Star Trek: Voyager He had a lot of special effects, but it could be said that nothing was more impressive than it was when the ship fell on a planet in the first show of the second season “The 37’s”. This was the first for the privilege, as in life it was one of the ideas of Jin Rodenberry, which he considered previously very costly to show it on the screen. However, this effect was almost disappointed thanks to the background production problems, including incorrectly designed landing holes and the CGI model that was very small.
This is the same Voyager The special effect was one of the individuals that the team dreamed of for a long time … for example, the graphic designer Michael Okuda recommended the Exec Rick Berman that this ship was able to land as a way to distinguish it from what happened before. Accordingly, the Rick Stearnbach has developed many potential ships designs that accommodate the landing capacity, and make sure that the final design includes small doors on the lower structure that aims to harbor landing equipment. However, the producers realized that the “legs” of the ship look very thin to support its body only after designing these supports.
The Voyageer snapshot that landed on a planet in the “The 37’s” was that this great effect that appears, and the producers were understandable that viewers would be disappointed if the ship seemed to have always exceeded on the leg. In the major TV traditions, they decided to fix this problem after production … in this case, by placing rock rocks and other strategic features about Voyageer while it is landing. Return and watch the episode, and you will see how they effectively block the masses of the masses of these small landing supports.
However, this was not the only problem VoyagerA special special effect … as it turned out, digital artists in the exhibition accidentally made the CGI model for a very small ship. This supervisor of annoying visual effects Ronald B. Moore (should not be confused with the journey author BATLESTAR GALACTICA Reboot Showrunner Ronald D. Moore), who was disappointed by the impact of the landing because “Voyageer size on Earth was incorrect.” However, he did not feel that the masses will necessarily notice “because there is nothing really linking him; people in the foreground, the ship in the background, and we Kinda keep it like this.”
Star Trek fans long, this Voyager The moment was more than just another special effect … It was also a decades -old dream that started with Jin Rodenberry. The franchise originated originally dreamed of the foundation of the institution regularly on the planets in The original series, But he soon realized how much the ship’s land is costly in a new place every week. This is the way the carrier was born, as Captain Kerk and his former crew allowed a visit quickly in a new place and then returning to the ship through a special “Beam Me up” effect.
VoyagerProducers reached the same conclusion that Roddenberry did, and for this reason the show often stuck to the special effect instead of having the land of the ship constantly. However, it fell several times after the “37”, and the producers had a much easier time to achieve this ambitious effect on their subsequent attempts. They did this even though the CGI model of ships is very small, which may prove that the size does not really matter in the twenty -fourth century. We do not recommend telling him that Captain Janouway about the sizes of the cup of coffee in the morning, unless you want it to kill you faster than you killed Tuvix!
