Update #2: Rocket Ship Teaser

Posted on July 19, 2010

Hi everyone!

While this has been available on "YouTube" and linked to from this project page, what hasn't been available is the High Res version of it.

Now you can see Buck's 25th Century Rocket ship in all it's glory, full-screen on your computer.

Notice the controls in the cockpit, the carbon scoring on the hull, and pressure wave of the exhaust!

We think this "retro-future" look for the technology will be key, and give Buck Rogers Begins a "Steampunk" type of feel.

Kind Regards

Charles Root

      I think Bobby is perfect for this part. Having watched the video, he just fits it so well. He has the look and the talent. Being only one day left I guess the project doesn't get funded. What a shame. I sure with there were a way to get the message out to more people. I stumbled upon it. Here is hoping this still gets made. Good luck guys.
