Beyond CSI: Inside Anthony Zuiker's New Cross-Platform Experiment

Beyond CSI: Inside Anthony Zuiker's New Cross-Platform Experiment
A Man crouches on a 3-foot-by-3-foot glass-top table in a dank basement near the Los Angeles River, just outside of downtown L.A. The man is a contortionist. He's wearing a skintight, hooded latex body condom, bone white, zipped up the back to the top of his head, with holes for his eyes and a zipper over his mouth.
He nonchalantly folds a leg behind his neck and scratches his head with his toes. Next to him is a gallon jar of snails, and on a table, a pile of salt has been cut into lines in the shape of a maze. With a razor blade, the contortionist scrapes the glass clean between the lines, then deposits a snail in the center.
Snails disintegrate in salt, of course, so the dozen or so people watching this scene on a monitor in the next room lean forward, rapt. The contortionist sets his featureless face inches from the glass and tries to coax the creature forward. The snail begins to move, ever so slightly, closer to a wall of salt, and ... stops. No payoff. No spectacular death melt, no triumphant exit from the maze.
"Cut!" Anthony E. Zuiker, the creator and director of this scene, is not happy. "Guys," he yells from the adjoining room, "for the 5,000th time, a dry snail will not move. Please. Dip another snail in shallow water, put him in the hero position, and let's try this again. I've got an actor with his feet behind his neck. Let's get the shot and move on!"
Zuiker is the creator of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, one of the most-watched television franchises in history. Since its launch in 2000, the original CSI or one of its CBS spin-offs -- CSI: Miami and CSI: NY -- has been among the top-rated shows in the United States. There have been almost 500 episodes, airing in nearly 200 countries. As many as 75 million people watch an episode every week. Yet if CSI has become known as a moneymaking machine -- the show has generated an estimated $6 billion in revenue -- it has also defined a signature visual style: supersaturated colors, graphic violence, surprising camera angles, and uncomfortable close-ups. All of which are on display today. Red light washes through the warehouse, a smoke machine hisses a sinister cloud every few minutes, and torture instruments lay scattered about the set.
Head over to Fast Company to read the full story, watch exclusive videos of Anthony directing the cyber-bridges… and to get a peek at just how flexible Sqweegel truly is!
