l'm gonna take you through the circus at Bridge Studios.
Walking along, walking along, singing a song...
Hi, everybody.
- Michael, you're needed in this interview. - (MichaeI) OK.
l wanna come in.
See, this is something we don't get a lot at Stargate SG-1.
We get a lot of stuff. You get to see us shooting and stuff.
You get to look behind the scenes. That's what this tape is about -
to show you what lies behind the scenes at Stargate SG-1.
But what you don't get to see, and what very few people get to see,
is behind the scenes of behind the scenes!
See? You can't get enough of this!
This is so far behind the scenes, we're almost back in the scene.
That's behind the scenes.
(woman) Michael Shanks in the interview hot seat!
Ow! My bum!
Come on. This way.
Enough running. Someone could get hurt.
That camera!
Daniel, would you like to stick around here for while?
Yes, sir. l'd like that very much.
Fine. The rest of us'll pair off.
Teal'c, you're with Zukhov. Carter with Tolinev. Major, you're with me.
Fine. The rest of us will pair off.
Teal'c, you're with Zukhov.
(Iaughter)
Carter, you're with Tolinev.
Where are you?
You're with Tolinev, and Major, you're with me.
Yes, sir.
(Iaughter)
l'll take you on a little tour of our new set. Let's adjust to the dark lighting in here.
lt's very dark. This is what the space field looks like.
This is the space station in ''Summit'' and ''Last Stand'' in the year 2001 .
This is Gisler, who's done her hair special today.
She's our trainee assistant director.
This is John Smith, our line producer.
- Hi, Amanda. - Hi, Michael.
Amanda, our script supervisor, is doing her best to avoid the camera.
Martin does our boom. He holds the microphone above our heads.
Beverley, our assistant wardrobe and chief getter of various drinks, apparently.
So, carrying on...
Carrying on, there's Bill Mizel, chief slave-driver and whip-cracker here.
He's our first AD, just to keep everything moving.
- Nice costume! - Thanks very much.
DanieI Jackson.
You're a rather Iong way from home, aren't you?
This is the space station. lt's very similar to a lot of other space stations we have.
We're just going on a little tour behind the stage.
As you can see, somehow, in some way, the director and the DOP
make these spaces look so much bigger than they actually are.
Oh, let's check out this! This is really cool.
This is the Goa'uld vat, where they take the symbiotes from,
as you can tell by the detail.
''Gee, what's in the vat?'' ''l don't know.''
This is where the System Lords meet, in this grand hall,
and we're doing a close-up over here.
This has gone on Iong enough.
We must determine who is responsibIe for these attacks.
The coward refuses to show himseIf.
He onIy strikes with his ships, never with ground troops.
Have none of you seen the faces of the enemy Jaffa?
This is Kyle, my stand-in, the stand-in for Daniel.
And this is the stand-in for Yu. l'm not sure of this gentleman's name.
Kyle's hiding. Kyle, get back out here!
Everybody's setting up. This is in-between setups.
When they say the filming process seems to take so long, this is why.
And he's the man responsible for all that. That's Pete Woeste.
This is what it looks like to have the cameras staring at you.
Ooh! Aah!
You can see outside of the space station, there's that massive field of stars.
lt's actually a massive field of sequins sewn into this curtain.
lt's unbelievable how they make it look but, in actuality,
all those little cardboard sets that you made for your little plays at home,
and you asked your mom to make that so you could put your back-yard play on,
that's exactly what that is.
Other things cost a little bit more, but that's what we do here. Same old tricks.
- Picture's up. - (MichaeI) OK. Gotcha.
Picture's up, pyjama boy.
- l gotta go back to work. - And... action!
Today wiII henceforth be known
as the day the bIood of the Tok'ra ran free,
and their rebeIIion ended for good.
l really wanna meet some of our players in this, just to give you a closer look.
So l'll take you back through where we came from.
That's it. There's not much more than that
in terms of pieces to this set.
That's the entire space station.
Our guys do a really good job of making it look at lot bigger than it actually does.
This is Vince who plays Yu.
Yes, not ''me'', he plays Yu.
Vince, these are a few of the closest fans of Stargate who are watching on DVD.
This is Vince, he plays Yu.
Hi, everyone.
Aric kree Onak.
Nis trah Jarren.
I am your IoyaI servant Jarren.
Rise.
This is Anne-Louise Plowman, who plays Sarah/Osiris on the series.
What are you doing here?
What, me? Right now? Nothing. Why? You have something in mind?
- How are you? - l'm fine, sweetheart. How are you?
These are a few of my closest friends for the DVD release of the series on the disc.
lt's gonna include a behind-the-scenes commentary
from members of the cast and otherwise.
So probably portions of this will appear on the DVD release,
so say something witty.
- l really hope you're joking. - l'll come back.
- l'm not joking. l love you very much. - Go away!
TeII me what subversions you are a part of,
or I wiII bIeed you dry.
There's Su. She's playing Kali.
''l'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali.''
''l'm going back to Cali. l don't think so.''
Hi.
And he's playing Olokun.
l couldn't pronounce your name with a spatula.
- How do you pronounce your name? - Kwesi.
Kwesi. Playing Olokun.
There's Cliff. Cliff is playing Baal.
And this is Natasha.
There she goes. Now she's camera-shy.
l want you to say a few words to the people.
Nothing witty. l want to ask you some questions.
- You're originally from New Zealand? - l am.
- And you're living in Great Britain. - l am.
- l don't know where you live. - l live everywhere.
She hangs her hat in just about every corner of the Western world.
What drew... Oh, God, l can't even ask that question.
What drew you to the part... Don't answer that.
What drew you to Stargate? No, don't answer that.
Hey, so what's your favourite colour?
My favourite colour is red at the moment.
(MichaeI Iaughs)
At the moment. l've just gotta show you this because...
Oh, goodness. She's whipping out a...
a... a...
These are what they give us, to get that cleavage.
They're not real. None of them are real.
(MichaeI) Let's get a close-up of that. As you can tell...
- (Anne-Louise) l've really ruined it... - Only au natureI on Stargate SG-1.
lf you've wondered what the special effects are...
- lt's this. - That's where the budget is spent.
You are a doll.
- (MichaeI) Mwah! - Thanks, darling.
These are the beautiful ladies of Stargate that you'll be seeing on camera.
They're Yu's babes.
So now l gotta go to work, so you can watch it now on the actual show.
Cut to actual show.
I am Lord Yu's servant. This is my master's quarters.
You have the wrong room. I've gotten Iost myseIf. These quarters aII Iook the same.
That was so bad. l don't think l've ever seen you do one as bad.
No, l did. l did a couple of others as well.
Most of them were the fourth season. There was the third season too.
The third season. l remember that time. That's the only time l've thrown up on set.
Try to make it better cos a lot of people here
have a lot of hopes and dreams in you.
l guess that pretty much wraps up
your behind-the-scenes tour of ''Summit'' and ''Last Stand''.
You've seen all the System Lords, all the set,
all the crew, and everything in its glory.
- DanieI, how's it goin'? - It's kinda Iike Goa'uIdan Mardi Gras.
