ATTN JMS: Kosh CGI Question

 Posted on 4/21/1995 by jmsatb5@aol.com to rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated


PS...as an aside on EFX...we constantly slip EFX in and a lot of
folks don't even notice it, because we don't point to it or make a big
deal out of it. It's just *there*. One example of this I mentioned was
the sanctuary in "Coming of Shadows," a virtual set that doesn't exist
in reality.

Here's another one.

In "Soul Mates," and in the main title, you'll see the shot of the
bazaar. It's a wide shot, showing the two levels of the bazaar, with
people walking on either side of the second floor, looking down into the
main area.

Secret revealed: there IS no second floor. Doesn't exist. We made
the second level digitally. To the best of my knowledge (though I might
have missed something), I don't think anyone noticed this as being a CGI/
composite effect. It's just there.
