Why this vid kicks ass:
The best fan videos meld song and image as seamlessly as possible so that they tell a story, sometimes in synch with the source material, sometimes at odds with it (what we call AU). After going through my extensive library of BSG vids, I narrowed my search down to just a handful that I felt got their message across in both a memorable and entertaining way. Of that handful, there were just a couple that I kept coming back to, time and again. And of that couple, I present to you:
The Lord’s Prayer by MariKs
The Lord’s Prayer is a powerful song in its own right, but when combined with images of the struggle between the Colonials and the Cylons as well as the struggles of both peoples amongst themselves, you get a powerhouse of a music video. Mariks has found many parallels to emphasize and explore – parallels between cylon and human, parallels between the seasons of the show – all tightly edited to tell the story of Battlestar Galactica.
Here’s what the vidder has to say about the vid: when I first heard this song the initial idea was to make a vid about the cylons mostly and their conflict with humanity through the aspect of their faith. Turned out they're much more connected to their "parents", than I thought. :) So this vid isn't just about the cylons but pretty much about all the characters involved in the main storyline of the show. I hope you'll enjoy it.

m_a_r_i_k_s has posted both a download link and a link to YouTube so that you may simply watch the vid. I first found it on YouTube, but then I tracked this puppy down so that I could download, because it’s a true keeper.
Enjoy!
