The making of Babylon 5

When it was on TV is was never very fond of Babylon 5, i was never impressed with the way it looked, the story lines or the characters but the Making of video i got hold of recently has been really useful and interesting.

Mostly i got this video for the makeup and set designs but i find the parts about the effects interesting because there talking about there "new" "revolutionary" techniques (in 1994) were all the effects are done on computers and they can actually make models in 3D! it was actually good to see a bridge between what i have and physical effects.

For those of you who dont know what Babylon is:
"Babylon 5 is an American science fiction television series created, produced and largely written by J. Michael Straczynski. The show centers on the Babylon 5 space station: a focal point for politics, diplomacy, and conflict during the years 2257-2262. With its prominent use of pre-planned story arcs, the series was often described as a "novel for television."
