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.

I think you did a great job of capturing the visual feel of the Bones titles, and the song choice seems to have had a great reception. Congrats hon!

I think in the end it ended up being more like "inspired by the Bones titles" rather than being like them -- I found I couldn't do half the things I wanted to without being able to keyframe filters, and the idea of copying all those clips to fake it just... bleh. So I just stuck with the superimpositions and a couple of places where the superimpositions of closeups transitioned to the next full clip... Someday maybe i'll be able to use more of those effects they do.
