I know this image, but I didn't know he did it.<BR/><BR/>I love how he chiseled the mighty Galactica right out of the canvas (or artboard).<BR/><BR/>Nice!<BR/><BR/>(and thanks for the plug!)<BR/><BR/>BobBobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05437468752863087382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37568007.post-45872219870174732342008-06-18T17:44:00.000-07:002008-06-18T17:44:00.000-07:00Plus stunt casting aging stars like Fred Astaire didn't exactly seprate the Battlestar Galactica from other ABC shows like Love Boat & Fantasy Island.Larry Levinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02796712092304761340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37568007.post-25267416612240624812008-06-18T13:37:00.000-07:002008-06-18T13:37:00.000-07:00At the time, I thought the effects work looked really good - as I understand it, they got John Dykstra after he and Lucas parted ways.<BR/><BR/>The main problem was, even though the show was the most expensive program made at that time, they still had to re-use a lot of their space shots over and over and over! It got old pretty fast.Jeff Pidgeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09480545918063778031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37568007.post-34429761762707709772008-06-18T11:04:00.000-07:002008-06-18T11:04:00.000-07:00Too bad the show's crummy FX didn't look like this beautiful concept painting. <BR/><BR/>Poor Lorne Greene should have stayed on the Ponderosa.Larry Levinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02796712092304761340noreply@blogger.com
