Transporter Effects Day 2: Classic Movies Edition
TMP: As this is a brand new transporter room and effect, and as there was a mishap (we made a pile of sentient goo!) a hour before they’re being extra careful with it. which is why it take fifteen seconds to beam in. You won’t be catching anyone unaware with that. It’s like watching a kaleidoscope
Wrath of Khan: This is better but it still takes an ungodly amount of time to beam in. The two big columns of light that ensures everyone within 10km knows where you beamed in. The columns of light would stay incorporated throughout the rest of the movies, although here it’s horizontal. Sparkles are back.
Search for Spock: Big Bright Columns, less sparkles.
Voyage Home: The only no Starfleet transporter in the bunch. multiple columns, some sparkles.
Final Frontier: We cheaped out on the sfx company and budget so very cheezy looking sparkles and instead of columns we have....ovals?
Undiscovered Country: Back to basics, the columns have returned and minimal sparkles.
