[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] Let me ask this question: why is a ship's appearance so much more important to us than its size, whereas every VFX person will tell us exactly the opposite? Why is it so easy to ignore the observation that the ships change their sizes, yet so difficult to ignore the other observation -- that their looks remain the same? VFX people assume the audience won't remember the looks of the models, so they deliberately change their sizes to make them into capital ships or scouts, "to satisfy a story point" in the words of David Stipes. So the real random property isn't the size -- it's the exact look of the model, which most people don't remember. This is a huge reality gap between our analyses and actual practices. Perhaps it's because we're so much into the appearance of models, drawing of the exact schematics and such that we fail to consider that perhaps what we see onscreen isn't supposed to be analyzed that closely, and would, given a greater budget, look different. It would make the accounting of classes much more complicated, but also more realistic, as Cardassians and Romulans would finally have more than just a few warship classes. Again, why are the looks of the models so much more important than their size, when the exact reverse was intended by people making the show? Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
