This post contains spoilers for "Stargat SG-1".

The Athonian Glasser and Brad Wright's "Stargate SG-1" is loved for the reason. Except Breathing new life in Roland Emerich's party, imperfect tremors in 1994 Stargat has developed the 10-season series in a prestigious scientific franchise with a complex orub. Since "SG-1" is a space adventure, it was natural for the series to jump quite often, as the title team would have to travel to distant planets as part of their Earth Protection Mission. From a logistical point of view, the series had to be shot at locations offering aesthetic variety; Unfortunately, a limited budget meant the shooting was reduced to two key locations, namely Colorado and Vancouver.

To better understand the decision to shoot these locations, we need a refresher on the show's premise. Most internal scenes take place in the Stargat command, the military base that offers support-related team-based support, including SG-1. Since the interiors of this base remain uniform during the series, it makes sense that they were filmed at the Bridge studio in Vancouver. After all, indoor sets are much easier to change and control, as they do not pose the same risk of unpredictability as external locations (in this case, British Columbia forests were a challenge to navigate). Also, because the SG-1 crew mostly visited foreign planets throughout the series, The same external locations were supposed to be dressed to simulate different worlds - Creative venture that gave mixed results as the series progressed.

We should also keep in mind that SG-1 is a recorded way before the volume of volume, which, to simplify, is a screen screen technology that provides digital backgrounds, synchronized with the camera to offer an illusion of distance and depth. Since every block of World building "SG-1" had to be built with a mixture of practical solutions and limited CGI, it became gradually difficult to maintain things visually fresh. Let's dig deeper at the Colorado and Vancouver premises, used in the series, and why the filming proved to be a challenge for "Stargat SG-1".

All external footage of Starghat's command was filmed at the Colorado Mountain Air Force station, as the fictional structure should cause a sense of military secrecy. The other outdoor scenes were mostly shot in Vancouver, and everything from Kalana (planet in the Milky Way) to Apophis falls into the area. For example, former Richmond Sand dunes served as a valuable location for the desert scenes, including the display of the Torko base in Season 2, and even 3000 BC. Giza (yes, "SG-1" struggles at the time of trip much more than you expected) in the 8 season season.

These huge, empty desert exteriors could be renovated according to the development of the orbus, and everything that seemed too similar could be camouflaged with the help of art centrical arcs that attract our attention from paying too much attention to the environment. Real hospitals and residential buildings in Vancouver were also used extensively to advance in the conspiracy, along with public structures such as the Bloedel Conservatory (shown strongly in the episode, "The Gamekeeper") or the Vancouver Art Gallery (whose exterior shots were used).

If you were able to draw visual similarities between two different locations in the series, it is probably because the same location was restored to serve as a background on more than one occasion. A good example would be an emphasis in Barnabi, which was reconstructed at different times for different scenes, including the motel hidden in "affinity", Vala's hotel room in "Memento Mori", and the Hotel of Senator Kinsey (where he was shot in "Chad and Mirors").

Other significant locations of Vancouver include Jererehio's beach, beach sunset park, Western Tower Palisades and a mountain cemetery, which are grown as repeated backgrounds during the seasons (and are quite easy to notice if you are familiar with these places in real life).

The use of 3D wallpapers to simulate real -world premises will always be fundamentally different from the location shooting. "SG-1" has accepted the tip of the latter with a great dense, but maintaining this creative string has become a challenge over 10 seasons. The fact that the series usually has a new location in each episode, of course, has not helped things, as the scope of the world's inter -ghalactic building has been looking for new landscapes, structures and expectations around the undiscovered corners of the galaxy.

Lin Smith and N. Johnon Smith, who oversaw the location related during the production of Stargat SG-1, said Gate For multiple editions that appeared while filming at the site. This included understanding a way to shoot night scenes during the day and ensure that controlled explosions during filming did not uncomfortable the inconvenience of recording. Lynn Smith explained the nuances of the second detail:

"Much of our show was firearms and explosions. It was the hard part, because you had to get (city) blessing. If we go to Duni, it's me to talk to the tower of the airport for flights. And believe it or not, yes, sometimes they would work in our favor (...).

At one point, SG-1 was filmed at the same time as Stargat Atlantis, allowing the location crew to use the best use of shared sound stages and indoor sets, which will be effectively changed to serve the appropriate shows. But this also meant permanent and back with two separate writing teams and Accommodation of any changes in the last minute (which will take place in every busy production) while working around the clock. N. Johnon Smith, who also served as an executive producer of SG-1, talked about the risk of crew in the absence of regular hours:

"The secret to making a series as it is to keep the classes regularly. We would push calls (up to a certain hour of the day), but we have made a lot of exteriors and interiors. We have built sets because what kills the crew comes out in the summer (...) so you would set your night.

Despite these challenges, what resulted in a drop in quality genres with the passage of time"Stargat SG-1" managed to impress the audience with their exciting stories. All glittering flaws can be overlooked, as several long -term scientific shows were able to achieve so much with so little.
