Ebert's File/Interesting Stuff

The below info was taken from posts made to the scifi.com Bboard made

by Eberts (Mike McCafferty) and Sardon (Greg Tsadilas- VFX Supervisor/Animator on IM).

So when "I" appears in the posts, its Eberts or Sardon speaking not me.

And all of the Eberts files are in order of episodes aired.

The Interesting Stuff that doesn't fit with Eberts posts.
***

PILOT

* The pilot was shot in August of 1999 in San Diego and Tijuana. The other episodes began to be filmed in April of

2000 (in and around San Diego, CA as far as I know).

* The first day of shooting was in the Official's office. The office was located on the third and fifth floors of the

Spreckles Building in San Diego.

* Matt Greenburg (writer/exec-producer of IM) has a cameo in the Lab scene (the scene where Darien steals a pen

from him to escape the shackles).

* Fohn (as in Arnauld De Fohn) really does mean Savage Alpine Wind and Hairdryer. Matt Greenburg

(writer/exec-producer of IM) discovered this double meaning during his research.

THE CATEVARI

* For the VCR-hounds, in the last scene is a picture on The Official's desk. Not sure if you can make it out clearly,

but it is a interesting picture of The Official. It was to be used this episode but won't make an appearance until

much later.

* The fish tank in the Keeper's Keep (seen in the last shot) has three real piranhas. Also in the Keeper's Keep is a

tank with about 4 or 5 scorpions, one with a chameleon, one with a lizard, one with an albino snake, another

with a boa constrictor, another snake and crickets to nourish some of the beasties.

RALPH

* It wasn't shown in Ralph, but the Agency used a slide projector circa 1978 (for the slide show). In fact, most

everything in the office is outdated or out of stock. Except post-it notes.......

* Originally, the bird killed was to be a spotted owl.

* Hobbes had a funny ad-lib about knowing one of the women in the slide show.

* The Official's Badge number is 7071.
