Soundtrack titles

[Unclesamslair]

hello, I really need help. Does anyone know where the clip at 3:37 where the Viper mark 2 is doing a barrel roll to avoid being shot by a pursuing Cylon raider is from? which episode. kthxplz

[Corruo91]

I worked and created and HD remake mostly the same as your trailer, I am a huge fan of your work and I wanted to see if I could recreate the best parts of your work in high def, I've placed it in the video responses :)

[piip4]

I keep coming back to this one... damn you. You're probably responsible for me re-watching the show every other month.

[Corruo91]

Absolutely love this trailer! :)

[Polunderpunk]

OMG. This is fraking genius! 

[maddivo1]

this fan trailer is the frist time i have seen a trailer for bsg where the trailer makes shows how great this show really is for all those people out there that have not seen this show that is about humanity,love and peole that have nothing left but pain.

[Unclesamslair]

1 person was so stunned by the level of awesomeness in this video that they accidentally hit the dislike button.

[dackjawson]

Very nice video. I have a few friends I'm trying to get to watch the show on DVD and this might be the best selling point yet!!!

[Stalouk]

This always bring the tears... ty

[genecrazy]

This was a really good trailer, but the only thing that stopped it from being perfect was the font you used when you added the text. It looked too amateur-ish and plain. If you added some effects, or a better quality font it would have been a lot more effective

[GtSpearhead]

Truly amazing work. Kudos. It so perfectly captures the mood and themes of the show, and the musical timing and clips give all the indications of a professional trailer -- actually no, I wouldn't say that, because this far surpasses any official trailer I've seen for this or any other show.

[Hitman6880]

simply ... wow ... the greatest fan trailer i ever saw ... fantastic work 10 of 10

[Dalamantia]

I love them, I did not pretend to feel something to screw them over

[gimmypallanuotista]

This video is fantastic..

[ThePolysyllabist]

wait wait wait... ONE person does not like this??

I want their name, I want to know who can watch this and remain unmoved.

[starwars208]

simply amazing

[yoruneko34]

Perfect mood pacing, subtle yet efficient.

Perfect understanding of the show's themes.

Perfect choice of score.

crazy.editing.skills.

kudos man, this is the best fan made trailer for BSG on the internet!

[Hilly30]

simply brilliant!

[captaincmorgan]

This is great! I havent seen a bsg trailer that even comes close to showing how awesome the show is, this one is pretty darn close! I love the part in the beginning with Athena, perfect way to catch the attention of someone who hasnt seen the show but is interesteed.

What program did you use to make it?

[jangoisbaddest]

@captaincmorgan

I used Video Edit Magic. Quite honestly, I would not recommend it unless you don't have the money to buy a better program. It's nowhere near as versatile as other programs. I only used it because it was the only one that didn't crash after a few minutes (like Windows Movie Maker). And thank you!

[jangoisbaddest]

She won a Best In Show award! :D Thanks CJA!

[bimbe2]

its too bad that this video isnt available in hq :(

[jangoisbaddest]

Some news: this video, in it's first submission, has made the finalist list in the Creative Junkyard Awards! Huge thanks to freezeframe25 for letting me know about this event! Thanks everyone for your support! :)

[chintoca1]

The perfect BSG trailer. It shows what the series was about in its core essence. Good job!

[MrJonasQuinn]

One of the best BSG fantrailers I've seen on youtube. My only complaint is that the music is a bit too loud compared to the voiceovers.

[jangoisbaddest]

I know...the balance didn't seem that far off on the preview...but then, my program sucks. And there's nothing I can do about it now, since I lost the project files. Oh, well.

[Unclesamslair]

with your permission I'd like to take it upon myself to create a remastered version of this trailer with better audio, hd video, and a change in font to something that looks a little bit more professional. Otherwise I'll do everything in my power to keep everything else exactly the same.

[mkPraetorian]

3:16 wooow brutal song and video cut till end.POETIC!excellent brilliant!

[microbe5]

where's the music from???

[jangoisbaddest]

The music is from the show's actual soundtracks. There is a list of tracks I used at the very end of the video at 3:55. Extraordinary score, don't you think?

[microbe5]

i like the second one the most

[EvilSlyGuy]

The new one is far to serious, horrid wooden acting and terrible writing. The original had a great blend of action and humor not to mention Cylons. If I was your age I'd probably like it so I can't blame you for being a fan. TV was written so much better years back. FAR to many dramas on TV today, no need to bring it into the sci-fi world.

[jangoisbaddest]

I don't see why all sci-fi shows have to be the same. It would be rather boring that way. And sure, the old show was great at what it did, but it was a little too cheezy for my tastes. I'll take the occasional bad script that comes with the new package, when it also comes with fantastic special effects (exactly because there wasn't a battle every episode), mostly good acting, consistently wonderful directing and editing, and a score that is better than any others that I've ever heard on TV.

[jangoisbaddest]

It's also easily the boldest scifi show I've ever seen. The cliffhangers were always completely unexpected.

[jangoisbaddest]

It also had social allergory and complex thematic ideas that you rarely see in other dramas - some that you can only use when you're writing scifi.

I had better stop writing about this show before I take up the whole page.

[EvilSlyGuy]

If I was your age I'd probably like it as well. My point is that if it's going to be nothing like the original, call it something else. Starbuck being a girl along with Cylons being human has to be the worst ideas of all time. The original had a great blend of serious parts, action parts and humorous parts. The new version is full of horrid wooden acting and bad writing that is common today. We got ENOUGH dramas, reality crap and soap opera type TV today, keep it away from the sci-fi universe.

