please tell me you have the clip or the whole episode of Dina shrinking in Wicked Science
All the previously posted links are now dead, and the only version I could find is in French:

We had so much SW content on TV in the early 2000s : Wicked Science, Blake Holsey High, Charmed...

This is probably one of the best SW special effects in a made for TV series.

It's the practical set they made for this and the included near effects at the time.

The door looks old and abused, not pristine like in LOTG and many other sets. And the blending of the slamming cup and her ducking under the door is seamless.

It's details like that are missed but people just want to do it on computer. Or sets became a lost art.

Agreed, not only the blending is very well done (for a TV show with limited budget), but the practical effects give it a more natural look than just green screen CGI. Episode's script wasn't bad either, some fun dialogues ("Not a mouse... a rat!"), also loved that they bring a cage for her for the next day. I have to say the fact that Dina's shrinking is treated semi-seriously also helps, there's some elements of fear and the danger that she'll stay shrunk forever. Refreshing to see instead of it being used purely for comedy.

Yeah which is why this is a feat, it mixes what was done and what was gonna be the norm. Similar to Blake Holesy High to Gen V and I guess that SM Flash episode but I don't think that was really set based for that stuff.

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet but there's a brief bit of shrinking in the first episode of season 2 of Extraordinary, where a waiter shrinks the main girl down to get into a tiny restaurant. (Also a moment where here weird boyfriend looks in the tiny restaurant window at a couple of shrunk women dining.)

I don't know if there's more in the rest of the season as I've not finished it but I doubt it.

Thank you, good Sir. That has to be my 2nd favorite australian SW (after Dina in Wicked Science, of course).
please tell me you have the clip or the whole episode of Dina shrinking in Wicked Science
Quick question, where does your avatar come from? Looks familiar.
Don’t know, picked it up from google

Hey that's my channel! I just started it to post some SW videos. I could have sworn there used to be a thread on the Minkins on this very forum before. Add this to the mysterious list of vanishing forum threads.

I'll add more of my favourite scenes (including her SW "meltdown"), buy just FYI the entire show (mostly SM) is available on YT.

Yeah, that was me. Good to know the uploads are still up. Here's the playlist for anyone interested, since the orginal thread has gone missing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frGhIZ2 ... EO8TM6PZBk

Here's a playlist not uploaded by me from the TV show Return of the Antelope for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMGvIfZ ... NDqAl9-Hxh. I've only glanced at it so far. It seems to be all but one episode. One scene thats stood out to me so far is a cute scene at the start of Season 2 episode 5 involving a stroller. Watch and save while it's up, you never know what the copyright is like for these shows.

You returned! Yes I remember now, we even exchanged a few words on that thread. I remember saying how I liked that the female lead actually had a strong reaction to being shrunk! So rare for any shrinking episode to acknowledge it being a life-changing, traumatic experience. Wonder why the thread was purged out of existence? :?:
