Reflection at Enterprise build site

Grup

Starting at :33 seconds in, just above the second fence post. There is a refection (on the actual trailer clip) just below the warp nacelle in the column leading up to the nacelle. If you have the Quicktime clip you can manually drag the clip along and watch this occur.

Is this an effects error? It looks like a reflection in a window.
 
In the first teaser or where? :confused:
I was looking at the third teaser but I believe the scene appears in every one. Right as Kirk rides up and is viewing the building platform of the Enterprise. You're looking at his back as he looks at E.

Sorry.
 
I rewatched the trailer. That's a lens flare. It's supposed to add realism to the effect of a giant space ship standing in front of Kirk. If you ask me, it works. :techman:

It certainly is not an effects error.

Lens flare from what? I can look at somebody staring off at an airport and I don't see any kind of reflection/glare just floating around them for no reason. The glare is not coming off a fixed object in the scene nor does it move with any corresponding part of the scene. It's just "there". The glare I see actually floats from just above the fence post and runs along (but not actually on) the column under the nacelle. I'm sticking with effects error. :lol:

That's because your eye hasn't got a camera lens in it. ;)

Lens flare is an phenomenon in lens systems, either cameras or your eye. It is not a reflection. They can actually appear to float in space.

RT.

Gotcha:techman:
:wtf: How? The effect isn't there to make you think you're standing there yourself watching the Enterprise with your own eyes. It's there to make it appear like a real ship was filmed with a real camera. It's there to add realism to an otherwise quite obvious CGI effect. As I said, I think it makes it look more realistic. But our mileages seem to vary. :)
 
I've circled the horizontal lines that move when the camera moves. I don't think it's lens reflection.

Never noticed that flare effect. I was more interested in the UFP flag and logo emblazoned at the construction site.
 
I think it's glare in the lens from one of those stacks of lights on the right-hand side of the image. Notice the lights come in banks of eight, grouped four and four with a gap between them. Then the mystery lines; which are clustered into eight groups, four and four, with a gap between them.

It's some sort of reflection in the camera. (Or is intended to be to make it look like there's really a camera filming the CGI construction site. ;))

I see what you mean by the light banks at the opposite side of the clip. And that makes sense but I don't understand why it would be "intentional".

But. What if... Look at the upright column right above the "Authorized Personnel" sign. It looks like the same round light (only one) is going up inside the shaft. ( Right where the structures crosswalk is) As if it were an elevator. Could the reflections I'm questioning be poorly aligned elevator lights going up that shaft?

I'm still leaning towards the reflection theory though.
