conditions, the set was constructed in a studio which could be refrigerated. Stunt coordinator Dan Shea choreographed one of the key fight scenes between Tony Amendola's character Bra'tac and the Jaffa double agent Ronan, portrayed by Marc Worden. The fight was shot from multiple camera angles simultaneously, with Dan Shea operating one of the steadicams in order to best capture the movements of the actors. Due to running out of time, one of the scenes in the Stargate Command briefing room had to be shot with four cameras shooting simultaneously. Post-production The first cut of the episode was nineteen minutes over the required length. Most of the scenes that were shot were kept in, with Robert C. Cooper and Martin Wood mostly relying on trimming scenes down. One of the scenes that was entirely cut involved President Henry Hayes (William Devane) taping his address to the American people, revealing the impending Goa'uld attack and making the Stargate program public. Other scenes, such as the team drinking at O'Neill's house, a scene in the cafeteria, Bra-tac and Ronan's fight and the build up to Hammond taking Prometheus into battle were all trimmed down. Show composer Joel Goldsmith had no additional time to create his score, completing the bulk of it in just two weeks. A number of the motifs in the episode were later drawn and expanded upon for Stargate Atlantis' score, which followed on from the events of "Lost City". The volume of visual effects meant splitting the work between Rainmaker Digital Effects, Image Engine and GVFX. Digital effects supervisor Bruce Woloshyn described the episodes visual effects as being the biggest and most ambitious on Stargate SG-1 to date. Rainmaker and Image Engine collaborated on the Death Glider air assault scenes from the first part of "Lost City". Other sequences such as Anubis' super-soldiers killing Jaffa and later engaging SG-1, the lava Ancient Outpost planet, Anubis' face and the freezing of O'Neill were handled by Rainmaker. Image Engine were responsible for creating Antarctica and the battle between Earth's forces including Prometheus, the F-302 fighters and Anubis' fleet. GVFX created some of the smaller shots, such as the ring-transporters. The team at Rainmaker delivered their completed effects at the end of November 2003. The cargo ship fight scene between Bra'tac and Ronan was originally supposed to lead to a visual effects sequence involving the out-of-control cargo Ship colliding with the dome
