I have no time to make this anymore, but I have a howto and the Software here for free: www.knight-research.de/index.php/knight-3000/knight-3000-scanner
The US obviously ties in with the blue nebula/clouds (from TNG opening), but the EU is like a homage to the TNG 90s warp fx (which also tie's in with the iconic blue nebula opening) I will have to rewatch the bluray (UK) to see which they used
Interestingly enough the phisical DVD/Blu-ray release features the "EU" version but only on the main menu with all the other clips and snippets. The actual episode however still contains the "US" version (which also appears on all the streaming platforms). Thought that was quite interesting
@@KnightResearch That crappy version we got is the same model used for the shot as it warps in to Jupiter. The rest of the VFX shots were using the higher quality model.
The “EU” version was an unfinished effect, it has now been corrected. However the recent Blu-ray release unfortunately has the unfinished effect on the disc.
Just checked the PICARD season 3 blu-ray release in the UK - it has the EU version again, not the superior US version. EDIT: Apparently this is the US blu-ray release, the UK version isn’t out until November. Have they decided that the EU version was the “correct” version after all? Curiouser and curiouser…
Um you know that the Knight Rider Historians already do this sort of thing.😁 And oh yeah, Joe's got the Semi. Cool as the heckens with the Psycho house from Halloween Knight.
By the way, is there an technical explanation anywhere why the Warp-transit effect of the Ent-D (stars slowly drifting by, as it used to be pre-2005) is different from that of literally any other ship shown since 2009? (basically Star Wars-Hyperspace) Like, differently built engines? The other ships all use a sort of Slipstream-drive instead of "old-fashioned" Warp?
Troy said I thought it was smaller. Dude, the ship is huge. Where are the kids and hobbies and Forward 10's mystic Guinan? It is not a combat shuttle made of a bridge
Auf welcher Plattform hast du's geschaut? Weil Paramount+ hat glaube ich die US Version auch auf deutsch während Prime die EU Version hat. Oder andersrum. Mittlerweile dürfte es aber auch schon gefixt worden sein.
This was good catch before the update. It really looks like they tried very hard to make a straight TNG tribute shot (which the EU version got) but then decided they needed a bit more modernization.
The EU version has the more faithful Enterprise shot but the US version has much better CGI. I wonder if all versions originally had the EU version but the shot was redone only to not be applied to all versions in post production.
Me too, although it makes no sense. Stars are the size of dust and pass relatively close to the ship. If anything could change, it's this. They should fix the lazy dystopian story telling where technology is applied is strange ways. Shooting photons one minute, can't do it the next because those were not launched by themselves? Pump action phaser rifles that depleted their power cell after 6 shots? Emergency power for the holodeck, but not for sickbay/life support/shields? Disable cloak to transport people? Can't detect warp signatures one minute, next minute they can when it suits the plot (ambush Daystream). The starship gets too cold in southern France so they camp outside and leave the Borg queen alone? And of course drinking every scene, smoking, doing drugs. Everyone has a personal trauma. They complain about poverty. They torture and openly discuss killing people without exploring other solutions. This was one massive pain to watch. The Orville is how it's done.
@@UPPERKEES Agree with everything you said, and he last part regarding drinking, drugs, trauma etc, i think is american culture thing. They have serious problems with all of these right now.
I actually disliked the US version over the EU. I did love the angled approach of the US one, but there was something very off with the main deflector in that one. I understand that this wasn't full CGI, and they used model ships. And you can clearly see it's a model in the US version. The reflection of the deflector looks like there is some kind of wrinkled plastic foil on it, which doesn't look realistic. It looks like a toy. I would prefer models over CGI, but this was surely an error during the shoot and build of it. The EU looks like it's full CGI.
That scene was the title scene from Star Trek TNG! I recognize that like the back of my big toe! Jesus christ man. This series is like a movie all on its own!! Possibly the best out of all of them. The crew start and leave the exact same way. So much sentimental value to this show. So much wisdom. And a lot of them can be applied to right now, even. Timeless. But........love how they pull out everything from the past and put them all here. Even Alice Krige as the Borg Queen!!! Wow. They spared no one. And the little tease at the very end of the movie? Err, I mean series? Poor Jack...... From all the old cast, to the Enterprise D, to the new Enterprise G....the Stargazer, brief glimpses of the USS Defiant, USS Voyager, wow! Can it get any better? We need a continuation of this! I had tears streaming down my face when I saw the Enterprise D and the dramatic build up to it. The flood of memories came coming back and hit me so hard. Most of the kickoff happens in Season 3. All the trekkies out there would enjoy this one. What a buildup! I'm telling you, this has so much more than any movie can offer in the history of Star Trek and movies in general. I guess technology and CG has matured and can now make the simplest things happen on the small screen. The original TV Star Trek and even all the TNG, could not duplicate this. Now, anything is possible and boy did they make this a good one.
"they spared no one' Except Janeway , i read she was supposed to cameo at the end instead of Tuvok promoting Seven to captain, but apparently she never got on with Jeri Ryan so refused (obvs didn't want a tiny token cameo scene with still smokin' hot Ryan whose been co-lead in all 3 seasons of Picard)
