Production GuideStoryboards
Production GuideSpecial effects storyboards for the episode Force Of Life.
Koenig orders Paul to cut the power, and in scene 74 we see the window lights go out. This must have been on the original storyboard. We actually see three different views, two of the big moonbase model, one of the large buildings.
Scene 88
Generating Area grows white hot.
Scene X6
White halation builds up to brilliant glow.
Zoref enters the reactor. The "R" on scene X6 indicates a replacement, which would have been scene 88 on the original storyboard. The explosion scenes (90 and 92) are not in the new storyboard, but the buildings and arrangement are very similar.
Scene 90
Small explosions thru roof of Generating Area
Scene 92
Bigger bang
Scene X7
Big bright blue meanie forms [fade in]
on top of gen section - moves slowly up and away
Scene 94
Alpha base + bang + comet
Scene X8
Alpha + big blue meanie moves away
Not marked as "R" replacement, although it is obviously the same shot.
Scene X10
Damage visible but lights come on
Scene X11
As 10 revamp. Lights come on
Only one of these shots is used.
Scene X9

Blue meanie moves away from Moon
Scene X12
Star backing. Blue meanie R-L away
Not in the storyboards, this shot matches the second shot of the episode. Obviously a late addition.

Final shot of episode, with the same star background as the opening shot.
