Am I the only one who thinks we should add images of the posters for this film and the other films in the original series with the credits in it instead of the actual artwork? Tjdrum2000 (talk) 15:15, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To avoid edit warring, bringing to talk. In contrast to the Catmull source, we have the previously used Washington Post article and the book Special Effects: Still in Search of Wonder (Michele Pierson). A quick search shows more recent citations as well, but I'm not including them to avoid potential circular sourcing. Either way, it's inappropriate to assert that it's the second (and specifically referencing Futureworld is out-of-scope of this article), if it's inappropriate to assert it's the first. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 19:10, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly I don't see Syfy as a high-quality reliable source, nor does the AFI database hold absolute sway for the figure for TMP versus the sources already in the article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 20:38, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, in the section titled “Filming”, the second paragraph includes this passage:

“The ships were filmed on a blue screen with special film that does not register the color blue; the resulting shots could be added to effects shots or other footage.”

This is a misunderstanding of the role of the Blue Screen. It's true that the color blue doesn't register. In fact it's of the utmost importance that blue (or any other primary color) does register on the original film negative, in order for the FX process to generate the opaque masks which ultimately allow the foreground and background elements to be integrated into a single image in an optical printer. In principle no special film is required as far as the Blue Screen process itself is concerned.

I am replacing the passage with the following:

“The spaceship miniatures were photographed against a blue screen, which in post production allowed them to be composited with background scenery which has itself been photographed independently of the foreground miniatures.”

David Fuchs, some of this is nitpicking, but I thought I'd put it here so you can go through your others at WP:URFA/2020 for similar before I have a look at them. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@David Fuchs:, post arbcase, I need to get back to reviewing all of the Star Trek series at URFA; could you look at the comments above before I continue? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:55, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sandy, the above should be addressed already. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 21:11, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One more note: Okuda is cited quite a few times, but it's unclear what this refers to. Probably, the full citation has been deleted somewhere along. FemkeMilene (talk) 21:11, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
