The video clip with the HD warp effect is breathtaking.

OMG, the never really filmed the series at all, its a faaaaake!!
My take on the Moon landing conspiracy hysteria.
Obviously it was a quick and dirty approximate edit by Trekcore.

I'm normally an OAR stickler, but I get a chubby every time I think of watching TNG in 1.85:1 Widescreen! If they could frame the shots properly, I'd be OK with them making this change. As for SFX, I believe they're using the original model work, etc... which is as it should be.

Digital Bits are saying that they are making 1.33:1 and 1.78:1 versions, so I presume the 1.33:1 will go to blu-ray and the 1.78:1 are offered as an option for streaming and offered to TV Stations who would like widescreen programming.

Well, but that's "just" another screencap from the video, which has a limited bitrate and not the full 1080p resolution. I want a real glory shot of the Enterprise to drool over!

That's one I wouldn't be to sorry to be replaced entirely.
That is a really bad shot. at least as a still.
Can't think of a worse case of messed up scales AND lighting problems.

Now this is going to look a lot better in HD. The recompositing will remove the overexposure, for one thing. Then in much higher resolution. And if they want, they can still resize some of the ships.

So my understanding of the press release it that the effects shots will just be a recomposition of the original effects? I am kind of disappointed by this news, I will get sick of seeing the same effects shot again and again in 1080p like I did watching it in SD. I was hoping for some new CG ships, some new shots of the Enterprise in orbit around planets, a replacement of all those Excelsior class ships. But we will not have them now.

Personally, I'm amazed that CBS decided to re-comp the FX. It's a hell of alot of work, but the detail is more than we'd likely have seen with new (not to mention probably cheap and rushed) CG. Just imagine how Tin Man will look now
There are a few scenes in the series though where I don't see an alternative other than new CG. My first thought was the CG asteroid in Masks. There's no way that would've been rendered in HD back in '93, so I imagine it'll look pretty bad upscaled to 1080p. Was the alien in Galaxy's Child CG too? Looked it to me, but that ep's from '91...
Then there's shots within the live action scenes, like phasers and transporters. Were they all optical, even in the late seasons?

Re: What new FX/editing do you want to see in the STNG-R?
Yes, most of the shots of it (well, 'them' really) were CG. I understand a model was built, but I have no idea if it made it into any finished shots.
Re: What new FX/editing do you want to see in the STNG-R?
I love the idea of this shot, but in reality its a horrible, horrible shot.
Not only is the lightening way off, but my God how big those Bird of Prey's are. It's just laughable.

Has this been confirmed, or are we simply assuming it to be the case? Maybe they're just doing some fancy (and useless) upscaling process that looks like shit?
