Force of Life
SFX footage

SFX footage from the World Backgrounds library. The library contains many alternative takes and longer shots (sometimes including clapperboards). A few examples have appeared on the Network DVDs bonus disc, but many have never been seen. Episode shots are outlined in red, all other shots from the library.

Opening shot. Blue light appears after a few frames, at first static, and moves right over 10 seconds, camera holds for 4 more seconds. Second take repeats the action.

Final shot (the reverse of the opening). Starfield for 3 seconds, then blue streak moves from right to left. 15 seconds.

Opening title shot. Clapperboard slate 18, filmed 22 July 1974.
