Re: Why the blacked out windows?
The windows are blacked out when the stunt driver is too visible, plain and simple. There's no other *fast* way to do it,and I stress fast because they have to shoot as much car as they can as fast as they can. The remote control unit is a separate device, and was in the fact the very same unit you ...

amen Phoenix, and yes, they would almost certainly invest in a jump car I think.

Re: The new turbo boosts
I would agree with many of the statements so far, turbo boost is one of those particular effects that is pretty hard to get looking any good in CG. You are quite correct that there was a goof, the logo is back on when the car goes back over. That shot was a last minute addition, we just missed it. T...

Re: LIve Discussion Thread - Knight Fever
to be fair, when the top rated show in the time slot gets a 3.2, 2.7 isn't bad at all. Comparing that number to other episodes isn't a fair comparison. Next Wednesday, however, will be a fair comparison.
very few people watch tv on News Years Eve (except the actual ball dropping).

Re: LIve Discussion Thread - Knight Fever
The movie "Shrek 2" put ABC on top at 8 p.m. with a modest 3.2/6. A "Bones" repeat on FOX earned a 2.8/5, edging NBC's "Knight Rider" (2.7/5). CBS was right behind, averaging 2.6/5 with repeats of "Old Christine" and "Gary Unmarried." The CW aired th...

Re: Episode 12: 'Knight to King's Rook' Spoilers
I'm under strict orders not to say anything about upcoming episodes.
I can say, however, that we're really busy over here making something upcoming in a future episode really, really damn cool, which is why we haven't been on the forums lately . . .

Re: Stunts-KR 2008
hey guys, resident VFX dude at Knight Rider. We'd love to do more stunts, its all a matter of cost. As the series goes on, and the costs can be amortized over more episodes, you'll see more stunt work done. CGI aint cheap, but its cheaper than destroying a Shelby GT500 Mustang

Re: Live Discussion Thread: Knight of the Iguana
Regarding the VFX: "1. The car just "disappears" before it hits KITT. Seriously, even a cheap CGI car flying into water would have been better than the disappearing act." Creatively the idea was to keep the audience guessing what happened to KITT. Was KITT blown to pieces? If we ...

The "Parking Lot Transform" REVISITED - From the KR VFX Team
Hey there, A colleauge of mine, z00story, has posted a couple of things from the vfx team here on the show, and I thought I'd post another version of what you guys already saw. As mentioned in z00's post, this was a *very* roughly composited and rendered shot just done as an effects test in our park...
