Cool fanmade CGI movie.

From everything I read about TBP, they are making mods for "Freespace" so you can do fleet combat/resource building/etc in the Freespace universe, with B5 ships/races.

After going to all the work of making the ship models for the Freespace mod, I think they had time on their hands, and made up the video.

It looks like they made up entire campaigns, like the Earth - Minbari war.

Actually, erm, no, Freespace is a Space Combat Simulator, so you don't do fleet combat, you fly around in a starfury.

But it's one of the best B5 games out there (despite the lack of newtonian physics), and, having made a few missions for it, I wholly recommend it. Not to mention that the original Freespace 2 (whose codebase it uses) is probably the best game next to none. And legally downloadble, natch.

Sci-fi parody movie...

Any Sci-fi fan has to check this out...

I almost feel off my seat as I thought it was only a Star trek parody...

Spotted something interesting on the Amazon page advertizing the B-5 Movies:

Babylon 5 - The Movie Collection

DVD ~ Bruce Boxleitner

Gee, I didn't know Bruce was responsible for the B-5 Movies.

Link updated

As for FreeSpace, I think TBP has a release 2 out there. Release 3 is close, and still developing.

My favourite is the intro movie for the Babylon5 Mod made to convert the Star Trek Armada 2 game.

Its only a few minutes long, but utterly breathtaking. With outstanding CGI (better than that used in the show)

I know at least one of the game creators pops in here from time to time (Davco92). Perhaps he could tell us how and where it was made ? (also if it's available as a stand alone download)

Agreed. The animated ones are okay, but the live action ones are a real hoot! I am looking forward to the release of ItP, if that ever comes. I have been following it for years and it is always just "a little while longer" (though to be fair it has been getting steadily more sophisticated). Amzing work for fanstuff.

Yep, Pirkinning not Perkinning. Given that you are Finnish you can answer a question I have had for years. Does "pirk" mean anything in Finnish, or is it just a random name designed to rhyme with "Kirk?"

Nope, it doesn't mean a thing. There's bunch of other things that don't mean shit either )

BTW is the Freespace mod already finished and ready to be downloaded somewhere ?

As long as we are downloading cool fan-made video, don't forget to download the "In the Perkinning" trailor from Star Wreck. A coupla Finnish twentysomethings are making a great spoof on "Star Trek meets Babylon 5" and the results are kinda amazing. Make sure you look at the portions of the site that explain how the thing is made. What they have done with bluescreen is astoundingly professional-looking.

Wow never saw it before,really cool CG stuff,loved it.

NotKosh, your Firstones.com link above seems to be broken.
I get a Not Found error when I click on it.

You might want to go back and edit it.

Just out of curiosity, is there anything coming out of the TBP ?

Because on Firstones.com it says: "This particular intro was never finished, it's still very good intro movie and we thought it would go to waste if people never see it."


Does that indicate that the whole movie thingie is unfinished and will never see the light of day, or just that the one particular intro was abandoned?

Rofl, "In the Pirkinning" is really great! I bow my head to the guys making it
