Transporter effects day 3: 90′s Trek

The returns of sprinkles! The effect involved stirring something in a big clear container and filming it.

The TNG and DS9 effects for the Starfleet transporter remains unchanged throughout the series. I’ve included the Cardassian one as it was featured heavily in the show, and is just pretty to look at with the gold waves and swirls.

Transporter Effect Day 4: TNG Movie Edition

The TNGs make subtle effects change from the show and movie per movie. Also none of the movies involving the Enterprise-E ever show us that ship’s transporter room.

Generations: The addition of a solid column around the tradition TNG transporter effect. 

First Contact & Nemesis: virtually identical to each other with thinner sparkles and columns that are on a colour spectrum rather than uniform blue. The Nemesis one takes a bit longer and looks like they applied an HD filter or something.

Transporter Effects Day 5: Enterprise and NuTrek

Enterprise tries to mix the TNG effect with the TOS (including sounds), and while the transporter is safe for biomatter, it’s definitely in the early stages. sprinkles abound.

Star Trek 2009: Squibbly, squirrely, overly dramatic effect. Like being transported into an A-Ha video.
