GW: Visually, which is your favorite episode of Atlantis so far?
MB: “The Eye.” The Rainmaker team created their own CG software to create the stormy water for the ocean. The level of detail and control has never been seen in TV effects before. Dan and Jose at Rainmaker pulled out all the stops and created mind-blowing shots. I think we went about 3.5 times over budget on that one — but you can’t get away with crap. You guys can spot that a mile away, and nothing kills a show quicker than cheap looking effects.
yeah the lynch one is great. im definitely partial to the new dune’s depiction however, it’s much larger and the smoothness is so imposing. it resembles the sandworms a lot more, which i think is an interesting detail.
I never got the hang of bigger ships. I think the biggest one I had was a Type-7. I think I had a Federal Dropship at one point but I didn’t get any use out of it.
Dropship was my biggest. I was aiming for Python I think but fell of then. I also enjoyed the smaller, more nimble ones. I think most of my time was spent in a Vulture.
They’re cool. I put a PAC on the big mount which probably wasn’t optimal for that ship but being able to oneshot the smaller ships with it (assuming I could actually hit them) was really fun.
