- I happen to think it's rather stupid to mix motion control with CGI for
- one reason: CONTINUITY.
-
- You have to carefully mix the look of the CGI to match the film, and this
- is a needless burden.
-
- If you have the models, why not just shoot them?
-
- What particular shots would be better done with CGI?
-
- Maybe some of the backgrounds and planets are better done with CGI.
-
- I think a lot of the opening was done with CGI, the move through the
- rings of that Saturnlike planet, etc...

- I think it's telling that during the making-of that they didn't even
- mention computer animation. They spent a great deal of time showing how
- the Voyager model was made with the new window features, and we get at
- best a 2 second clip of someone working with a Voyager wireframe. It was
- a fullscreen preview wireframe which I couldn't confirm as being Modeler
- (I've never seen fullscreen wireframes in Modeler or Layout).
-
- So they are definitely DOWNPLAYING the CGI element for some reason.
