Thank you, Captain Fantastic and Harry. I’m glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun putting that video together.

Buckaroo, that is SWEET!! Loved it! As the saucer section came flying back toward us, I couldn’t help but think that they should have had an episode where the crew go back in time (yes, again) to address some crisis in our present day and the saucer section gets spotted (in the upper atmosphere) from the ground as a flying saucer! Nice!

To those discussing the Constitution Class saucer separation:

I don’t usually plug my own work here, but since the subject was already being discussed…

Here’s a little something I came up with a while back. Hope you like.

# 153 – Dennis Bailey, it’s interesting what Matt Jeffries says about the exterior:

“Basically I wanted to keep it as plain as I could. To be able to play light on it. I didn’t want to load the exterior up with what looked like equipment of some kind. We used to talk about Murphy’s law, that whatever man makes will break at the most inopportune time. So why have equipment on the outside in the worst possible environment to put a crewman out to work on it if you can keep it on the inside?”

As to models versus CGI, I didn’t think the work on Insurrection was that great.

Either technique will be effective, if done properly. In Star Trek V, the model was not lit properly, and looked terrible. Daren Doc made a CGI Enterprise and Doug Trumbull raved about it:

Darken her up a bit. Just like a beautiful woman in veils, it adds to her mystery…

#181, #182 — If you will permit me the criticism, tone done the sheen — it looks a little too chrome-metallic, whereas I believe the on-screen effect is going to be more like steel-plate-metallic.
