Star Trek: Voyager’s best special effect is almost disappointing

Star Trek: Travel It has many special effects, but you could say nothing is more impressive than when the ship landed on a planet in the first episode of the 2 “The 37’s season.” This is the first for franchise, reviving one of the ideas of Gene Roddenberry which he previously considered too expensive to show on the screen. However, this effect is almost disappointing thanks to the production problem behind the scenes, including landing struts that are designed incorrectly and the CGI model is too small.

This Voyager The special effect is one that has been dreamed of by the team for a long time … For example, the graphics designer of Michael Okuda’s previous franchise recommended that the executive producer Rick man explained that this ship must be able to land as a way to distinguish it from what came before. Thus, Rick Sternbach has developed several possible ship design that will accommodate landing capabilities, and he ensures that the completed design displays small palka in the lower hull which is intended to accommodate landing equipment. However, only after designing the struts, the manufacturer realized that the ship’s “feet” looked too thin to support his body.

Voyager Landing shot on a planet in “The 37” is intended to be a special and wasted special effect, and producers are worried that viewers will be disappointed if it looks like a ship that always spends foot day. In the great tradition of television, they decided to fix this problem in post-production … in this case, by placing stone outcrops and other soil features strategically around Voyager when landing. Return and watch the episode, and you will see how they effectively obscure the audience’s view of the tiny landing struts.

However, that is not the only problem VoyagerSpecial effects that are luxurious … Apparently, digital artists of the event accidentally make the CGI model from the ship too small. This disturbing visual effect supervisor Ronald B. Moore (don’t be confused with the writer of the trip and Battlestar Galactica Reboot Showrunner Ronald D. Moore), who was disappointed with the landing effect because the “scale of the perpetrators of release on the ground was not true.” However, he did not feel that the audience would always pay attention to “because no one is really associating it; people are in the front background, the ship is in the background, and we are a bit like that.”

For old star track fans, this Voyager Moments are more than just other special effects … it is also a realization of dreams that have long been for decades that began with Gene Roddenberry. The creator of the franchise initially dreamed of having a company regularly landed on the planets at The original series, But he immediately realized how expensive he had a ship landing in a new place every week. This is how the transporter was born, because it allows Kirk captains and crews whose ex quickly visited a new place and then returned to the ship through a special effect of “my beam” which was much cheaper.

VoyagerThe producer came to the same conclusion as Roddenberry did, which is why most of the shows attached to the special effects of transporters rather than continuing to have a ship’s land. Nevertheless, he landed several more times after “37,” and producers have an easier time to revive this ambitious effect on their next effort. They do it even though the CGI model for the ship is too small, which can be proven that the size is really not a problem in the 24th century. We will not recommend saying that to Captain Janeway about the size of the coffee cup in the morning, unless you want him to kill you faster than killing tuvix!
