That whole production is just terrible. Well intentioned, but terrible.

If they did it at double the speed it might be worthwhile.

If fan flim makers really wanted to show respect to the source material they...wouldn't make fan films.

I agree with this very much. Even if they ran it at like 130% speed it'd look way better.

I think making a fan film is OK if you approach it from a specific perspective, which is to say: if you approach the context as a framework for projecting your own creativity / art.
Sort of like how writing haikus and sonnets is important for poets -- you can't just be free all the time. There is value to having constraints. So to me, fan fic is ok if it's sort of used as a constraint on work that would otherwise be unlashed to anything else / as an outlet for people who would otherwise not be creating at all.
Or maybe I took too many vicodin again tonight, who knows.

No, I think you've got it right. I'm making a fan film based on BSG, but more than anything it's platform for me to learn how to use various computer programs and understand the complexities of making such a production. Using an existing franchise as a frame to hang this all on means I'm tested when otherwise I might give up on things.
When it comes to 3D modeling I've been forced to learn how to create complex shapes and textures and so on, so they're accurate to the versions on tv. If I'd been using my own designs, then I probably would've taken a lot of shortcuts when things got too hard (and thus missed out on learning opportunities), because hey, nobody else would know the difference.
In the case of doing something based on BSG, people can yell at me and tell me to learn to fucking model properly if I make a crappy, inaccurate, short-cutty facsimile, because they will know when I'm doing a bad job.
This is one of my latest test shots.
