Channel Surfing in 2669 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Here's one you may have missed. A couple of years ago, BrynS went to work on the TNC Infoburst videos that we have in our Wing 3 Holovids section. He combined the existing WC3 news videos with quite a bit of his own creative CGI, various sound effects and additional WC scenes to make an authentic looking news broadcast. The final product showed what a futuristic channel surfing night might look like from Christopher Blair's point of view. It turned out really well. You can download the 97MB 9m:52s XviD here. If you have trouble viewing the video, we recommend VLC to play the file.

Well, this started off as just an experiment to tag a couple of the TNC Infoburst segments from WC3 together, yet as things progressed it took a bit of a detour. After trying to flesh out the Infoburst with some file footage, intro titles, stock tickers, etc I thought about temping out some snippets of other 'Holovid' programming that might fit in with the typical television/holovid environment circa 2669 -- assuming it actually exists in such a form -- using a bunch of Wing Commander related stuff.

Anyway, I had a blast doing it; perhaps too much fun, so don't take any of the items or references too seriously! I definitely plan to revisit this idea at some point, but not in the 2669 time frame and have already secured one 30-second spot for the next video, luckily not from the Galactic Frungy League!

Cheers,
Bryn

P.S. A word of warning to a sneaky cat whose name begins with T: you know what they say about curiosity!
