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."[3] Detwiler utilized latex modeling, computer graphics, and green screen work to manipulate visual effects shots for CSI.[4]
