BSG Vidlet: Saul Tigh: A & B

[beccatoria]

Here's my ninth response to thearchive2's challenges!

Title: Saul Tigh: A & B
Video: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Audio: A & B Song - Tom McRae
Summary: Colonial officer or Cylon infiltrator: which is real? Is the difference only a projection?
Editor's Notes: My thanks to cyborganize for giving me an easy ride on this one because changing anything would have been heartbreaking. This is in response to thearchive2's ninth challenge: projection. I'm using it here in a more psychological than technological sense.

Tigh isn't my favorite character but I really enjoyed this vid. I especially liked your use of black-and-white versus color. It felt very artful.

Thank you! If Tigh's not your favourite and you still enjoyed it, that's a wonderful compliment to receive. I was a little worried about being repetitive since my Tory vid was B&W vs color too, but decided it was too perfect for the vid not to use it, and this way it sort of linked both of the "OMG I'M A CYLON!" vidlets in the series. So yeah, thanks for commenting on that. :)

Also, your icon = win!

They're so cute, I couldn't resist. (I think it's my only non-Starbuck icon!)

Ooh, since you say series, does that mean there are Anders and Tyrol BW to Color vids too? I would love a Tyrol vid. There's not enough love for the Chief. And my appreciation for Anders has grown of late too.

Alas, no, there are no B&W vs color vidlets for Chief or Sam in the series because the prompts didn't really move me to do so. I was actually against using the BW&Color thing initially because I'd just done so for Tory, so it wasn't a deliberate decision from the outset.

HOWEVER, one of the reasons I wanted to do Tigh is that I realised there were already vidlets that dealt with both Sam and Chief (and Tory, obvs) in the context of season four and their cylon identities but separate from the mass of "final four!" And I liked the idea of having a vid that gave space to each of the FF independently. So I wanted to do one for Tigh too.

Tyrol's vid is probably the least focused on him, sorry, but it's about the parallel journeys of Natalie, Kara and Tyrol (human, cylon, final five cylon), to a famous Mario Savio speech that BSG actually used nearly verbatim for Chief in Lay Down Your Burdens.

Sam's vid is actually Kara/Sam/Scar the Cylon Raider OT3 from Scar's POV! But I promise, Sam and his cylonicity is an important part of the vid (at least from my POV), and it's the first one of this series.

Scar (http://beccatoria.livejournal.com/60566.html).

If you're interested (though please don't feel interest is required!) all the vidlets (there are nine so far, and I'm working on the final one) are . (http://beccatoria.livejournal.com/tag/thearchive2)
