Star Trek: TOS USS Enterprise - Visual Effects Test

Here's a little experiment with lens dust, post-render motion blur, flaring, and tracking with camera shake I did with ReelSmart Motion Blur, Adobe After Effects, Blender 3D, and Knoll Light Factory. USS Enterprise model is from a little site called "Blender 3D Star Trek Meshes."

If you don't mind me asking: How did you do the zooms ? Was that render time effect (camera setting) or post effect? It looks very natural, and THAT is something I can't quite replicate this well....How exactly did you do it?

[momoflakes]

@jimp1102 The zooms were done in Blender, as if I did an actual zoom with the "camera's" focal length. Since Blender doesn't apply motion blur to zoom moves when it renders out, I added motion blur with a third-party plugin in After Effects.

The rendering of the 1701 is so good that it looks like a physical model is being used in the shot.

A-a-awe-s-s- some, i mean seriously you have a gift there. Id love to build a time machine and send you back to when the first series had just piloted and watch americans cry in their living rooms at special effects they just couldnt comprehend

"Captains Log, Stardate 4211.7. We have been pulled into what is being called "The JJ-verse". Many of the crew have reported migraines from overpowered light sources and motion sickness from uneven camera movement. I maintain through all of this that I am still the most awesome person who ever lived."
