceylons are thought to have died off, no one really knows,but their civilization of machines lives on. And their purpose? Annihilation!"


Second Perspective:


"It all started when we discovered a crashed ship of another race.
The ship was operated by mechanical machines. As we were investigating, several unknown ships attacked our recon team. We soon realized they were of the same type of craft found on the moon. The Council of Twelve is alarmed and is ordering the Colonial Fleet to find this race and open diplomatic relations. To soothe over any misunderstanding."

Development ....

I was also trying to add some boarding action with the cylon models, but since I can only animate them in R10. I was having a whole lot of difficulty getting things to match up, let alone start animating them.

I found that I was unsure of what to add next, I got more lines of story I can tell, but
it just seemed like it needed to end here. And maybe I will do another take off this
with some colonial action.

Ironic, that a race built machines to survive, and those very machines turned on them, ...
or did they? Also, the Ceylons endured a hardship and holocaust and near extinction,
had they not been advanced enough to travel in their system and colonize, there would have been no survivors of the gamma ray burst and it's killing effects.They had to escape,
leave their world's behind to their peril.And later force this same situation on many other races. Bent on near madness from this they only knew
that they had to take and conquer. This they instilled into their machines (Cylons).
Or did the machines inherit this?

As far as history goes this is the best accounting of the Cylons. Unknown if their masters still are masters, extinct, terminated or if they existed.We know that when we did encounter them (See Cylon First Contact)
they had a vast Empire already enslaved to their ideals.

Actually pretty neat idea. I liked the cylon's themselves.

Looking forward to seeing more.
