I hope it
is filmed like that, myself. We already had a giant monster movie in recent years that was filmed in overly glossy CG from impossibly perfect CG angles. It was called Godzilla, and it completely sucked. Why would we need another one? I'd rather see the view from the ordinary people who have no idea what the hell is going on, not from the view of cardboard heroes.
I like the documentary film style, myself. Galactica has sure used it well. I love the uneven filmwork and zoom-ins with refocus during the battles, as if someone is in a cockpit with a camera trying to capture the action.
Someone, as an "amateur" thing, did a beautifully rendered Star Trek ship leaving its spacedock amid construction traffic as if filmed from another dock or ship, Galactica style, with the feel of a handheld camera and zoom-ins and zoom-outs. They added radio chatter, too, of clearances, orders, yard commands and all, which added another dimension. It was so much more believable than any of the cheapass glossy CG Paramount has done.
Here it is...the bit when it shows from outside the dock is in sort of BSG-view.
