STARGATE Director Martin Wood Cut This Table In Half (Dial the Gate)

DIRECTING STARGATE SG-1 brought plenty of fun challenges for Martin Wood, who racked up a whopping 47 episodes of the show over ten years. But he says that one of the toughest wasn't blowing things up in a season finale, or dealing with tricky gravity in "Abyss," or enduring freezing temperatures in "Solitudes." It was finding interesting ways to start those briefing room scenes in episode after episode after episode.

In this conversation with "Dial the Gate," Martin talks about what he did to make these scenes more visually interesting ... and more challenging for the crew!

GATEWORLD DID SOME DIGGING and found the scene that Martin was remembering: it's actually in Season 7's "Avenger 2.0," when Hammond, Carter, and Dr. Jay Felger enter the briefing room from the adjoining corridor. The cameraman moves through the table and back around, showing the full table (and props master Kenny Gibbs in uniform in the background). Look for it in the episode around the 05:00 mark.

There is another trick shot with the split table in the episode "Fallout" (pictured in the video thumbnail): the camera rises up seemingly through the middle of the table, only to pull back and reveal the full table in place. That's at 00:34 into the episode.

This clip is from Dial the Gate's full-length, hour-long conversation with Martin. Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Xm8JKsmYQ
