In space, no one can hear you preen

I just posted a new Battlestar Galactica vid, this one for a character I don't even like because of all the terrible suffering he's responsible for: Gaius Baltar. It's kind of freeing in a way to vid someone you despise, because to tell a story, you have to learn to love the characters you're telling about; you see different things in them than just fannish objects of affection. And it forced me to see all these things about Baltar I'd never really seen before.

Digging in the Dirt
Artist: Peter Gabriel
File: Divx avi, 37MB (I recommend VLC media player, which you can find a link for at the site)
Dr. Gaius Baltar, scientist, narcissist, wackjob: It really is all about him.

Thanks for feochadn for the halftime beta; I hope the rest of it lives up to your standards.

Oh, this was really fascinating. Despite so much that has changed, Balter's egotism has remained. I like what you did to capture the uncertain state of his mind. Definitely a vid that I will need to watch some more to determine all the details of what I think about it.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and let me know. I love hearing anything from anyone, but it's always especially lovely to hear from people whose own work I really admire.
