'''Zoic''', shorthand for [http://www.zoicstudios.com Zoic Studios], is responsible for the visual effects shots used in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' [[Miniseries]] and regular series.

Zoic was initially indirectly involved in the [[Tom DeSanto]] [[Continuation|continuation]] through one of Zoic's owners. While this project failed to get off the ground, Zoic were approached by series writer/producer [[Ronald D. Moore]] to handle the Miniseries, based on work both Zoic's Visual Effects Supervisors [[Emile Smith]] and [[Gary Hutzel]] had undertaken on ''Star Trek''.

When the [[Miniseries]] was given the greenlight for production, Smith was directly involved with Moore and [[Michael Rymer]], the series' director, in extensive pre-visualisations which determined the look and feel of the mini and the series itself. Hutzel acted as Zoic's Visual Effects Supervisor on the Miniseries.

The effects produced for ''Battlestar Galactica'' range from completely rendering all space vessels and backgrounds for the series through to digital extensions of the sets themselves, digitally melding live-action shots with digital backgrounds that enable the production to present the cavernous interiors expected on a vessel the size of ''[[Galactica]]'' (see right).

As a result of their work on the Miniseries, Zoic was awarded the 2004 Visual Effects Society's award for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Television Miniseries, Movie or a Special.

Zoic Studios is additionally responsible for many of the effects seen in Joss Whedon's ''Buffy: The Vampire Slayer'', ''Firefly'', and ''Angel''; Zoic is also involved in the effects for ''Serenity'', the movie continuation of the short-lived ''Firefly'' TV series.

Special effects credits include: ''CSI: Miami'', FOX's ''Tru Calling'' (starring ''Buffy'' regular Eliza Duskhu), ''Century City'', and UPN's short-lived remake of the ''Twilight Zone''. At this writing, they are working on the effects on the remake of the science fiction cult classic, ''Lost in Space''.

The Zoic personnel were apparently responsible for the insertion of ''Serenity'' (from Whedon's ''Firefly'' series). ''Serenity'' can be seen flying above Caprica City just prior to [[Laura Roslin]] learning of her terminal condition. ([[Miniseries]])

As something of a morbid joke, Zoic effects artists hid small barely noticeable hints of movement and activity inside the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'' during "[[33]]".

Zoic is likely responsible for the insertion of the original "USS Enterprise" from "Star Trek", seen at the upper right corner of the last glimpse of [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] near the conclusion of the [[Miniseries]]. This in-joke is in reference to [[Ronald D. Moore|Ron D. Moore]] and his history as a writer and producer for the latter "Star Trek" series of the 80's and 90's.

Zoic apparently released a list of names of several other battlestars supposedly built in the [[Colonial Fleet]]. This information may have come from the secretive and private [[Series bible]], available only to the cast and crew of the series. In any case, since these battlestar names cannot be verified and have not been mentioned in any episode of the Re-imagined Series, they are not considered [[canon]] and are not included in the Re-imagined battlestar-related articles on ''Battlestar Wiki'' at this time.
