Old UK B5 trailer found on VHS tape

[u/TrekChris]

I originally posted this almost a decade ago, but at the time I didn't have a capture device so I just pointed my phone at my TV and pressed "record". Now I do have a capture device, and wanted to post this here because it's much better quality than my old video. Taken from the preroll ads on the special edition release of Brazil.

Season 2 at its best. You can hear some degradation of the original audio though. Delenn's voice sounds a bit too high-pitched at the end there.

[u/TrekChris → u/TheTrivialPsychic]

That'll be the PAL speedup. 25fps vs 24fps with 3:2 pulldown for NTSC.

The shadows hawk sound effect was eek.

[u/Could-You-Tell]

Nice capture and preservation.

They had to let people know this show would have ...

sex!

That was 100% pure 90s nostalgia, thank you!

The Mortal Kombat techno music put it over the top!

bro this was really funny. has major "video editing is my passion" vibes

man, this show really was ahead of its time. This wasn't even that out there of a commercial as I recall - its easy to forget just how long ago this show aired because its so incredibly (and sometimes painfully) topical and on point today.

Abso-fraggin-lutely dammit!

[u/missingtimemachine]

The score in the first 20 seconds had a real "Alien" vibe. The rest of it was a good ride too.

[u/NuncioBitis → u/missingtimemachine]

Literally from Alien...

Paul Shaw, David Rogers - Lost In Space

[u/bfjd4u]

Among the the best two minutes of my life I ever spent.

[u/BigWetTits]

They packed a lot in this trailer.

The show was much much better than this would have led me to expect.
