Amazing Pitch Reel for a CGI Restored Version of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
For those of you who are fans of the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica series, you’re going to want to check this out. It’s a demo reel created by Adam “Mojo” Lebowitz that gives us a look at what a digitally restored special edition of Battlestar Galactica would look like with a CGI upgrade, and it’s freakin' glorious! If he actually had a budget and a team to work with, imagine what they could do. The same thing was done for the original Star Trek series, so why not give Battlestar a little love?!
Lebowitz has worked as a Senior Computer Animator on Babylon 5, a Visual Effects Supervisor on the 2001 restoration of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a digital artist on Serenity, a Computer Graphics Animation Supervisor on Star Trek: Voyager, and a previz artist on Oz: The Great and Powerful. He was also a CGI artist on Ron Moore’s reinvention of Battlestar Galactica.
This was made to help spark some interest in the powers-at-be to move forward with a special edition of this classic sci-fi series. This would definitely make a great tribute to creator Glen A. Larson, who passed away recently. Something like this should definitely happen in his honor.
