Star Trek: The best special effects for the traveler are almost disappointing

Star Trek: Traveler There are a lot of special effects, but arguably nothing more impressive than the planets that ship landed in the '37s' season premiere. This is the first of the franchise, making Gene Roddenberry’s previous thoughts too expensive to show on screen. However, this effect was almost disappointing due to behind-the-scenes production issues, including the improperly designed landing struts and the CGI model being too small.
This is special Traveler The special effects are a person the team has dreamed of… For example, franchise graphic designer Michael Okuda previously suggested executive producer Rick Berman, thinking the ship should be able to land to distinguish it from previous situations. Therefore, Rick Sternbach developed several ship designs that might be suitable for landing capabilities, and he ensured that the finished design had a small hatch on the hull at the bottom, designed to accommodate landing equipment. However, it was only after designing these pillars that the producer realized that the ship's “legs” looked too thin to support its body.
In the '37s', the shot of a traveler landing on a planet would have been such a big performance special effect, and the producer could understand that the audience would be disappointed if it seemed that the ship always skipped the leg day. In the grand tradition of television, they decided to address this in post-production…in this case, by placing rock outcrops and other ground features on the way Voyager landed, strategically. Go back and watch this episode and you’ll see how they effectively mask the audience’s perception of those young landing pillars.
But, this is not the only problem TravelerThe special effects of fantasy… It turns out that the show’s digital artist accidentally made the ship’s CGI model too small. This annoyance visual effects director Ronald B. Moore (Don't work with Trek Writer and Space Fortress Karatica Restarting the show host Ronald D. Moore, who was disappointed with the landing effect because “the size of the local travelers is not correct.” But he doesn’t feel that the audience will notice “because there is nothing to do with it; people are in the prospect, the boat is in the backstage, and we kind of do.”
For long-time Star Trek fans, this Traveler Moments are more than just another special effect…it’s also the realization of a decades-old dream that started with Gene Roddenberry. The franchise creators initially dream of landing businesses on planets regularly Original series, But he soon realized how expensive it would be to land a boat in a new place every week. That's how the transporter was born, as it allows Captain Kirk and his former crew to quickly access new places and then return to the ship with a much cheaper special effect of “Cheer Me Up.”
TravelerThe producers of Roddenberry came to the same conclusion, which is why the show is mostly stuck to the special effects of the transporter rather than constantly owning ship land. Still, it landed a few more times after the '37', and the producers' time was easier, bringing this ambitious effect to their subsequent attempts. Despite the small size of the CGI model, they did it, and it can be said that this is indeed not important in the size of the 24th century. We do not recommend telling Captain Janeway about her morning coffee cup size, though, unless you want her to kill you faster than she kills Tuvix!
