THAT'S the Galactica I grew up with as a kid. It's my _favorite_ starship of all the Sci Fi genres. And the original Anthem of the Colonies! Love it! It still moves me to tears with its beauty and majesty.

This took me back to being 8 years old again. You captured it perfectly. Thankyou for your work.

What a great job depicting the old girl! Galactica looks nearly brand new!!

Outstanding! The whole 1978 film needs to be remade with modern SFX. Remember Sensurround? The cinema shook with the vibrations of the space battles. Those were the days when your movie ticket was worth the money!

THIS work gives me all the feels from my childhood... This is such a lovingly and respectfully made tribute... No notes. Perfect composition. Perfect deep Stu Phillips' music cuts. Outstanding in every way... I almost made it all the way through without crying... Until the distant overhead shot of the Galactica and fleet transversing the nova... The very subtle shadows cast by the Galactica.... Sublime. Much respect to you Peter Hirschberg... Thanks for the joy you gave to me just now.

Incredible work What i like about the orginal series is if you forget about the lousy G.1980 series you can do fan productions of the Galatica meeting any other space show since BSG doesnt have an Earth referance time period.

This is wonderful! I love the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica series :)

Stunning. These ships of the Original Galactica were the stuff of my childhood dreams. Even to this day I occasionally awake from a dream where I'm aboard the Battlestar, the Rising Star, or one of the many other stunning and inspired vessels in the Ragtag fleet searching for the thirteenth colony, Earth.

Fracking awesome, love it!!! Makes me dreaming of some kind of continuation of the original, as animated series or with real actors. It would be still time to hire at least Dirk Benedict, Herb Jefferson Jr., Laurette Spang, Anne Lockhart etc.

Thank you for the animation not just for Glen A. Larson but for the Original cast

That is so well done! A fantastic tribute to the original show - great job!

Galactica is a fine piece of Sci Fi Art...In 79-80, and 2003. Being retired US Navy. IT was clear to me, that the production and art crews for both series took ques from existing Carrier Tech, in designing the Battlestar design. Inside, and out. And there was particular detail to the interior sets and props, for the 04 re boot...

Excellent work! I’d nearly forgotten how good the original Battlestars look on-screen.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤️ 😍 YOUR WORK! THE LITTLE SHIPS IN THE BEGINNING FOLLOWING THE GALACTICA IS AMAZING. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE GALACTICA IS THE MOTHER WITH IT'S LITTLE BABIES FOLLOWING HER VERY CLOSE BEHIND. SOMETHING BOTH ORIGINAL AND REMAKE SERIES ON SCFI WERE NOT ABLE TO DO. GREAT JOB! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍

The Lords of Kobol would surely smile on this fan film. Original BSG remains my all-time favorite Sci-Fi show. This fan film is flat-out SUPERIOR WORK.

Very nicely done! Shows what the 1978 BSG could look like with CGI, like what was done with the 1960's Star Trek. Wonder why Universal didn't do something like this when they marketed their Blu-ray box set collection? Big Congrats to Peter Hirschberg and his dedicated team!

Why, because people like Phil kneejerk react to CGI reworks with "CGI SUCKS!". Plus, remastering would have required several million dollars more for even a half-assed attempt. I do think that STTOS needs another render for current 2K. Noting that much of Trek was on 16mm, 4K and 2K scans will be capturing original film grain; oBSG was largely 35mm IIRC, (Part of why it was as expensive as it was) so a 4K remaster of the scan may be worth it (but higher, such as theatrical 8k-24k will have caught the film grain).

LOVED IT! You did an amazing job capturing the feel of the original and perfectly integrating the modern CGI effects. This video brought a HUGE smile to my face. Thanks so much for sharing!

Very well done by Peter Hirschberg. Takes me back to the pilot episode I first saw in the fall of 1978, when BATTLESTAR GALACTICA had its premiere on ABC. Glen Larson is smiling down from heaven.

