What did the creative team of “Big Bang theory” – and Simon Helberg himself – think about the newly created international space station? It doesn’t surprise you loved it. In Jessica Radloffs Oral History 2022 “The Big Bang Theory: The final, in the history of the epic hit series”, “Creator and” Mega showrunner Chuck LorreThe co-creator of Lorre, Bill Prady, Helberg, and director Mark Cendrowski, discussed the production of Howard’s space episodes and shared their own unique challenges.
As Prady put it, Lorre was in the space idea and luckily Prady had recently met a high -ranking administrator at NASA called Lori Garver, who had included Mike Massimaino. (The crew liked Massimino so much that she obviously wrote a part for him.) In the end, Prady just wanted to look good: “My feeling was that if they were a scientist or astronaut, the standard I wanted to not throw their shoes on the television. and take the time and do it right. “)
For his part, Cendrowski had to find out how to film the “weightlessness” and make them look real: “I asked to put the cameras on a gyroscope so that they hovered and they had a constant feeling of movement.” After finding out that they had to turn some pictures around, everything came out smoothly. “It was a great puzzle to find out, and as soon as we did it, it looked great,” said Cendrowski. “People thought we used the ‘Apollo 13’ plane to film it. We said: ‘Oh, we deceived them.”
“The show always has 100 percent authentic and exactly suitable, and the Space storyline was a very important piece for it,” added Helberg. “The only CGI stuff you really did was with a pen that float away, but everything else was just a practical effect.” The scenes came out very well and you can now look at Max, where the entire series streams.
