How the creators of THE ORVILLE use a physical model to create their CG ship
When creating The Orville, Seth MacFarlane and his team wanted to use a physical model of the ship to provide a realism that can't currently be matched by straight CG. We asked Brooke Noska (VFX Producer / Co VFX Supervisor) and Tom Costantino (Co Producer) how it's done.

Unboxing The $400,000 THE ORVILLE Model Ship with Tom and Brooke
We asked Tom Costantino and Brooke Noska if we could see The Orville model used to shoot the show. It's absolutely astonishing. With the help of this model, they use sophisticated robotic motion capture cameras to allow them to capture realistic camera movement and give a real feel of the ship's physical space. Then, using CG, they detail the ship and place it in the virtual space to become the ship we all see on the show.

Tom Costantino and Brooke Noska join us from The Orville to talk about how the use of digital tech has revolutionized the process, and how they've even adapted some old tricks to pull off big effects.

THE ORVILLE - Backstage Tech and Huge Sets
We spoke with Tom Costantino and Brooke Noska from The Orville to see what kinds of interesting consumer tech has influenced their production workflow. It's no surprise that Apple tops the list, but it's impressive just how much Apple products such as the iPhone and iPad Mini have permeated the video production chain, and even the set of The Orville.

THE ORVILLE - Space Dramedy or Serious Sci-Fi
Before The Orville was released, we were originally confused: Was it going to be a Star Trek spoof? An outer space comedy? While it has some amazing comedic moments, there came a point in viewing The Orville where we all sat back and realized, my goodness - this is a SERIOUS sci-fi! We asked Tom Costantino and Brooke Noska if there was a moment like that for the people creating the show. What we found instead is that their plan worked perfectly and Seth MacFarlane has been excepted as a sci-fi genius.
