Voltron meets Battlestar

Check out this live action short directed by Alex Albrecht:
I enjoy shorts like these. They show the love and dedication of a source material without much of the Hollywood trappings. Look back to Mortal Kombat Rebirth. It had its faults for sure, but it took the source material seriously the way fans would want to see it. It wasn't over the top camp like the Mortal Kombat movies. Even Mortal Kombat: Legacy managed to keep from becoming campy save for a few episodes. Batman: Dead End is another example of respecting the source material and then expanding it.

Back to the real topic at hand. This was an extremely well done live action short for Voltron. It is also something that I could imagine SyFy doing. The short left me thinking of Battlestar Galactica in its tone and the way it was shot. Timothy Omundson does a fantastic job playing this straight.Kudos to Mr. Albrecht ad best of luck in the future.
