Stargate: Behind the scenes

http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/02/the-sci-fi-digital-press-tour-report-part-two/

I have watched though 314 episodes worth of behind the scenes footage and besides the mental headache i have i also know so much more about the way its made. Each episode of the bonus features is done by two of the production crew (e.g Director, director of photography, special effects artist, set designer e.t.c) and they talk about there specific are of work for that episode. Some would say that i have ruined the seres for myself but i think i can now appreciate it more now that i know how much is real and how much is added later. It is a good job i like Stargate because other wise i dont think i could have watched so many hours of bonus features.











So much work is put into the costume design for background extras and the whole departments just to direct the extras that are walking around the sets.









Though it totally ruined the illusion it was amazing to see the set for what they actual are. Seeing the physical set let me see and better appreciate how the shots were done.








Seeing the direction and support for the main actors was also good making sure that there comfortable even when that have to film in a pool of water for hours on end. Seeing the actors that are monsters or villains wondering around set with drink reading a script is a bit surreal after being a fan of the show for so long.















Seeing the parts that are filmed on location is the most interesting and illusion braking. scenes were thee completely alone, shot that people would just assume were simply the actor running though a wood. The were parts that went though how the lighting in seemingly well lit outside shots was changed to make a scene more professional looking.
