Michelle Comens, John Gajdecki, Bruce Woloshyn, Jinnie Pak, Tom Brydon, Jos‚ Burgos, Dan Mayer, and Wes Sargent received the Gemini Award for Best Visual Effects for their work on the spin-off series pilot episode, “Rising.” The twentieth annual awards were presented last month by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, recognizing the best in film and television production in Canada.
The two Stargate series earned a total of six nominations this year (story), including nods for Best Writing in a Dramatic Series (Martin Gero) and Best Achievement in Make-Up (Leah Ehman and Todd Masters). Four nominations came in the visual effects category, with “Rising” beating out “The Eye” and the SG-1 episodes “Lost City, Part 2” and “New Order, Part 1.”
