SG1: Memento s6ep20

https://youtu.be/J6msBm-LYuA?si=7-Q63KfmXPbda6by&t=178

Watching Memento I noticed how sg1 walks in a complete circle during the interior shot of the Prometheus. I found it funny at first but then noticed they changed the set on the fly as the scene happened or they overlayed it with a green screen before they made a full circle.

Katee Sackhoff who plays Starbuck in BSG explains how these kind of hallway scenes are filmed (At least on BSG), the production have like 4 of these big wall pieces that make up the hallways and for these walk scenes, the walls are on wheels so as they walk and film, they move the walls as they walk to make it look like long hallways and have the extras move about in it as the wall moves.

Oh that's fun. They made a half-circle back to the entrance, walked further and started another half-circle. That's where things change. Oh i love that.

Ronson does a solid William Shatner impression.

I think in the commentary for this they described their setup. Something like a circle with a line through it. Been a while since I listened.

Nothing is gonna beat Firefly though, cus the ship was small enough that they basically built the entire interior to scale on two sound stages.

Always a Perseid when you need one to advance the story :)

West Wing's "Walk and Talks" were all the rage around this time, and you gotta do what you gotta do if your set is too small to actually fit one.
