Farscape - 2x21 - Liars, Guns and Money Part 3 - Sci-Fi Channel Promo Re-Creation

This is a re-creation in the form of a Sci-Fi Channel 30 sec Promo for Farscape episode 2x21, Liars, Guns and Money Part 3: Plan B.

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.

All graphics are reconstructed (as best as possible) either from scratch or poor-hancing actual footage. Audio is directly from the pre-recorded Sci-Fi Channel promo with a bit of enhancing.

Years of sitting in a storage tote has saved my VHS as best as possible.

This one was a wreck to piece together. The beginning Navigation screen starts when it's usually 2-3 seconds into the promo (just hidden by the episode clips). However, in this (and only this season 2 promo) does it start at the very beginning. The background blue Navigation screen shuffles and repeats a few times. Toward the end, the Navigation screen fades and shifts again. Four clips were recycled from the original promo. See if you can figure out which ones they were then return here to read which ones.

The reason I decided to use the actual clips (enhanced of course) was because the original promo's clips used were from an earlier draft of the episode the Sci-Fi Channel would receive to cut promos before the final version of the episode aired. During the sequence of the aired episode there is white flashing during battle sequences that would white out the entire screen, where as in the promo there isn't. The first clip, when Scorpius says "I need him alive", is blended between the original promo and the aired version of the episode. Then immediately after the Peacekeeper flying into the air, during the night vision with the Peacekeepers, then finally when Aeryn is wearing the night vision device and turns her head.

This has been a work in progress for a week and a half.

One more to go!
