As I mentioned on a previous post, I had intended for "The Phantom B5 Video" to be my last. It covered the whole series, hit all the high points, but the series was over and Crusade had been sabotaged by TNT.
And then, maybe three weeks before DragonCon in the summer of 2000, the news broke that the SciFi Channel would be picking up Babylon 5 starting that fall. And since people had sorta come to expect something new from me each year, I had a few ideas and quickly pulled this together, including a very long and unbroken animation sequence to open the video. The music in the second section is from The Matrix, as this piece was fresh in my mind, as the early versions of Crazy Watto (a Star Wars fanfilm of mine that would later play at the Cannes Film Festival) used it as an underscore. The first piece of music should be intuitively obvious, once you hear it.
