Matter Of Life And Death

SFX footage from the World Backgrounds library. The library contains many alternative takes and longer shots (sometimes including clapperboards). A few examples have appeared on the Network DVDs bonus disc, but many have never been seen. Episode shots are outlined in red, all other shots from the library.

Terra Nova as seen from space. 20 seconds. Used on Main Mission Big Screen

Two static shots of the Terra Nova landscape, with misty swamp. Not seen in episode (possibly after the storm). Each 15 seconds.

Where the Eagle stood, a fire burns (not a very convincing large flame). After 20 seconds it starts issuing white smoke. A long 35 second take, not seen in the episode (we see the Eagle explode).

Planet surface- static for 10 seconds until dust storm arrives from right, then carries on for 37 seconds. A longer different version to that seen in the episode.

In the storm - 47 seconds, part of which is seen in episode
