On December 10th 2001, Mike Stetson (my old Roughnecks supervisor) asked me to join him and Jason Shulman at LA Studios in Burbank, for a Director's Commentary on this episode.  My "big scene" was the Autopsy Room segment with Rico, Dizzy, a dead Impostor Bug, & the Autopsy Bot and I got to talk about it briefly.  It will be interesting to see what gets removed from the final audio cut, since I commented about the fact that a lot of the original beautiful color (purples and bio-luminescent cyans) that Technical Director's such as Alex Carbonero sweated over to put into the show.  The desaturation was so bad in fact, that "Vector Squad" who wore grey power suits had made a cameo appearance in this episode, were almost indistinguishable from the normal green suited Roughnecks characters.  That much color was removed from the show for some unknown reason.  

At the end of the recording session, we were all given a complementary DVD of the Teska Campaign, which was pretty cool of Sony.  And no, you don't get paid to do director's commentaries for DVD's.

The good news is, that Sony has decided to release almost all of the Roughnecks CG series to DVD, internationally.  Look for "The Mission" and other episodes to be released early in 2002.  Hopefully this will spur me to finally post some of the anims, stills and commentaries for the rest of the shows I've worked on for this series...
