If you never got addicted to Battlestar Galactica, here’s your chance: Wired is giving away a complete Blu-ray box set of the rebooted sci-fi show and its prequel Blood & Chrome.
Set during the first Cylon war, Blood & Chrome introduces William Adama, a rookie space warrior anxious to battle the sentient robots that have turned on their human creators. (This is a younger version of the war-hardened veteran who commanded the Galactica in the Syfy series that turned so many of us into couch-dwelling BSG devotees.)
In the exclusive clip above — taken from the Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Blu-ray, which went on sale Tuesday — members of the prequel’s visual effects crew tell how they created the show’s look with green screen and tons of CGI.
“Blood & Chrome is unique … in that everything in it is full 3-D backgrounds,” says VFX supervisor Gary Hutzel. “We create a full 3-D environment in CG, and that allows us then — even if the frame isn’t moving — to create depth and create animation in the scene.”
While you can watch Blood & Chrome on YouTube right now in 10-minute chunks, the hour-and-a-half-long version in the Blu-ray combo pack (retail price $34.98) is unrated. The Blu-ray also includes multiple deleted scenes, as well as more “making of” video.
Here’s what we’re giving away: Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series on Blu-ray and a Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Blu-ray combo pack. To register for the giveaway, hit the comments section below and tell us why you’re dying to see Battlestar Galactica and/or Blood & Chrome, whether as a first-timer or a BSG junkie. Deadline to enter is 12:01 a.m. Pacific on Feb. 26, 2013. One randomly selected winner will be notified by e-mail or Twitter. Winners must live in the United States.
Note: If you do not have an e-mail address or Twitter handle associated with your Disqus login, you must include contact information in your comment to be eligible. Any winner who does not respond to Wired’s notification within 72 hours will forfeit the prize.
