Ladies and Gentleman!
So today we've seen (or some will see) the last new Farscape epy for a while... Yeah, I know, it sucks. But this ain't over by a long shot!
Back in at the beginning of the campaign I was desperate to do something, but didn't quite know what. Until cleverfox asked for peole to send in video-footage from the Fifth of Farscape rallies. So I whipped out my camcorder and took it to the ralley in LA and it turned out to be a riot. Back then we first started talking about "Saving Farscape: The Movie", a documentary to talk about what happened during the campaign, how people felt, what people did. Something that at the same time should create some video-footage we might be able to interest news-rooms in broadcasting. And that's how we decided to conduct cast and crew interviews at the Burbank Convention in November last year, using professional equipment. When I started to push for it I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into and in all honesty, I'm not sure I'd do it again... well, I probably would, but I'm certifiably insane and this just proves it :D
It was a lot of hard work by a lot of people and I would like to thank them here!
Maayan and Makiko were both absolutely essential, without them none of this would have happened and as a little thank you we besieged their hotel room at the Con day and night and didn't give them a moments rest :D :D :D All hail Maayan and Makiko! Love ya girls :)
Alison and our Editor were then ones who took care of the DP part, setting up the lighting, making sure everybody and the shoot looked fabulous. And our Editor has then created magic by editing the raw footage together the way he did. You'll see what I mean when you watch the clip. He's simply the best and I can't thank him enough :) We were so incredibly lucky to have him on board!
gurnemanz has worked wonders in getting the scoring done (after sadly Mr. Gross couldn't do it due to his workload! But I'm sure glad he's busy and working :)) and getting a friend of his on board who provided us with original music to use for scoring (to check out Carl Weingarten and his music visit this site: Multiphase Records, www.mphase.com)
Of course a HUGE Thank You to Raelee Hill, Ricky Manning, Wayne Pygram and Lani Tupu for answering our question and being such fantastic people :) :bounce: And Thanks also to Claudia Black, Giggi Edgly and Anthony Simcoe, who all agreed to the interviews but then were whisked away by the Creation security people before we could actually go through with the interview!
The same goes to cofax, Deneba and fialka who all agreed to an interview and of course got only quoted with the juicy bits they said :D :D :D And of course also for your relentless work through SaveFarscape.com. This also includes Jul and Red and Waltersgirl, who helped us to set everything up, let alone allowed us to plan things through this wonderful board!
And now to the many angels who have agreed to put the video up on their site for people to download! Akimbo and AyuRocks and Chryse and Una and I might add some later. All hail them for their sacrifice of bandwidth to allow everybody to watch this 17MB monster :D
Hell, I'm sure I forgot people! Spank me with a wet noodle if I did! Or better email me so I can add you :)
If any of you had any doubts about whether or not the cast and writers of Farscape want to finish the show, if you had any doubts that they hurt even worse than we do, you'll stop wondering once you've seen the vid. They want to finish the story as badly as we want to see the end, no, actually more so!
So without any further ado (she says after a two page post!) here are the links:
Please note that you might have to update your quicktime with the very latest version in order to get sound AND picture :D A number of tests have shown that people had trouble, but it always worked out after downloading the latest update for quicktime :)
And please, just download the link to your computer and watch it there as many times as you want :) The entire clip is around 5 minutes and if people watch repeatedly through the webpages it'll eat up bandwidth unnecessarily.
In Europe: check out www.farscape-one.de

Love and Peace and Hope, Always!
