There is plenty of time to have shoot live action in 1981 though. I haven't found anything about dates, but the effects shooting seems to have been done right at the last minute. http://www.universalhartland.com/code/hart00hs.shtml#behndscn "Another way that I learned at Universal Hartland was the quick turn-around once we started working on television. I literally might finish a model Thursday a few hours before we would gather in the screening room to watch that week's episode of Buck Rogers. The painter would paint the model on Friday and I would help finish any striping and paneling and aging Friday after the painter was ready to hand it back. The stage crew would shoot a test shot on Friday before leaving and shot the moves over the weekend and Monday. Optical would comp it on Tuesday and we would see it on TV Thursday night just after finishing models for next week's episode." It's a great site for anyone interested in models etc http://www.universalhartland.com/code/buck000m.shtmlReceived on 2019-04-01 14:00:03
