Really a great thing to see, Captain Cal! If it's not done, keep up the work - we all really really want to see it!

Funny as anything!

Can I buy the DVD? CMon! Just one copy before September!

Maybe we can place it on Amazon and see how favorably the fanfilm sells compared with the real deal. :-)

Some people will have a moan about anything - I`ve downloaded 100Megs before now on dialup (before cable) - you just leave the PC running - If it`s costing you too much to leave the PC on, then go out and buy broadband/cable.

Jeez, 29 Meg on 56K modem would have taken me just less than 3 hours on an average day with a 56K modem, Is that too much to ask for? If it is then you need a lesson in patience.

Dial-up? How quaint. *snicker*

Just kiddin'. I was on dial-up for a few yrs before I came back to cable.

Howdy all.

Just got back from a weekend of camping and loved seeing all your comments. I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say we over the top appreciate it.
Also, thanks for the comments about the site. It was put up so seat of the pants that there was bound to be problems. In the next couple of weeks we'll put some more effort into it. There'll be a smaller, more manageable clip, a bunch more info, and some pretty funny production stills.
As for viewing the whole thing... I'm not sure what to do with it after DragonCon, but it was made to be seen so I'll think of something.

Thanks again everyone (and to DarkJester for bringing it everyone's attention)!

I thought it was GREAT! Very well done! I'd love to see the whole thing, along with some behind-the-scenes clips of the filmmaking process. It's always encouraging to see great efforts come out of the fan communities, some of which exceed the work of the "real" industry. Look at the work the Star Trek: New Voyages and Star Wars: Revelations people have done (not to mention the classic "Troops" from many years ago)!

I don't think that it's beyond the realm of possibility for a group of dedicated fans to produce material equal to (if not better than) movies and/or shows that have been produced in the past (or at least write material better than present day tripe like Episode III: Revenge of the Sith). The SFX that can be produced on a home PC these days far exceed anything that could be done even a few decades ago, and by using techniques like those used in Sky Captain and Star Wars Revelations, sets can be spectacular without costing millions of dollars...

But I digress...

Good work, and I look forward to seeing more... and extra kudos for the title song... a most excellent riff...!

Shiny!

I love the clip. Can't wait to see the whole thing at Dragon Con.

Got a handle on when & where we will be able to see it CaptainCal?
