The Nevers Podcast

Johnny Han is a visual effects artist and is currently serving as the visual effects supervisor on The Nevers. Johnny has a range of experience in television and film, and his credits include Smallville, Supernatural, Spider-Man 3, Heroes, Pacific Rim, and Lost in Oz.

We chat with Johnny about how he got his start in the business, what his job as a visual effects supervisor on The Nevers entails, and learn the differences between visual effects and special effects. We discuss the working relationship between the VFX and special effects and stunt department, the creative genius that is Joss Whedon, envisioning set pieces and recruiting VFX companies for the series. He shares the pandemic's impact on the VFX business and the challenges of filming during COVID. We discuss filming the now-famous water fight, the challenges of such an ambitious sequence, creating the Primrose character, working on The Nevers with cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, the difficulties involved in designing the Galanthi, advice for VFX artists starting out and much more. Johnny also promises an exciting second half of the season!

The Nevers Podcast talks with multiple Emmy and BAFTA award-winning costume designer Michele Clapton (The Nevers, Game of Thrones, The Crown, Mamma Mia, The Devil's Whore.)

During our talk with Michele, we discussed her preference for designing period, future and fantasy costumes, being mindful of the silhouette and shape of a design, and her previous career as a fashion designer & stylist and the misconception of fashion being glamorous. She shares how she got involved in The Nevers, taking over for costume designer Jane Petrie and the challenges of designing for a sci-fi series like The Nevers and avoiding making it look too steampunk. She tells us about working with actress Amy Manson and the evolution of Maladie's outfits throughout the first half of season one, and shares with us why after she probably won't design for television again once she's finished on The Nevers. We also cover renting clothes versus making them, working with actors, doing period projects, and more!

In this episode of In Conversation With... we had the honor of interviewing SETI Institute Senior Astronomer Dr. Seth Shostak. We start with the mission of the Institute and his history working at SETI. We then consider the feasibility of an alien race visiting earth to save humanity from itself (à la the Galanthi in The Nevers) and if wormholes (portals) would be the likely transportation of choice. We also discuss the methods that the SETI Institute is currently using to search for extraterrestrial intelligence and his colleagues' research into extremophiles. We also pick Seth's brain about whether or not time travel, as seen in The Nevers, is possible. He also shares the importance of pop culture in science dissemination and how he got his start working as a scientific consultant for films such as Contact, Battleship, Species 2 and the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Visit seti.org to learn more about the work that Seth and his colleagues at the SETI Institute are doing in their search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
