The Production GuideScript To Screen: Dorzak
by Martin Willey
The Production Guide
Wednesday 3rd November was the second day of shooting. Scenes filmed include when Sahala meets Maya and shoots her, and when "Sahala" holds Helena hostage and makes her demands.
Most Command Center scenes had been shot on the previous day, but they returned to the set for scenes 51 and 54 when Dorzak visits them and Sahala ("Maya", on the video screen) makes her demands.
It also includes the scene described in Dorzak's quarters when Maya brings Dorzak a tray of food and demonstrates her metamorphic powers. As scripted and filmed, Maya transforms into a guinea pig with spots and a gorilla. The gorilla suit was cut from the final episode (see the script page.)
