... Joseph Mallozzi: "“And now I’m working on the opening teaser of what will be my last episode this year. It’s called The Hunt and it’s going to air as number 16. In it, we go off-world, and two of our people go missing, so it then turns into a rescue op. Although it’s called The Hunt, because obviously there’s a ‘hunt’ element to it, there are other things going on in the story. One is this sort of debate about the potential intelligence of animals and whether it’s right to kill them. There’s also this other [story] element involving one of our characters and something he or she experienced in an earlier episode. This has an impact on their response to a situation in The Hunt and they have to come to terms with it.
While all this is happening on the planet, back on Destiny, Rush, Brody and Eli make another significant discovery. Season two is fraught with discovery, and, again, very early on we came across a key part of this ship, and then in this episode we find something else that is going to play into our season finale.
Production-wise, I think The Hunt will probably be the most challenging of the three I’ve written this season just because we go off-world, which means we’ll be going on-location, and we have to find the right location. So far we’ve steered clear of forested planets. We did visit one last year in Faith, but since then we haven’t really done anything like that. We visited a desert planet this season in Malice; those scenes were shot down in New Mexico and the episode looks stunning. We want The Hunt to look just as unique, which means we’ll probably be going a little bit out of the way for a location, although still in British Columbia. So that should be interesting...”

... Anyway, Mark swung by my office yesterday morning to show me, among other things, an early version of the creature cam/pov for my episode, The Hunt.
Creature Cam - The Hunt
... Mark was suggesting desaturating it a little to give it a more alien feel, but I kind of like the sharpness of the colors and the rainbowing effect on the edges of the tunnel vision.
