But       the narrow subway car precluded using such lights, at least I would       think. In the flim, the lighting does look very natural, as with       the slight green tint from the fluorescent lights, and the darkness       when they were on battery power (that _had_ to be augmented).              As an aside, the movie showed the Command Center. The movie prop       radio console was very close in appearance to the real thing.       However, the Command Center itself was not--the movie one was more       attractive and the one in real life, which was very cramped.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
