Day 1

Well, Day 1 of our cataloging process has come and gone, and while we only worked a half day (I had to get to Seattle as I am going to the Vegas Star Trek Con tomorrow), we did get the ball rolling with some wonderful stuff. It was the first day on the Studio lot for my assistant Joe Beaudoin. So we got Joe going on his Studio ID and introduced him around to the staff that was there. The full crew is not back yet as the BSG movie is in the earliest stages of pre-production.

We met with Doug McLean and his assistant Lynn who walked us through all the art they have produced and saved from the mini-series on. Of course these days, most of the work is digital, so there is only actual original art from the first two seasons. But we did get a bunch of envelopes full to start our process and there were some gems, including the first concept paintings of the CIC and hangar deck.

There were also a bunch of great pencil sketches of everything from Vipers to Raptors to side arms and sets, which we will soon have in digital form on the website. And to make the budget challenged among you all happy, we found lots of items that we can sell around $1-200 that will be great additions to your collection.
