[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [qb]I am fairly confident though that if they can't HD the video or even revisit the files (which may now be history, I don't know), there is a chance they do good on shots they need to remake. But I doubt it. I am pretty sure we won't have the same problems as on B5 DVDs though. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, the B5 issue is down to (apparently) Doug Netter refusing to spend the money to get Foundation Imaging a widescreen monitor. With the amount of money and attention being thrown at TNG, I can't see them getting to the CGI stuff, throwing their hands up and just up-scaling it. I can't remember who described the issue (it might have been Mojo) but one of the thoughts when CGI replaced physical models was how much more resiliant the CGI would be. It wouldn't need storing, it wouldn't need repainting, and so on. Of course, fast forward to the late 90s-early 2000s, and I believe we had at least 3 different CGI models used for the Galaxy-class. ILM built one for Generations. Then a new one was built for DS9. Then ANOTHER new one was built for the final episode of Enterprise. The models may not physically age, but from a software point of view they do. Unless they keep updating them all the time, it means when they go back to an old model they have to spend ages getting them to work in the new software. I imagine the late TNG/DS9 ship stuff was all sub-HD resolution, so will have to be redone. And I kinda want them to stick with the TNG approach to that, rather than the TOS version. MAYBE change one or two ships, but if we get to Sacrifice of Angels that the fleet is suddenly made up of all new design, it would feel wrong. (On that, have Okuda and co said what the thinking is when they start getting to the heavy CGI stuff? Are they going to have to replace EVERYTHING?) As for the ages of the fleets... how do we know that the Cardassian ships weren't 60 year old designs? The Galaxy out-classed the Galor-class, from what I remember. The Klingons certainly didn't mind going into battle with 100 year-old ship designs... [/QB][/QUOTE]
