My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.

I definitely prefer the darker version, it seems a lot less artificial. To me, the brighter ship looks rendered, as if I was looking at a video games' screenshot.

Literally a ship in space with next to no light.

The live action version is more realistic.

the extra light comes from the same place as the music actually

I see, the camera just has a sun attached to it then? cool. no problem.

Not just any sun, they use the sun.

It's a huge inconvenience for people in Sector 001 every time they need to borrow Sol to shoot more exterior shots of the various ships for the historical documents.

Err, wrong IP there, @beefcat. "The Historical Documents" isn't from Star Trek, it's from BSG.

[–] beefcat@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s. Galaxy Quest reference, and as we all know Galaxy Quest is one of the top 3 best Star Trek movies.

Not to mention my favorite work of Tellerite cinema.
