Sorry I have not been able to reply to your posts sooner, have been VERY BUSY on episodes six through nine.
In response to your questions "what do I do?".
I have worked in the art/ paint/ construction/ visual effects/ make-up/ set dec department since the start of the pilot, six years ago.
My job at SG1 is that of "graphics co-ordinator", although I am officially a member of the paint dept. my office is in the art dept.
My duties include the design of alien text, alien graphics, final technical dressing of props, maintaining continuity of the blast doors and door graphics in the SG complex, and any and all other graphicly dressed components that go into our show...from vehicle plates to uniform crests, both design and fabrication.
You have seen my work in virtually every episode of Stargate, although if I have done my job right you probably did not notice it.
Today I delivered a pile of tattoo stencils to Jan our head make-up technician, and got a phone call at home tonight to report to work a half hour early Wednesday morning because our director requested a lot more tattooed Jaffa extras at the last minute.
Its 10:00pm now, and I have to be at work at 6:30am and I live a one hour drive away from the studio.
I'm always tired, I'm always well fed, and I get a hell of a lot of satisfaction from what I do for a living, I could not imagine how awful it must be to work for a living* Good Night, Good Luck!
Jaffa Kree!
*someone once said "make your living doing something you enjoy, and you will never work a day in your life." - or something to that effect.
