Unfortunatel.......They did hire a geophysicist: me. Unfortunately, I was hired in the initial conceptual phase of "Can any geological substance be used for rapid carbon sequestration?" not in the final "Can you check our vocabulary usage?" phase.<br /><br />The use of consultants in the entertainment industry is a bit peculiar, and changes with the different phases of production:<br />1. Phase 1: The Idea. A consultant is potentially used in the initial phases of the idea. They're currently, usually selected by asking the Science and Entertainment Exchange, or possibly the local university, for an expert opinion. The consultant fees at this stage are usually nonexistent (ie, free volunteer ideas).<br />2. Phase 2: Writing. During writing, on-staff researchers fill out the details (like the 36% stat above; I have no idea what it's based on). The only consultants used during this period are pretty much friends & family of the writers or researchers; formal consultants very, very, very rarely used in this phase.<br />3. Phase 3: Filming. Very few shows bother to have a consultant during actual filming, although Stargate frequently did. If so, the consultant is typically paid, and is responsible for dealing with representations of science in props (things the actors touch), set decorations (things the actors stand in front of), and maybe give a few notes for future SFX. I frequently did this for Stargate, but not for this episode.<br /><br />Yes, Parker is the lone geologist in Stargate: Universe, and she choses to go adventuring into a new stargate instead of remaining with the team. She may or may not have died on that new planet; I personally vote that she found a world of stunning outcrops where it rained beer.Mikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786395768608873745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347453000238686502.post-15021556217850201132012-09-23T10:48:13.994-07:002012-09-23T10:48:13.994-07:00Maybe they'll hire you/a geologist to give the...Maybe they'll hire you/a geologist to give them some pointers... consultant fees are good!!
