On this show we're right down the hall from the director and the writers and can talk to them instantly about anything that's going on. It makes things a lot more collaborative and easier in terms of getting the look that's wanted for the effects." Detwiler utilized latex modeling, computer graphics, and green screen work to manipulate visual effects shots for CSI.{{cite news|title=A 'Scene' to be seen – 'Crime Scene Investigation' is as real as it gets – and here's how they do it |first=Rick |last=Kushman|date=April 10, 2003 |work=The Sacramento Bee|page=E1}}
