Video Podcast: Battlestar Galactica

Atmosphere Visual Effects was honored at the Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards this year for its work on the Sci Fi Channel series Battlestar Galactica. This latest prize was for the "Exodus" episode in season three, which featured a spectacular space battle realized at Atmosphere’s studio in Vancouver, Canada.

The sequence includes a vertigo-inducing fall from the sky, and dazzling choreography of missiles and explosions as the spaceship Pegasus is blown apart. It’s a sequence that required exceptional give-and-take between the Atmosphere compositing team led by recent VES winner Brenda Campbell, and the CG team led by Andrew Karr (a VES winner last year for Battlestar.)
