[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Stipes is definitely to be credited for introducing CGI into DS9, and although the initial CGI models were rather inferior, they hadn't been meant for closeups, only fleet shots. Unfortunately, since they now had them, they got lazy and used them in closeups as well, for instance in "Valiant", where the weird Defiant model has to be seen in a closeup because it's easily relabeled and exploded, and because no stock footage could've been used. It should've been possible to relabel the model and use motion-control for at least the regular model footage, if not the explosion. That's the big problem. I credit Stipes for going out of his way to answer questions online. Sure, he'd only been working on DS9 since Glenn Neufeld left after "Shattered Mirror", and only occassionally on TNG and Voyager before that -- however, there's no reason to believe any other supervisors are more familiar with the special nomenclature for these ships. He did misestimate the sizes of a couple of ships, but the other sizes were set by Hutzel and other supervisors -- they're not all his. [/QB][/QUOTE]
