This is a re-creation of the Sci-Fi Channel 30 sec Promo for Farscape episode 1x17, Through The Looking Glass.
I decided it's time to revive these once lost promos. Each promo is re-created using shot for shot what the Sci-Fi Channel used in their promotional clips during commercial breaks.
There are two versions of this style of promo, one is the 30 second (that I've re-created here) and then there is a 15 second one (maybe make it some day if I can find it in my VHS tapes). This promo was one of the first to feature the updated graphic change of promos for Farscape. Other re-runs/re-airings of episodes during season 1 adopted this graphic style. This specific version was aired to promote the Friday May 12, 2000 re-airing of the episode. How do I know this? The commercial block that this was a part of was advertising a new episode of 'Good Vs. Evil' episode "Underworld".
Creating this was hard, I wanted to give up at first, because I had already started making the graphics and the hard drive they were on died. I had to start over from scratch again. 2 frames (completely stripped of all white effects and text) were used to construct the beginning and ending animations. The end 3D animation is directly from footage, but cleaned up a little. I also didn't have very clear audio to work with, but I made due with what I had.
This one took too long to create due to job interference and hardware failure.
