BSG - did they get the idea off of here? (spoiler warning for 4x10) - Scifi-Meshes.com

The CGI before BSG jumps to earth, shows all the ships left over and a star blazing light at them, reminds me of a pic i saw off of sci-fi meshes, forgive low quality, took these screenshots off a streaming website whilst at work

unfortunately, panning was pretty awful on the streaming video

Maybe, maybe Not ?

It's a Sci-Fi cliche shot that's been used any number of times in the past, so I very, very much doubt it

coincidence, it's a cool angle

I immediately thought back to that image when I saw the shot, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

I would have to agree with that.

Since everyone is influenced by something every day it's completely possible, however the likelyhood of it being true is slim. And as spudmonkey said it IS a cliche shot. A shot ST and dozens of other shows have been doing for decades.

It turns out there's only so many ways to shoot space scenes.
