[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] The work of the artists depends not only on themselves, but their superiors as well, and then the studio politics. Let's not forget that Matt Jefferies first redesigned the Constitution, and that Andrew Probert had to work from that, whether it helped him or not. Jeri Taylor asked Rick Sternbach to make the Voyager curvy -- his final design would've been the pointy Voyager. Finally, we have the new Enterprise which could've looked different had it not been for the higherups who introduced the Akira into the picture. Clearly, the test of any artist is how well he works under such limitations. However, here we also need to consider that different models were built under different limitations. The refit Constitution and the Enterprise-E were built on a movie budget, as opposed to the Ent-D which was made for a TV series (and even there, the six-footer which some people seem to prefer was built by ILM, primarily a movie effects company). Then there is also the different resolution of the television screen and the movie screen to consider -- the latter requires more detail and refinement. Naturally, this doesn't change the fact that the movie ships tend to be better liked, especially since we see them so rarely, but all of these other factors have to be kept in mind when making these comparisons.
