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

It's the practical set they made for this and the included near effects at the time.DocRick wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 2:29 pmThis is probably one of the best SW special effects in a made for TV series.foreverlurk wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 1:42 pmAll the previously posted links are now dead, and the only version I could find is in French:

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.eddiegiantman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 3:52 pm

It's details like that are missed but people just want to do it on computer. Or sets became a lost art.DocRick wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 3:58 pmThe door looks old and abused, not pristine like in LOTG and many other sets.

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.eddiegiantman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 3:52 pmIt's the practical set they made for this and the included near effects at the time.
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.foreverlurk wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 5:48 pmAgreed, 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.

Thank you, good Sir. That has to be my 2nd favorite australian SW (after Dina in Wicked Science, of course).