I so wish universal would release "Mission Galactica" in the US with CGI ships and new battle sequences, that would be so worth it on the big screen. Thanks so much for making this clip.

One of the few science fiction shows my dad would watch. Lot of great memories watching this show .great job man

Brings back such memories. I was 9 when this series first aired, and I was absolutely mesmerized. I still think this Galactica is the best looking capital ship in Science Fiction. "The last battlestar, Galactica, leads a ragtag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest...a shining planet, known as Earth."

A child of the 80s, I love the TOS Galactica and Vipers. Incredibly put together. Well done!

My kids first watched oBSG back in the 00's on DVD. They loved it. (And Space Academy and Jason of Star Command. But NOT Ark II.) Only one of them liked Moore's reboot.

Outstanding. It was so respectful to the way the original ships "moved", and we love, but photographed with modern, dynamic camerawork. How I wish this was from a New TV movie- heartbreaking 💔. Nice work!

Most enjoyable fan tribute I have viewed since the excellent "Prelude to Axanar" ! Thanks for sharing! Many fan creators are doing work that leaves the big studios with their boring chaotic dystopian remakes behind!

Damn! Immediately transported back in time. So accurate while adding shots we never could've seen. It shows how much potential the art design had. Loved this so much!!

Pete, you did an outstanding job especially with the Galactica's detail. Still one of my favorite shows.

Phenomenal! I listed all my favorite shots on your FB post, but I wanted to come here to fav it so I’d always be able to come back and watch! Anxious to see what might change in upcoming versions!

OMG this is AMAZING!!!! if the 70's had CGI then this would be how it would have looked like. Truly amazing in every way, the attention to detail and sounds, music absolute perfection! if this is 1.0 2.0 will be cinematic perfection! well done!!!

Gosh-dang this is good! The only reason in know this isn’t original dykstra footage is because it’s so vibrant. And that’s a compliment. If you muddied the lens and bit (and i am NOT remotely suggesting you should) no one would know the difference. That’s how spot on I found it to be! It would be a pure vanity project, and i doubt this would up the original series “street cred” by wide enough a margin to make it universally profitable, but what you’ve done here is proof positive the original show’s effects can be redone without losing an ounce of it’s 1970’-80’s charm and innovation! If i didn’t make myself abundantly clear, I LOVE THIS! Thank you and well done!

Oh my... this was Wonderful. I watched every episode in 1978/79 , my friends and I were obsessed ... I'd go so far to say we loved Battlestar Galactica more than Star Wars, and why not... we were getting new episodes every week. Keep it up. I'll probably watch this a 100 times, with a tear or two. And Frak ABC for canceling after one season. Cheers !

This is what the Battlestar Galactica would have looked like if the technology existed in 1978. Very well done. Thank you for this work of art.

It's been nearly a centon since I've seen something this good!

This is amazing. The ships all look gorgeous and the editing, camera angles & movements, sound & music are perfect. It’s Studio quality production. I love it. Thanks so much for creating and sharing it. Out of interest, what 3D software did you use for the ships & VFX. It all looks magical

Absolutely stunning. I watched the show at 10 years old and the original Galactica and Vipers are two of my all time favorite ships.

As a fan of the original series, your effort is appreciated. Thank you, Peter.

Speechless. All I could think was ' well, you're a talented man" - I grew up in the 70's and read Starlog Magazine, which issue after issue, detailed the making of the original BSG: your work is exemplary - I would suggest, what you have delivered here, is beyond the original vision of Larson & Co. Your Galactica @ 5:16 onwards, is the MOST STUNNING I have ever seen the old girl look! Amazing. I'm speechless!

To describe your videos as a 'Tribute' to Mr. Glen Larson, is a insult to the word 'understatement'! Hell! Even the freaking BRITISH, who are MASTERS of understatement, would tip their hats to you on this production. Please, Pretty PLEASE! With SUGAR on it ! Promise that you're producing MORE of these EPICS!

Nice work. I love when a story can be told without a word of dialogue. Sounds, music, and visuals all worked together to rekindle fond memories of this classic series. Thanks man.

Whew!...Nostalgia rush! Talk about a blast from the past. I was particularly impressed with the Nova scene and the music playing. It conveyed the loneliness that the fleet must have felt whilst journeying through the vastness of space and at the same time seeing wondrous sights that the galaxy has to offer. It felt as epic now as it did 40 years ago.

That was well done! I love the attention to detail of the "old girl" (Galactica) as well as the Colonial Vipers and the Cylon Raiders. This is what I was giddy for every Sunday night in 1978 as a kid. Long live the Galactica!! So say we all!! May the Lords of Kobol be with you always.....

I absolutely love this version of the Galactica. The front of the ship coming towards the camera always reminded me of a dragon and just looked intimidating. Excellent work!!

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!👏🥰❤️ It’s about TIME someone honored the original Battlestar Galactica - Well Done!! That long shot of the Galactica and the fleet going through the Nova of Madagon, WOW!! Brought chills…. Thank You for this🙏

I miss that show so much. It had a lot of heart to it; much more than the remake. Even with seeing the same special effects over and over it was great. You did a good job on it. I wish they had CG back in 78; then maybe it would have lasted more than one season.

A great tribute! I love this series so much. I can remember seeing the first 'film' in "Sensorsound' at the old Rocking Chait Theatre in Pompano Beach, florida in the summer of '78. Awesome time!

So spot on with the sound effects and BSG rendering, thank you, this brought a huge smile and fond memories.

Fracking Excellent! Now THIS was the Galactica of my childhood and the one true Galactica that I loved. Plus Maren Jensen was the first celebrity crush for this then 8-year-old boy.

Awesome. All the old feelings and emotions of the original came flooding back. In my head, I could even hear the opening narration of Patrick Macnee, Count Iblis and Lorne Greene, Adama. You nailed all those memorable scenes, like the shuttle landing, the Viper launches, Cylon Base Stars, Cylon launches, perfectly timed music, cuts, everything, just wow. Peter, you don't know me, but I've followed your work for years, like the Vertibird Simulator, LED games, the iPad Battlezone like game Vector Tanks, your old Arcade, etc. I've silently been a fan and find it a bit unnerving how similar we seem to be, although you are definitely more accomplished, my hat goes off to you sir. Watching your video of old computers, I noticed the Bambino UFO Master Blaster Station in the background, one of my favorite games, I still have mine. I also still have my mint Vertibird Air Police, and I'm working on building a modest Arcade. I hope to have an old shrine to my old 8bits like the Amiga 1000, 500, 3000, Atari 800, Apple II etc. For now, they're all boxed up. When not programming, I'm modeling, using Blender and Caligari trueSpace, mostly for 3D printing, and Newtek Lightwave back in the Amiga Newtek Video Toaster days. DaVinci Resolve is growing on me. BTW - I still have my Entex Galaxian and Merlin. There are just too many fun things to do like flying drones and helis, and far too little time to do it all. Now, back to watching Star Blazers.

This really gave me the same feeling as when I watched the original show as a kid. Only an updated version of it. Very nice indeed!

Awesome job! Love that it is the original Battlestar Galactrica from 1978. I'd love to see voices added to version 2.0 of people. Great special effects and nice to see the Colonials defeat the Cylons again! :)!

Not just the looks but you captured the spirit of the show, that's not easy to do. Perfect 10.

More passion and creativity in 7 minute fan film than the entire Rings of Power multi million dollar studio production. Very well done.

Now we just need finally a classic series revival.

An admirable job, thank you for being able to see the Galactic Ship with that image quality, congratulations.

Thank you for this master piece. Battlestar Galactica the one and only original and what we should have got the second time around.

The Battlestar is still one of the coolest capital ship designs ever made, especially for the good guys. When Battlestar Galactica came out, it was even cooler to me than Star Destroyers. Anyway, you did a good job capturing the feel of many of the OG SFX shots from the show.