[jangoisbaddest]

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. The musical score alone is enough to push this show into the "landmark series" status. And horrid wooden acting? Sorry, but Michael Hogan, Kate Sackoff, Mary McDonell, Edward James Olmos, and especially James Callis can act circles around anyone in the old show. Dirk Benedict was god awful. Richard Hatch was decent (and also had a part in the new show, mind you - one of their many respectful homeages to the old series).

[EvilSlyGuy]

You were born in the late 80's so you are used to that horrid wooden acting so I don't blame you for liking it, that's what you grew up with. The music is different I agree but it's not nearly enough compensation for Starbuck being a girl or Cylons turning into boring humans. Agree to disagree yes, I hate dramas and soap operas.

[andthedarkrose]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

[EvilSlyGuy]

You are young, you grew up with the wooden acting and zero Cylons so of course you might find that ridiculous.

[andthedarkrose]

Are we talking about the same show?

[EvilSlyGuy]

Unfortunately yes.

[jbray1066]

the new bsg was glorious. the greatest show ever made. period. i tried watching the original, which i liked as a kid, but it's beyond awful now. i couldn't even finish it.

[EvilSlyGuy]

I feel the same way about the new BSG and most new shows today as well, terrible, I tried but couldn't even watch 2 minutes of it.

[EvilSlyGuy]

Human ones do not count, worst move of all time to make them boring humans. The thin robot version looks okay but gets a total of 30 seconds air time every six months.

[jangoisbaddest]

Right, because there's a lot more to this show than dogfights, shootouts, and special effects - in stark contrast to the first show.

[EvilSlyGuy]

Where are the Cylons? They are all people now? Took the best thing about BG and erased it. Lame.

[ArkhamTV]

Five stars, indeed!

[anaki101]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!

[sniperC55]

why the HELL have you not made more like this!?

[jangoisbaddest]

Because I am HELLA busy. :P

Thank you everyone for such high praise! I hope I can find the time to make another movie sometime.

[misthalu]

Without a doubt the best presentation of Battlestar Gallactica on YouTube. Thanks a lot!

[piip4]

I was trying to rate it 500 stars but I guess you'll just have to settle with 5 today.

[Doylie14]

That was very good. Such a good TV series. My favourite so far. The final season was great.

[JunGlisTs0Ldi3r]

awesome ! fantastic ! best trailer ive ever watched ! better than official trailers on movies ! you are genius ! 10 stars !

[Unclesamslair]

music too loud at the end, can't hear what people are saying.

[jtdoepke]

Five stars. Brilliantly dramatic!

My only criticism would be that the voice of the Razor hybrid cuts in and out rather suddenly.

[sag73]

Excellent! Another please! Perhaps in time for the airing of season 4.5?

[jangoisbaddest]

Already underway, dude. :D

[sniperC55]

... AND after, for all the seasons

[XP108]

This was REALLY good, I enjoyed it. editing was awesome =P

[IIIspirit]

yes very nice, but BSG got much more prices, can you put them in your film too?

[KillahMate]

Yeah man, nice work. I'm always on the lookout for more material to persuade my skeptical friends, this will do very nicely.

[innealta]

That was a fantastic trailer! I wish that SciFi had made some like that throughout the life of the show. It would have attracted a ton of viewers. Nice job.

[kelinea]

Perfect trailer..penny is right, we have to show this trailer to convince people to watch it :) Love it ! 5 stars

[pennyfeline]

Absolutely breathtaking! That would definitely make me curious if I hadn't watched the show before. It captures the mood and the themes of the show really well. Great editing, especially by adding voice overs. You did a fantastic job!

[jangoisbaddest]

Yeah, it's my cheap-a** video editing program. It's just plain out of synch whenever I cut a track. I did my best, but that one loose frame in the middle of the explosions just didn't want to leave. I couldn't do much about it.

[bigmil91]

the best fanmade trailer i've ever seen! gret job, pal!

[pulloxcastor]

Nicely edited ,and you chose some strong lines to go with the scenes.And you used Prelude To War and Shape of Things to Come , a killer combination :) Congrats.

[alfredoflores87]

Awesome!

[hylogicalchris]

Fantastic, I loved it.

The speech of Tigh's sounds more creepy now that you know he's a cylon.

[manadar]

Great job

there are not many good fan videos but this is one :)

[Jimbo2006GR]

wow , great !!!

nice job!

[JunGlisTs0Ldi3r]

so great ! better than official trailers ! very good job !

[jangoisbaddest]

Wow, thanks for the feedback everyone! I enjoyed making it (during the brutal hiatus between season 3 and 4, it was all I could do to keep sane).

@ michel, if you're referring to Galactica's flak fire, that's from Resurrection Ship Part II. The Heavy raider and the guy jumping from gunfire is from Occupation and Exodus, respectively.

[michelsspace]

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD

=O i have never seen something as incredible

zomg

hahaha

one question

what episode was the scene is 3:30 from?

[rufie710]

extremely well done. I will pass this on to my non SF friends so they can see why I love this as much as I do.

[ryan9111]

This is the best BSG fanvid I have ever seen!

[Pimpemans]

Usually vids like this on youtube suck balls.

Not this one though, good work.

Then again, you had great material to work with :p

Ahh BSG, I love you so :)

[bouyou1701]

frakkin' great !

[dave4deputyZX]

Yeah man really awesome. Very impressed. One of the best of all the galactica trailers.

[canuckgirl86]

Really awesome job on this!

[ElsaDax]

This is amazing, great job!

[Snyde1023]

awesome!!!
