People have been commenting/criticising Trek for it's reuse of SFX since the beginning I'd wager. Definitely since TWOK reused a bunch. It's fair enough I reckon. People who think it's recent Trek that's only been treated harshly have short memories
2239 Discovery Shuttles used in 3188?!?!?! - Trekyards Analysis
- Thread starter Kamen Rider Blade
- Start date
Which is true. Time was a huge factor here. And if it wasn't the finale, and it wasn't key moment, I wouldn't even have a second thought about it. This wasn't something they could have planned for deep in advance. At best a couple of weeks to see how things were getting seriously slowed down. And of course, they couldn't delay the show a week (I mean they could have, but that for streaming is extremely are, and only done in very serious situations). But again dream world, CBS says ok, we we don't have the manpower resources and time to do this. Let's spend x amount of dollars hire a couple of people who don't normally work on the production and see if we can get a couple things added to the mix. That would also be an extreme thing for a show to do. It's very rare, but it can happen. But this is also me not knowing how they managed their budget that season. Did they stay on target, did they go seriously over the season budget?
I mean I always wanted every shot of the ships to be an original shot. This is going back to the 60's. And how excited I would get when we did get a new shot. So I always understood why that didn't happen, but I still always wished it could...
You might think that, I'm already quite engaged with the story sofar.
Ah.
You didn't actually read my post did you? You just knee jerked after the first words, ignored it, and automatically assumed I was bad mouthing the show. Which I wasn't. I actually kind of like it with Saru being my favorite character.
If you'd actually read it you'd have seen I was showing my annoyance, in an over the top comedic manner, of those with a similar attitude as the OP's when it comes to 3D model work.
I was just responding to your passive aggressive whinge about the VFX artists.
I wasn't hostile. I was expressing my feelings on this matter in a comedic way.
I'm deeply sorry. I didn't realize having a sense of humor and being annoyed when fellow artists get trashed was a no-no in this Trek community.
In future I'll refrain from doing anything that would elicit a laugh or chortle. I'll also bite my tongue and keep silent when fellow artists get trashed by someone who has little to no idea of what they actually do.
Thing is you didn't give an opinion. You posted a YouTube vid, called the VFX artists lazy for reusing assets, and then told us you agreed with some YouTube yutz's tinfoil hat nonsense.
tinfoil hat clickbait + derogatory comment =/= opinion
This is the primary problem when this kind of stuff gets brought up. The folks who complain seem to be rather clueless as to how this stuff is actually made. They just assume someone sits in front of a computer and jabs a few buttons to make pretty images instantly appear.
While I think this particular issue is way overblown (I was far more critical of them doing it in "The Children of Mars"), TV is a visual medium and the visuals are what helps sell the believeability of the universe to the audience.
And Star Trek is about making money. Always has been, always will be.
I thought we were talking about the reuse in discovery in season 3.
On Picard sure, but again, they probably didn’t have the mesh ready.
as you certainly know, in television it’s always a matter of “do we really NEED to spend that money”. They had to fight to get the reliant and the enterprise-c models, spending that kind of money on a sequence of a few seconds isn’t really realistic.
Sure, they could have invested in a few ships and then reused those models for years, and that was probably the original plan, but with all the mess caused by covid it’s understandable they wanted to avoid spending even more money.
Everything is about making money. Our lives are about making money. Doesn't mean that the writers take that into consideration when they write it. They want to tell a good story, with good characters.
Maybe you should do a little bit more research about the TrekYards duo, they aren't some "random yutz" like you would like to portray them.
People on YouTube are random yutzs. Some produce more content than others but its still random.
Hell, I have over 150 subscribers and I'm just another random YouTube yutz. We're all random yutzes on there.
I have a YouTube channel. I talk about beer. I'm a yuts. Everyone on YouTube is a yutz. The only people that think otherwise are those wtih channels and having too much of an opinion about themselves or the yutzes following said yutzes. It's friggin YouTube, not notworthy reporting.
Wasn't that the shuttle from 2009 Star Trek?
But they really are in the grand scheme of things.......A corner of a part of a fandom knows who they are. I was never really a fan of them, but they completely lost me when they started crowdfunding to pay for their trips to cons........
It was unused design Eaves had for Nemesis I believeWasn't that the shuttle from 2009 Star Trek?
Maybe it is a retro design that popular at the time? What the problem? Federation influence has vanish at the area. Capitalism has back to it's finest. If retro design is popular, then it will pop up at the market.
