tenayaI guess you know what I did with my Saturday night!
Pegasus Project by Will Waring, Jim Menard
Mitchell was supposed to drop his tray to wake up Daniel, but Ben and Claudia thought the tickle to the ear was better. When they are watching SG1 viewing Atlantis, they say “Just let it play on Michael.” Comment that it was too bad Daniel spent 90% of the time in one room.
The briefing scene. They thought very carefully on where to seat everyone. Liked having shots that included cast from each of the shows, wanted to be fair to everyone. Used wide angles to really let the viewer get the scope of the set. This scene was shot well after the rest of the ep was done as it was difficult to find the time when both casts were available. The lemon was an ad lib fix for a Mitchell threatening Rodney with a lemon later in the show. WW and JM seemed genuinely pleased that Daniel got to go to Atlantis and they enjoyed anytime he was seen to be appreciating the city. Those two also got a kick out of the Sam and Rodney scene and seemed pleased that Carter was going to Atlantis.
The Ancient interface hologram was only sfx when set was turned on or off. The rest of the time it was the actual actress standing there under very intense lights. It took 1.5 days to shoot those scenes. “Michael and Claudia are always engaging.”
They really enjoyed how Mitchell would get in Rodney’s face if he got too annoying to Carter. They enjoyed the net write ups after the show aired; that people said if Rodney was truly allergic to lemons, that was a big threat. It was mean and funny at the same time.
Chris was supposed to wear goggles to protect him from the emanations from the wormhole but it looked a little too ZZ Top. Event horizons on black holes are blue because that is the last color of the light that is able to escape. One of them points out that the elements of the supergate should be able to pass through a regular gate. Finally, the other guy admits that the scale may be off. That’s the venti supergate.
“No one ever dies, there’s proof right there.” (camera on Daniel.)
They talk some about HD cameras and stuff and wondered if Daniel would end up at Atlantis.
They didn’t chatter at lot, and they repeated their subjects so there’s not a lot to this one. I enjoyed it, though.

This sounds like a good commentary. I liked Pegasus Project a LOT for allowing non-SGA-watchers (like me) to have no trouble figuring out what was going on. Oh, I'm sure I missed in-jokes, but overall, it didn't affect the story.

Date: 2007-08-12 08:33 pm (UTC)I wondered how that would work. Luckily, the most used SGA character was Rodney and he'd already been on SG1 what, 4 or 5 episodes?

Date: 2007-08-12 08:42 pm (UTC)Ironic, isn't it, that the real SGA crossover was done so neatly, and later ones weren't?
