When vfx supervisor Gary Hutzel heard Battlestar Galactica was being revived, he wanted to be involved. “It’s probably the only sci-fi series that I can think of that would have the… staying power of Star Trek… It has all the elements of a classic sci-fi.” Too often in visual effects design the action happens, then the actors look and the editor cuts to the visual effect. Things are not smoothly integrated. Rymer wanted a documentary style. That was something Hutzel had wanted to do for a long time with vfx — to carry the story and create real environments that didn’t detract from a natural style. The success of Battlestar Galactica is largely due to the organic vfx created through the collaboration between Hutzel and the artists at Zoic Studios, guided by cg supervisor Lee Stringer and digital effects supervisor Emile Smith.
