I like the ingenuity that comes from shooting a scifi series with a shoestring budget.
“We need a spaceship. Let’s glue two hairdryers together and paint them!”
“What looks weird and bubbly? Bubblewrap looks weird and bubbly! We’ve got fifty yards of bubblewrap and a can of green spray paint, let’s make some aliens!”
“What time period should our time travellers visit? What time period did someone doing a historical drama just finish using the costumes for?”
“I’ve got some leftover tinsel rope from Christmas, but it kept falling off the door lintel and hanging over the opening. Which give me an idea.”
“We can’t afford to make a miniature shuttle land the miniature shuttle on a miniature landscape every week. Let’s give them… teleporters! We can shake some glitter in a jar of water and play that over the characters appearing wherever we like!”
I love how everyone’s seeing their favourite shows in this post, and I don’t mean to say, “No, I’m talking about this show.” But these are all actual things done by various shows and I thought I’d list off what I was talking about in each example. With pictures.
