This is the last special effects storyboard for episode 22, Devil's Planet. There are 12 scenes on this board, the last of the 40 SFX shots for the episode. 5 of them are not drawn as they are continuations of previous shots. They are marked "Don't ignore me", to remind the SFX crew to film the shot with the previous set-up.
