Farscape - 2x02 - Vitas Mortis - Sci-Fi Channel Promo Re-Creation

This is a re-creation of the Sci-Fi Channel 15 (yes 15) sec Promo for Farscape episode 2x02, Vitas Mortis. This is actually the third episode in production order for Season 2. Do to the Sci-Fi Channel wanting the lineup changed, episode order is thrown off until late half of season.

I decided it's time to revive these once lost promos. Each promo is re-created using shot for shot what the Sci-Fi Channel used in their promotional clips during commercial breaks.

All graphics are reconstructed (as best as possible) either from scratch or poor-hancing actual footage. Audio is directly from the pre-recorded Sci-Fi Channel promo.

Years of sitting in a storage tote has saved my VHS as best as possible, slight hissing had to be removed in post and a few audio levels raised. The audio still has a bit of a muffle sound to it. The recording for the original promo was taken back in March of 2000, VHS degradation is a real thing.

Audio was scratchy and muffled, did what I could, it's not great. Cleaned the heads of my VCR too!

Since the previous upload didn't score too well with views, I wasn't going to bother continuing, especially since the Sci-Fi Channel cut this promo in half. Only a few episode promo's for Season 2 are 15 seconds, most return to the 30 second mark. This promo is shot for shot, including the stamped on "new episode" that flashes temporarily. The original promo was thrown together last minute at the Sci-Fi Channel, which is why I'm guessing it was so short. Even the ending text in most all these promos is different, I have to manually recreate them each time.

Let's see how well this one does...
