[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mojo: [QB] B5 vs. TREK computer graphics B5 does absolutely look dated, but keep in mind that was our maiden voyage into digital effects; for that matter, it was the first time ANYONE had done that, so we had to write the book as we were going. Star Trek looks better not because they have more money, but because we had improved greatly as artists during those initial 3 and a half years (Foundation only did the FX for B5 from the pilot to the end of the 3rd season). By the end of the first year of B5 we learned so much that we could have gone back and rebuilt all the models and made them look ten times better, but there simply wasn't the time for that on our schedule. Doing something like "Severed Dreams" is still a major highlight for me personally (I storyboarded and directed the battle sequence), since we had a creative freedom on B5 that few companies ever enjoy. Star Trek, on the other hand, has a long legacy that must be matched and adhered to. Trek also has their own visual effects supervisors that insure our work is consistant with the Star Trek universe and who also bring their own expertise to the process. They are very different beasts, and thusly have different results. And no, at the moment I can't tell you any more about the upcoming book. However, I'm sure that will change relatively soon as Pocket Books decides to release details. People here have specifically said they would like to see more fleet combat envisioned in Star Trek, and that is the sort of thing we will be focusing on in the "Unseen Frontier" book, which is coming in 2002. More on that when I have some time! Regards, Mojo [/QB][/QUOTE]
