hello all, this is my first post. I'll admit I pretty much joined up to make a post about my fan film called "By Your Command". It was a 4 minute short film made for the Sci-Fi.com Battlestar Galactica Short film competition. Basically the competitors were to come up with a 4 minute video using resources supplied on the website or use your own. They supplied special effect shots and sound effects and music. Suffice to say we only used one shot from catalogue and we made up the rest.

Every other visual was shot, or CGI'd by us. The music was original music and all of the sound effects were re-created by the sound effects supervisor. And yes there is a sound effect at the end of the short film that was recreated from scratch entirely and not ripped off from the show. Watch the film to find out. I know this isn't exactly fan fiction in the realms of it being a story, but it is fan fiction in the visual kind.

I hope you enjoy it. I think it's a really good wee short film, well made by us and I think if you're a BSG fan you'll enjoy it.

Cheers

So, she's the Final Cylon?

Just kidding. That was pretty good. Tense. I thought the music was excellent.

Cheers guys! Yeah she's the final Cylon ;) This was actually made just before the final 4 were revealed. Apparantly the DoP showed it to a friend who was a heavy BSG fan and they thought it was an actual spoiler from the show.

Some Cartoon lego video won it instead :(