Thanks for this and allowing my inner Galactican to dredge up memories from my earlier years, of many joyous moments rooting for Apollo, Starbuck, Sheba, Boomer and so many others to get of one last laser blast to take out a raider. Immense respect for your skill and dedication, and thanks to your long suffering wife to allow you to share this with all of us. From the UK, a fan of THE Galactica.

Fantastic job. As someone who grew up watching the original series, I can tell you really did your homework.

This is beautiful!! I was watching this at work and one of my coworkers thought I was watching the original show . You had all the classic shots

Very well done! I watched this show in the 70's and it was one of my favorites. This has the feeling of the real show. The music and the sound effects! And thanks for making it the original show and not that over hyped remake they did which was so dark and grim. THIS is my Galactica and the only one for me. Look forward to more!

Watching this made me feel like a 7 year old again. Thank you for making this happen and hope to see more.

Not only is the all the rendering work, 'aerial' combat choreography, and cinematography incredible, the breadth and majesty you've managed to provide the Galactic is unique and completely new. And the way that power and magnitude is then applied to those scenes of the Big-G performing its actual, vital mission---leading that rag-tag fleet of defenseless civilian ships---really reminds the viewer of what's at stake in this saga. Well done, Sir! Staggeringly well done!

Bravo!!!! Very well done. This takes me back to when TV was fun, more of this please! Merry Christmas!

Gorgeous is all I can say. I worked on something like this about 10 years ago, but it was too time-consuming for me. Fantastic!

SO well done. I kept thinking "HERE are the shots that I wish we could have seen in the original show."

Those last few shots look amazing :)

That was amazing. The Galactica I grew up with. The reimagined series was not bad, but went away from the original plot. Thank you for creating such beautiful work. Cheers

the best tv show of all times, of the great GLEN LARSON, amazing.

Awesome work! What a labor of love! I would love to see the old series done over like this.

Love it!! Gave me that feeling I use to get when I was a kid watching the original series. Awesome work!!!

God Da#@ it’s good to see the old girl again. Very well done.

This is Galactica forever! Wonderful job.

I am subbing, because I believe that the small indy filmmaker is where we should all be focused.

That was pretty amazing, as someone who grew up on the original series. You're true to it. But I also absolutely loved that last sequence from a bird's-eye view of the Galactica leading the fleet through that nebula, showing how precarious their situation was and how tiny they were despite the strength of the Galactica. Hearing the new age music mixed with it which was something we didn't really hear in the original series was also special to get that perspective. Please do more of that!

Great Job Peter! Thanks for a wonderful moment of remembering the film that stood out for me as a kid 🙂

This brings back all the warm fuzzy memories of the original. 🥰

Impressive. Detailed imagery, well timed movement, music and sound effects spot on. Very much felt like an older Battlestar era episode, only missing the actors. Thank you for releasing this.

Classic Galactica will always be the best.

The scenes were spectacular...on many levels..i appreciated the battle from the underside of the galactica, details of the launch tubes, and the rest of the rag tag fugitive fleet. That beauty pass with all the ships viewed from that altitude was dope! Love the hard work u did.. Thank you!

Nice, you did a great job capturing the camera angles from the original series, it brough back memories from when I first watched it, the only thing missing was the Cylon ship suiciding into the back of the landing bay. Loved it!

Absolute Goosebumps! Thanks for making me feel like a 12-Year-old again 🤩

Brought a little tear to my eye. The motion isn't quite right, (almost though), and the skins are too clean for Galactica, but still... wow!

A real treat to my eyes! Thank you for your hard work. It shows!

This is the very best fan film I have seen for the original Battlestar Galactica. Well done!! Wish the studios would bring back this version. The new Galactica was a good series, but the original design and plot is a better one in my opinion. I love we get to see new battle angles since the original series kept recycling the same shots. I would love to at least see the original series again but with new CGI, it would be amazing. You should consider adding more to this, like the Vipers landing. the original series never really showed the inside of the landing bays. Thank you for this amazing video!
