Old school special effects - love it. This whole project is on the fly so instead of suspending the models and setting lights they are laying right on the board which makes it even worse, unless it's outside and overcast then it works well. I'm trying not to Photoshop the models too much because I want it to be "obvious" they're just paper, but some effects seem to work (running lights, blurs, etc.).
The whole "Moments Before" thing is me trying to capture some of those things we didn't see on camera, but future ones will be all over the place. It just reminds me how little we actually saw onscreen of the TOS universe. With all that untapped potential (other starships, underused aliens, unseen conflicts) it's amazing we don't get more great Star Trek. Cudos to the web-film makers, Phase 2, Star Trek Continues, Starship Farragut, etc., who continue to play in that sandbox.
