I love the LCARS. The Computer Displays in the newer movies and Disco are toobusy and gimicky. With the LCARS you always had a feeling that it is something the Officers could really work with all day. Great attention to detail, I look forward to see what you come up with.
I do love LCARS displays. They look elegant, but efficiently organised too,like something you could really use. One of the things more modern trek series do is to have all sorts of random activity, which just isn't all that helpful or convincing, as it looks like it isn't doing anything.
@@FPSD i see. thanks for the explanation. I thought they used monitors back then as well, since a lot of the screens/consoles showed moving images. Would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of the two techniques.
@@larnregis Certainly in DS9 and Voyager CRT displays were used more and more, you're right. That all felt a bit over the top for our purposes though, as TNG rarely used live monitors (although there are exceptions). That said, we did use an actual tablet screen for a few shots in our film "The Holy Core", as we had a center display in our shuttlepod console that had a "live screen" built in. I did that because there were a number of story points that needed to be conveyed with the graphics, so in that case it made sense to use video and not just a static display.

Sure - but they are not in anyway "official" of course. They may also vary a bit (or a lot!) depending on what colour temperature your light source is. The CMYK values are: Yellow: 9,0,98,0 Blue: 31,15,0,0 Dark Tan: 14,24,63,0 Light Tan: 2,0,31,0 Good luck with your project! I hope I was able to help :-)
No worries :-) You can try and print them yourself with ink jet printers onto transparency sheets, but I wouldn't advise it. Still costs loads in black in, isn't as good and will be sticky. I'm in the UK and use these guys: www.printed.com/products/21/backlit-graphics
thanks! we've come a long way since I was 12 making the engineering master systems display out of construction paper, cardboard, and christmas lights poking thru the back. :)
Well you have to design them first of course, but once you have that, I recommend getting these guys to print it: www.printed.com/products/21/backlit-graphics
