Star Trek Borg Queen assembly - VFX shot breakdown 

Borg Queen was also presented in Star Trek Voyager. But the shot was simpler and more CGI

That morph is stunning and flawless. I still can’t see a shift in any of her facial features.

that morph is timed super well with the suit closing up and and her expression of feeling the sensation of connecting to the body hides any possible errors that could have happened for a truly seamless action. really great coordination from all departments on that one.

One of my favorite films which inspired me to do VFX myself. It's one of those rare movies where ( regardless of how it's done ) almost all fx shots have a conistent level of realism until the very end of the movie.

where are you gone, we need you.

And yet, only one Oscar nomination, for Best Makeup. It lost... to _The Nutty Professor._

This is an amazing shot! I remember seeing it and being wowed! You don’t realise how much effort was required! Damn shame they cut it with data’s ugly face! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Thank you for this short but informative video. It brought me back to the good old days of Star Trek. A good distraction from today's madness.

I never would have known this was how they did it. Very informative. Thanks.

This is an amazing channel!! Thanks for the video!

That shot of her descending from the ceiling is the reason I love Alice Krige's Borg Queen so much.

Fantastic !

FC was a fun shoot.

This shot was amazing! I only wish they hadn't spoiled it in the trailer, though of course Paramount wanted to sell the movie and felt they had to. And also it would had been better without the reaction shot of Data cutting the one take in half. The one take was stunning.

Great reveal! Nothing like anything else in Trek Universe.

I watched the movie last night and yes, amazing!

I don't see how knowing about the edit would have saved them much or any work. The tricky part is the transition between the floating head setup and the full-body-costume setup, and that is still uninterrupted.

Will we see a new video anytime soon?

Impressive for 1996.

Vara level

Coolness,thanks,be blessed all in Jesus shalom

When did this movie released

Please help me

I always thought this scene was a pretty cool, if not disturbing, idea; but I also thought it always looked just slightly awkward or off for some reason. I think this is the reason they cut it into 2. The scene wasn't perfectly executed, although cool, so they spliced it to make it more believable. The decision to cut it was done after the effect was shot and finished. If it had been flawless, they would not have cut it. There, now you know the full tale. :)

la reina borg, es la mamá de 7d9 o al menos es la misma actriz

Poor VFX guys, all that work to create a single take scene 🎬 and then Frakes comes along to cut it up 😂 they’re still salty about that one…every time they hear “the Riker manoeuvre” they think about this

This movies vfx was really stunning, it is amazing. But the CGI is not that much

Ilm is the best ,I never industrial lights & magics movies.

I really didn't care for this entire concept. The craftsmanship is great, I just don't like the basic idea of it.
