Talk:Zev (later Xev) Bellringer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I added these images of Eva Habermann and Xenia Seeberg, the two actresses that played Zev/Xev. The copyright has basically been given up to the public domain. Each of these was taken by our production photographer (yes, I was one of those involved with the making of the series) for DZ2 and DZ3 Productions —shell companies owned jointly by Salter Street Films [Canadian] and the TiMe Films [German]. SSF was later bought-out by Alliance Atlantis who would have acquired a share of the copyright. AA decided last year to shut down SSF, and though they still have some of the distribution rights for the series, it’s all too complicated to sort out. At any rate, the copyright for these two images (which are everywhere on the Net) is held by a company that doesn’t exist anymore. --OldCommentator 23:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh, an interesting design note: after Eva left us to take a series in Germany, we had to not only re-cast, but also re-design the character to explain the actress swap. Because we made Eva a seriously platinum blonde and we had put her in that little white chenille dress, we had a huge amount of what is called “bounce” from the greenscreen that we shot her against. This meant we were spending a fortune in post-production trying to fix it. (Parts of her would just dissappear.) Our solution, when Xenia was finally cast, was to go overboard in the other direction --we put her in a costume that was the exact chromatic opposite of green, and give her the reddest wig in either universe. Not as pretty, but a whole lot cheaper! --OldCommentator 23:55, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
