97 – I used to believe that, too.

Until I read this.

About Buck Rogers post…

“Executive Producer James Cawley …”

I guess he is tired of doing Star Trek? He always said they took too long, so now he is starting another series too?

And yes, Buck Rogers goes back to 1928 as a short story, a ten-minute Buck Rogers film premiered at the 1933-1934 World’s Fair in Chicago, a 12-part Buck Rogers film serial was produced in 1939, and the first version of Buck Rogers to appear on television, debuted on ABC on April 15, 1950.

Been around a long while.

Story is good, and the animation is dead on to the original TAS, which, of course, was bad to begin with, but I suspect you were going for the same look. But the voices are awful. The captain sounds like he is about ready to go to sleep, no emotion, no inflection, no urgency even when the story calls for it. A few of the others were better. If you are going to spend all this time and money, loose your egos and get some real voice talent.

As a pubic speaker (a Pastor of a large congregation) it is always difficult to stand before a crowd (even a “captive” audience) and deliver a presentation in a colloquial manner, especially when reading from a script (I do both extemporaneous AND scripted sermons). But compared to film making, giving 40 minutes speeches 3 times a week is child’s play.

With a live performance there is a give and take from the audience, be it “AMEN’s” or blank stares. In film making the actors deliver their lines for the scene, the director says, “Great, let’s do another for safety” several dozen times per line, ad nauseum ;) Each time there is a CUT the actors must reset, redo, and relive the scene over and over and over again.

Voice over work is one step WORSE. The actors in live action are ACTING, interaction. In VO work they are standing in front of a mic and if they are luck can see the director and not just have him/her buzzing direction in their headsets.

But the VO work for Farragut was one step even beyond that because I know much of the VO work was done by actors in different time zones with different directors and using different equipment.

It’s a wonder any of this came together at all, much less with the quality that it has! Sure there needs some polish, but as fan productions go Farragut Films is breaking new ground for their organization yearly and delivering even when faced with major actors moving to other opportunities, major studio moves, and production windows as thin as a few HOURS.

Kudos to Farragut Films and NEO F/X! Great production!

And remember, the only thing worse that people talking about you is having people NOT talk about you.
