    Cropped CGI on DVD?: Final Clarification

    Hey Joe, question for you. You indicate in that post that the pure CG shots seem to look better to you than the composite CG/live action shots, and I wanted to ask you why you think that's the case. I don't have my DVD's on hand to test on my own relatively new LCD HDTV, but I remember...

    TMOS casting - a hersey

    I'm coming out of lurk mode here, so forgive me if much of this has been discussed already. but Joe, I gotta ask you a few questions. Joe, do I understand you correctly. Is it your contention that WB wants to both (A) make a B5 feature film in which most--if not all--of the original B5...

They would've used some paint programs for textures and I believe I read an article with Joe Johnston about using some Mac software for compositing, but the VAST majority of work was always done with Lightwave (on various platforms). B5, especially the Foundation years, are a...

    Production Question

    Lightwave was used for all seasons of B5, and I don’t think there is any evidence of Netter ever switching over to Maya, even for Crusade. The CG DOES start to look different toward the tail of B5 season 5. That look remains constant through the last 2 TNT movies and Crusade. But I believe...
