STTMP Transporter FX

[Mike 5]

I watched my Star Trek TMP DVD again last night. I like that movie alot. It's different than the rest of the movies for sure. It's not all shoot em up special effects. I like how it gives each of the main characters their own entrance. Anyway, I was wondering what you all thought of the transporter FX on this movie. It certainly is different than any other movie or series. I wish I had a screen shot to share with you all but I don't. I personality like it a lot and wish we could have seen it in other movies and/or series..

 

What do you all think?

If I remember right, the STTMP transporter effect was a visible beam or column of light, with the transported person showing as a particle effect outline and then fading into coherence as the visible beam winked off. I remember it looked cool, but just thought that perhaps as things were upgraded into STII that the transporter would have been updated, thus new effect.

 

Ok, maybe

Well after what happend to Cmdr. Sonak, I can't blame them for wanting to upgrade the transporters. But the effects is pretty cool.

I like it. It looks awesome for the time it was made. It's looks computer generated even!

I remember that effect and I liked it too. I think it was done using mirrors? I'm not certain.
