There is another one of those industry trade articles on the making of Star Trek, this time focusing on the digital effects created by Industrial Light & Magic and Digital Domain. Although focusing on technical issues, the article has interesting information (including the sizes of a number of ships), plus there are some nice images not previously released.   The full article is at Society of Digital Artists (cgsociety.org), here are some interesting bits: ILM did 800 visual effects shots in six months Digital Domain did additional 150 shots in four months no traditional models or miniatures used Dimensions: shuttle: 30 feet long ( handled by ILM) Enterprise: 2,357 feet long (ILM) Narada 5 miles long + drill cable also 5 miles (ILM) Vulcan jump sequence used 250 shots, (ILM) Digital Domain’s work included the engineer bay sequence with pipes DD also worked on ‘robocop’ making him more ‘threatening’ and added Keenser’s metallic eyes Some of the images in the article: Some of the images at CG Society To see the images in larger sizes and read more details, go to cgsociety.org. The CG Society article is actually a couple weeks old, but slipped past our notice until a reader sent in a tip (thanks Carl). If you have seen an interesting article covering the making of Trek we haven’t pointed to, please send in the tip.
