STARGATE ATLANTIS: The Complete Fourth Season On DVD

An acclaimed cast that includes Joe Flanigan, David Hewlett, Rachel Luttrell, Jason Momoa and Amanda Tapping returns for season four of STARGATE ATLANTIS series on the Sci Fi Channel. Colonel Samantha Carter (Tapping) takes charge as the city's new leader, facing new and daunting challenges, including joining forces with the dangerous Wraith in order to fight a common enemy -- the seemingly unstoppable Replicators.

The show's vfx are from Atmosphere Visual Effects, Rainmaker Digital Pictures, SPIN West VFX and Zoic Studios.

Raising the bar on both the creative and technical sides of things is a major part of the season-to-season transition for Rainmaker's work on STARGATE ATLANTIS.

"We try to update not just the efficiency in actually creating the content, but also the creative content so each year you're pushing the boundaries not just for the quality of the end product, but also for our own entertainment purposes," said Debora Dunphy, digital effects supervisor and lead artist on the series. "It keeps us wanting to keep producing something that is of higher quality for us as artists, so we can be proud of our work."

Off-season tasks include going through models that are likely to be re-used in the upcoming season and optimizing them so they are easier to work with and look better.
