To illustrate a poignant scene in the episode (infobox). "Piper Maru" introduced the Black Oil, which would later go on to play a much larger role in the series. The on-screen appearances of the black oil was achieved through visual effects, with the shimmering oil effect being digitally placed over the actors' corneas in post-production. The crew went through various iterations to find the two "right" types of fluids. According to physical effects crewman David Gauthier, they used a mix of oil and acetone, which he believed gave the substance a more globular look. Special effects technician Mat Beck was able to digitally bend the oil effect around the shape of the actors' eyes. Thus, the inclusion of this image helps readers understand the process as well as the final product, of the oil effect. |
