Video Episodes will be delivered via the Internet, mail, and other avenues not manipulated by traditional/existing distribution channels. Halfway between seasons or maybe every two seasons, film features will be screened in random or dedicated theaters built for screening films and features not controlled by studio powers. This will be one reason why unsigned, unrepresented talent will be sought. Only those who accept that their affiliation with this project or renegade projects such as this might get them permanently blacklisted from major studio work.

The episodes will be produced using a combination of Linux and Open Source tools. Commercially-available software friendly to Linux and Open Source will be used. Where necessary, the absolute minimum use will be made of a certain operating system. Render farms will be Mandriva ,Red Hat, and Suse.

This production will require some of the most advanced and most ambitious CGI and bluescreen work ever attempted. Also needed will be live sets, some on-location photography, much labor to build sets based on the blueprints of each of the 4 ships.

Season one will require ship-specific sets from the CGLW-1065 and the CGHRD-1095. Model makers will be needed for CGI and hand-built models of these two ships, as well as previews of the CGHRD-1165 and the CGHID-1278.

If things are international, then contributing nations that claim to believe in peace over bloodshed will contribute through creative accounting. There are enough shady off-books accounts in every country that this project could look or be funded legitimately financed without heavy scrutiny.

I envision the full-scale/life-size construction of the CGHRD-1095. It doesn't need to actually sail, but it should float and be towed. It should have flood-capable tanks to simulate at-sea motion with failed fin stabilizers. It should have working scuttles, hatches, portholes, bunks, lockers, command and control stations, hangar doors, and be able to accept a live, working helicopter or two. A floating hull should have only two (not all 4) working engines, but need not be military grade. (Maybe Kawasaki or Rolls-Royce-Trent will have two demilled (demilitarized) engines they can donate?) The hull need not be built to military specs. Commercial grade should be sufficient since the hull will not need massive strength to survive harsh at-sea weather and waves conditions. Nor would the engines need copious horsepower for speeds beyond 12 knots. The ship can be towed to other locales where live filming would take place in life-like settings. In any case, an enormous amount of scrap steel suitable for minimal seaworthiness conditions will have to be procured. The hull should be "stateless" to work with the theme of having international actors rotate in and out on a yearly or seasonal basis.

If it is too ambitious to build a floating hull, then one which is landlocked would be acceptable if it can roll and pitch for actions sequences. In any case, gun mounts, missile cover doors and other major equipment should be functional for realism, though firing of guns and missiles will not be sought. Telescoping replenishment kingposts and such would be ideal.

The cost of labor is such that there are only a very few labor-rich, technologically-advanced locations which can construct the sets expeditiously, keep them erected, produce the CGI...
