Well, there's nothing really intimidatingly deep about the Tomorrow project. I think people think there is but really it's just...crack. The Prelinger archives is a collection of sponsored movies in the public domain, many of which are available on the internet (I believe the actual archive is in San Francisco now). It's just a collection of movies made by the government, by corporations, for schools, advertisements...any and everything. Media history.
So all the project is is a vidlet for each episode (usually shorter than my vidlets - most of them are around a minute or so) but with some crazy 1950s (or 30s or 60s) voiceover. It's really not as deep as you might think... Just...BSG is so technological and so 1950s in many ways. It seemed an entertaining idea to paste on weird pieces of our own technological history.
As I said, watching the earlier ones make me cringe a little but I think they totally get better as we carry on and I think the last four are pretty amusing.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the vidlet project! There's actually one more vidlet forthcoming - a crossover about the final cylon to The National music! - to round it out to twelve (10 episodes, mod's choice & bonus challenge) which I've actually finished a few drafts of but I'm waiting on betas which will take longer than usual due to realworld commitments, the fact I need someone who's seen both of my sources, etc., etc. But it should be up before the 4.5 premiere.
Anyway, I'm not sure they were all that thinky, but yes, I was totally shocked I managed to make that much vid and I think make some reasonably interesting vids too. It means a lot to me that you thought they were good.
OMG YOU TOTALLY HAVE TO MAKE VIDLETS! RLY. I SHALL ENABLE YOU HORRIBLY UNTIL YOU DO. I guarantee you will get addicted to them.
Also you can totally vid to the Boss. RADIO NOWHERE. *points at you* I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
