Part 3/8:
The filming involved transforming various parts of the warships to resemble a sci-fi environment suitable for the series. This process included creating grotesque and chilling visuals of the ships, both from shots taken in the Fraser River and interior scenes from within the vessels. The narrator provides vivid descriptions of the set dressing, lighting, and effects that contributed to the overall atmosphere.
Key Locations on the Ship
- Operations Room (OPS): This central command area was crucial for filming scenes where characters like Mulder and Scully would investigate ship functions. The set composed of telephones, sonar gear, and control panels actualized from real naval equipment, some of which was repurposed from other ship areas like the gun room, to give authenticity.
