ATMOSPHERE WORKING ON UPCOMING 'BABYLON 5' RELEASE

VANCOUVER, BC - Atmosphere Visual Effects (http://atmosphere-vfx.com) is providing VFX for Babylon 5: The Lost Tales, a made-for-video movie produced by Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Television. Andrew Karr is serving as VFX supervisor on the project, titled “Voices in the Dark,” which will feature two new stories written and directed by the original creator of Babylon 5, executive producer J. Michael Straczynski.

The sci-fi adventure story follows events transpiring several years after the conclusion of the original story and will reunite TV cast stars Bruce Boxleitner (president John Sheridan), Tracy Scoggins (captain Elizabeth Lockley) and Peter Woodward (Galen).

Effects for the project ranged from CG backgrounds and environments to a 3D animated character and CG space action. Atmosphere is using NewTek LightWave for 3D animation, Eyeon Digital Fusion for compositing, Muster for render management and Apple Final Cut Pro for editing.

The title is scheduled for release in late July.
