Behind The Scenes of Wing Commander III (September 16, 2006)

[KrisV]

The Premiere Edition of Wing Commander III and Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander III came with a bonus CD-ROM that featured a blooper reel and interviews with actors and Origin crew members. One of the oldest files in our downloads section is an awful RealMovie version of the blooper reel. Now all of these can be downloaded in their original AVI format from CIC Holovids. This is 1994 AVI so the picture quality is not great, but it's really interesting to hear people talk about the filming and design process. Each of these zip files contain five brief interviews:


Cast

• Ginger Lynn Allen (Chief Technician Rachel Coriolis) (13 MB)
• Jason Bernard (Captain William Eisen) (9.9 MB)
• Jennifer MacDonald (Robin "Flint" Peters) (9.8 MB)
• John Rhys-Davies (General James "Paladin" Taggart) (11 MB)
• Malcolm McDowell (Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn (8.3 MB)
• Mark Hamill (Christopher "Maverick" Blair) (15 MB)
• Tom Wilson (Todd "Maniac" Marshall) (13 MB)

​

Crew

• Director and Producer Chris Roberts (18 MB)
• Associate Producer Adam Foshko (13 MB)
• Art Director Chris Douglas (7.4 MB)
• Programmer Frank Savage (11 MB)
• Sound programmer Martin Galway (11 MB)
• Music composer George Oldziey (12 MB)

​

I wonder if Frank Savage still has that license plate. You can find the blooper reel in the Holovids section.

During the course of the last year, I've seen three California plates that could have at least possibly belonged to WC fans - including EISEN1, MAVRICK, and I(heart symbol)MYAMG. I almost snapped a camera phone photo of each of them for the CIC, but at the time I was pretty sure I was banned permanently.

Do you need a special codec to make these work?

No, they're old, old AVI. Anything will play it.
