Husker badassery wins an Emmy

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA won two Emmys at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony last night.

The first went to Gary Hutzel and his amazing team for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series. Second year in a row, bravo fellas! In case any of you folks missed it the first time, go back and take a look at the awesome Emmy breakdown sheets that the department put together to send to voting members earlier this summer, which VFX artist Mojo was nice enough to share with us. Awwwwwwwwwesome.

BSG's other win was awarded to "RAZOR Featurette #4" for Outstanding Special Class - Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program... which is an unweildy name for this year's "webisode"/"minisode" award. Featurette #4 is the massively cool minisode of Husker ejecting from his viper, and engaging in mid-fall hand-to-hand with the reimagined old school Cylon Centurion. Nice.

Congrats to everyone involved!

I never liked this scene. I am sure it's great technically, but it really pushed the limits of the word "improbable".

Um.....WHAAAAT?

Great frakkin' scene!

This is Hollywood, not reality. There is a difference.

Yeah I know there's a difference obviously :)
But realism is very important to RDM. I felt like the this really pushed it. The sky's an awfully big place for such convenient positioning.
