[QUOTE]Originally posted by mrneutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb] Well, I was talking about what's onscreen. [/qb][/QUOTE] So am I. The nacelle outside the Rec Deck windows is on screen. You just have to look very hard to see it. Freeze the video at 29:25 and 29:31 and you can see them Not easy to see, but unmistakebly there, seen through eight rectangular windows that conform exactly to the outside of the ship. [QUOTE][qb]It's obvious that there was little attention paid to Probert's cutaways and such.[/qb][/QUOTE] On what do you base this assertion? The officer's lounge is the only blatant mistake they made. Everything else is right on the money. [qb] [QUOTE]When they went to do the DE, they put a virtual camera inside a virtual model of the Ent and that's the view from which they added the CCI window views.[/qb][/QUOTE] Actually, it IS wrong. I just looked at the profile of the ship. The bottom bulge of the engine should be lined up just about perfectly with the window, but the window is clearly lower. I think they mistestimated the window height in the CG model very so slightly. Then there's the matter of the starfield going backwards at an angle that makes the ship appear to be "crabbing" through space. Oops! [qb] [QUOTE]And they used...the large aft-bulge windows for the recdeck.[/qb][/QUOTE] The prosecution points to the shots shots of Decker and Ilia walking across the rec deck and ending up in front of those same rectangular windows seen in the officer's lounge. They in no way correspond to the windows below the bridge. :D [qb] [QUOTE]And anyways, I think most people (including me) have always assumed the aft-saucer rim to be the location of the OL, due to the fact that any fool can see that the windows correspond exactly to those on the model in that area. I's just common sense, guys...[/qb][/QUOTE] Everyone I ever chatted with assumed the opposite. Theye was never any reason to assume that location prior to the DE and it's added nacelle. The case for the Officer's lounge: Two windows, originally seen with nothing outside them but space (and 21 years later an engine added to the view). The case for the rec deck: Eight windows matching exactly exterior of the ship, a nacelle also seen outside. A room clearly too wide to fit into the location below the bridge. I'll leave it to the jury to decide. <g> [/QB][/QUOTE]
