Farscape - 2x16 - The Locket - Sci-Fi Channel Promo Re-Creation

This is a re-creation of the Sci-Fi Channel 30 sec Promo for Farscape episode 2x16, Won't Get Fooled Again.

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 with a bit of enhancing.

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 August of 2000, VHS degradation is a real thing.

Sci-Fi changed these things way too often back in the day. The monitors rotating at the end sequence is shortened in this one (kind of back to earlier versions). It uses the same flash-over-text animation effect as 2x14, just height is adjusted. A few cheated frames that are barely noticeable. Audio is a disaster, but this is just how it originally sounded. Sci-Fi used an explosion sound effect at the beginning of 2x15 which carried over to 2x16. There's also a roaring fire sound during Summer of Sci-Fi ending, so this distorts audio a bit.
