production values for XI

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Because I'm also a general sci-fi nerd and a longtime RD fan, I'm pretty impressed with the production values of Series XI. The look is filmic (so was the last series, to some extent; is Doug still using the RED camera?) and so far it feels like there are more sets than X was able to offer.

Any comments on the look of the new series? Sets, lighting, props, FX, costuming - generally just the look and tech of the series?

Oh yes, of course. So who's writing the fic where it turns out Holtzmann was brought up by her grandmother Big Bang Beryl and her lover Harmony? ;)

I'm joking - I still haven't seen it, so I don't know what Holtzmann's upbringing was like. :)

That's not a bad crossover. There's literally no background on Holtzmann other than some education and a mentor (Sigourney Weaver as a possibly saner, sexier Doc Brown). So it's wide open right now ...
