Battlestar Galactica

Dale Herigstad of Schematic gave me a sneak preview last night of the look and design background to the XBox2 prototype he is building for the XBox2 edition of the Battlestar Galactica TV series. Smooth segues from TV to shoot 'em up to network promo to EPG (electronic programme guide). The defacto standard 3D interface seems to come from him (e.g. TimeWarner interactive TV trials in Orlando, Minority Report, X Files, XBox 2....)

"reality space" aesthetic. CGI warfare scenes feel like hometown aerial shows shot by handheld camera, with abrupt zooms, unexpected pans and streaming contrails.
