Production GuideSpecial effects art for the episode Dragon's Domain.
This is the second page of the SFX script for Dragon's Domain, scenes 28 to 36, as the Ultra Probe leaves Earth, arrives at Ultra and first encounters the spaceship graveyard. Brian notes the planet Ultra will be "pink and green". He notes the movement is R-L, right to left, throughout. The first graveyard shot may be rough, but it clearly includes Arra's shuttle and the Alpha Child battlecruiser.
On the reverse of this page, Brian has sketched how the Ultra Probe command module will separate from the main body.
