		<description><![CDATA[There is blog done by a guy calling himself <a href="http://darthmojo.wordpress.com/about/">Darth Mojo</a>, who works on the set of <strong><em>Battlestar Galactica</em></strong> and "essentially makes spaceships fly around and explode." He's worked on <em>Babylon 5</em>, <em>Star Trek: Voyager</em> and now <em>BSG</em>.

The most recent episode, <a href="http://www.popcritics.com/2008/05/battlestar-galactica-recap-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/"><em>Guess What's Coming to Dinner</em></a>, had a pretty awesome scene of a Basestar jumping right in the middle of the Colonial Fleet. It caused ships to have to veer off course, not to mention all the mayhem of a enemy appearing out of nowhere.]]></description>

<p>The most recent episode, <a href="http://www.popcritics.com/2008/05/battlestar-galactica-recap-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/"><em>Guess What&#8217;s Coming to Dinner</em></a>, had a pretty awesome scene of a Basestar jumping right in the middle of the Colonial Fleet. It caused ships to have to veer off course, not to mention all the mayhem of a enemy appearing out of nowhere.</p>
<p>The image to the upper right was from his blog, and basically is a screen capture he did of a scene that never made it into the final edit of the episode, but was one he just fell in love with and could not let go lightly.</p>
<p>So he <a href="http://darthmojo.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/bsg-vfx-guess-whos-coming-to-dinner/">wrote about it</a> and posted the video you <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">see below</span> can see on his site of the shot. This is what he said to introduce the clip:</p>
<blockquote><p>I tackled the sequence where the Baseship jumps into the fleet, nearly getting blasted before our heroes realize it&#8217;s friendly.Â  There&#8217;s one shot in particularÂ which didn&#8217;t make the final cut that I absolutely had fallen in love with, so I&#8217;m going through the monumental effort of writing this entire piece and providing you with a deconstruction ofÂ the effects sequence just soÂ it can finally be seen.Â  How&#8217;s <em>that</em> for ego?</p></blockquote>
<p>You should definitely <a href="http://darthmojo.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/bsg-vfx-guess-whos-coming-to-dinner/">visit Mojo&#8217;s blog</a> to see the video and see how it was deconstructed. We had it posted here, but it was never intended to be a &#8220;embedable&#8221; media piece, so we removed it and are linking to his blog instead.</p>
