Becoming Half Alien on Stargate SG-1
Being part of a sci-fi TV series was fun - even it was only as half human, grunt security guard. Having spent many years in Vancouver, I know how important the film and TV business is.
Spending some time on set was something that I wanted to do for a while so that I could learn more about production, camera work and editing.
As it turned out, I learned a lot about patience and not much about production. However, it was still a very fun experience to be on a few show and I did learn a few things about camera work.
Stargate SG-1’s production involves a ton of post-production editing for special effects and sound that you don’t see on set.
This particular episode that I was on filmed in Vancouver during the early spring. The show aired months later as Episode 8 in Season 7.
If you’re interested in the full screenplay of this particular episode, you can download it from MGM’s site here.
I was scheduled to be on set for the whole day… and I mean the WHOLE DAY.
My call time was 5:10 am. This means that I had to be ready for make up about 30 minutes later. I had my own trailer room to get changed in and store my belongings.
