If I\u2019m doing a cutaway and showing the interior spaces of a ship, I try and give it the same evocative lighting that you see in the film or the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-284521\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"a close up of a highly detailed diagram of a hallway in a spaceship\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250425_181937084.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL.jpeg\"\/>Credit: John R Mullaney <\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Building Bigger Worlds\u2019 sci-fi art exhibition was recently extended and will <strong>finish on May 17<\/strong>.
