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.

Open up the places I got hurt

Very cool effect with the back and forth and the overlays. At first I thought it was an odd music choice, but as I watched I realized how great and perfect it really is. The structure and narrative is well designed. The pacing is wonderful and works with the clips and editing to make something special that’s more than just about Gaius, even though it is all about him.

Thank you for such lovely comments! (Don't you think Dexter would totally see through Baltar, and kick his ass?)

Dexter would probably tape him to a table and slice him up a bit. :) Then Baltar would try to come on to him to get out of it, but Dexter would have no idea what was going on.
