Battlestar bridge???

Charybdis · April 9th, 2009, 10:32 AM

Hello, my name is Charybdis and I am the guy responsible for the pseudo-live action/edited mini-eps called Battlestar Callisto that came out a few years ago.

I am in early stages at possibly doing some more of my mini-eps but I have a request: does anyone have a nice CGI pic or pics of a battlestar's bridge that I could use for chroma-keying??

I want to have bridge shots but I have no bridge to be on!!! Any help would be appreciated...

Charybdis, when you return to osBSG fanfilm making, my site continues to stand ready to assist with hosting........

Hey there Charybdis,

The ones Reaper linked to are shots from a bridge I built for an animated project I'm working on (which still working on, but a few sudden freelance jobs took priority). Its kind of my own take on the bridge and clearly not a match to the original, but the general layout is the same.

If you think you would want to use it I'd gladly render off background images for you to use. Just let me know.

Hey Al.

I still have my old version of the Bridge laying around somewhere. I think i sent you a background shot many years ago.

Let me know, i possibly could help you out.

Good to see you around again.

Send me everything you've got guys!!! I'll take a look and see if it will work for me. I have felt invigorated by the excitement caused by my friend, Bouri-Plwel. He and I are in the Rebel Legion together and I am helping him out with getting a classic BSG uniform together.

He has spurred me on to do more of my Callisto mini-eps and I have begun work on an interesting episode that I think you all will enjoy.

My goal is to begin filming and have it completed by the end of May. It might possibly be a two-part episode!!

OK, I've taken a couple of those bridge shots to do some testing on the blue screen..I'll let you know how it comes out...

Charybdis · April 13th, 2009, 10:55 AM

Woo hoo! It looks like those bridge shots are going to work, at least on a basic level in order to get some different type of onboard shots of a battlestar which have been notably absent in my previous mini-eps.

That's about to change!! Of course, I have a blue screen which is going to drive me nuts when I want to wear my blue bridge uniform!! Arrrgh. I will have to see about changing it to a green screen!!

Is your avatar by chance a cockpit mockup?

Charybdis · April 14th, 2009, 07:48 AM

Yeah. That's my old viper cockpit that I made to do my other mini-eps. Although I only use the very close-up shot of the front of the canopy so I don't really need the whole thing...
