Uncreated Conscience

Just a bit of silliness from yesterday’s photoshoot. I recently discovered the continuous shooting mode on my camera (and my recently, I mean on the subway ride to the location) and snuck a few photos of Bex talking about Battlestar Galactica to edit into this short stopmotion film.

Fall is the best and most glorious time to be in New York, I think. Growing up in southern California, I never really new what fall was like, or how gorgeous the sunshine light could be. Because it was so beautiful yesterday, I went up to the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park to shoot some film. I met up with my friend Allison as well as The Inimitable Bex, who came with her awesome new red hair. Obviously a photoshoot had to commence (in which Bex looks amazingly like Gillian Anderson in some photos). Later we went back to my place so I could dress Bex up as Joan Holloway and take even more photos.

I’ve been struggling for a few days now to write this post as Battlestar Galactica is so epic, it’s a bit difficult to review. If I’d watched the show like any normal person, I could probably give you a coherent blow-by-blow, but as it is, I’m trying to encapsulate my thoughts on four seasons worth of story into one tiny (okay, really long) little entry.

Battlestar Galactica

My dear friend, The Inimitable Bex, is an enormous fan and had been suggesting to me for ages the show as one I would enjoy. She hasn’t been the only one, various friends whose artistic opinions I value had continually been at me to give Battlestar Galactica a go, citing it as being “totally up [my] alley”. It hits all my “buttons” (so to speak): religion, mythology, post-apocalyptic narratives, forged families, etc. Spoilers follow beneath the cut.
