The special effects crew of this film were at work about
|
||
six days(60 hours) each week. Most of the models were created
|
||
at ILM out of brass plates which were etched where lights
|
||
were needed. Then, neon lights were placed inside to create a
|
||
wonderful glow. At the end of the film, when the explosion
|
||
was set of by the Genesis device, a special high speed camera
|
||
was used. For an example of the speed, normal cameras at
|
||
normal speed travel at 24 fps(frames per second) the camera
|
||
for this shot ran at 2500 fps! So fast that on film it took
|
||
one minute forty four seconds and in real time it took less
|
||
than one second.

In this film, many of the same ideas were used to do the
|
||
effects in Star Trek 2. One of the new ideas was the doglike
|
||
pet of the Klingon leader. To do this, Ken Ralston built a
|
||
foam latex `dog' and operated it from a small cut away
|
||
section of the ship's raised floor. The detailed models of
|
||
Star Trek III were made by William Beck, Mike Fulmer, Ira
|
||
Keeler, and Jeff Mann. ILM then used a motion control camera
|
||
(guided by computer) to move the models in front of a blue
|
||
screen. After alot of hard work and editing in an optical
|
||
printer ,the models are `spliced' onto a prefilmed
|
||
background.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you have any questions on the effects mentioned or any at
|
||
all leave me a message by E-MAIL.
|
||
I will also upload the effects to Star Trek:The Next
|
||
Generation very soon.
|
||
I hope you enjoyed the information, and can't wait to hear
|
||
from you.
