Awesome vid, as usual, David.
It's intersting to think that all those amazing effects come from such a varied bunch of people and machines. Very NOISY machines, too. Wow. Talk about reducing something to its base parts!
I think it's funny that they're basically stuck with that "outdated" computer doohicky to do their event horizon effects. You don't think of things like that...

Very nice stuff, as always, David!
And you've been keeping that from us for so long! Very lucky to actually GET invited to do the video, something special there, but to see all those computers, server rooms all for tape and effects, shows it's quite a lengthy process - for the machines anyway.
Every episode still in their achives including the full Rising which was a few days away from airing. Zoom, that tape would have to be viewed, if it was possible. Darn computer logs.
Great to see another video documentary, David, great stuff indeed.__

Yeah it's been eight months since we shot it - we were kinda waiting for a dry spell on the Web site, but since one never came we figured "heck, let's release it!"
Skydiver and I went over to Rainmaker about an hour after we interviewed Courtenay. This was something we were really excited about. We saw conceptual designs for the Ancient drones, a fully rendered diagram of the GEMINISpoiler:Asgard satellite
Bruce is a really terrific guy. I've kept in touch with him ever since and look forward to seeing him again next month. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the doc!

David - fabulous vid!! That was an amazing behind-the-scenes tour showcasing some equally incredible creative folks. As a graphics person myself (not vid, but print) it was a real thrill to see the digital world of Stargate through the eyes of some of the most talented and obviously amiable effects artists around.

Hey David! Well done on getting such a great gig. However, no offence intended, this is just me, but I got a bit bored after a while. I think what really peeved me was the first scene where you went into the lab with all the neg's being developed. As they were a little noisy I couldn't hear what was being said properly.
Too much background noise. I would have maybe gotten the camera op to do it differently. Maybe performed a walk through the entire lab without yourslef and Bruce there, then get Bruce to do a voiceover for you. However, as it is already done I would suggest taking the video back to the edit suite and adding in some subtitles. This is the very beginning of the programme. You gotta hook them in the beginning.
Mind you, I believe a lot of people watched it and found it interesting. Fair enough. Each to their own. Just thought I'd let you know why I couldn't get past that 1st sequence.
