Transporter effects Day 7: A Sampling of other transporters. 

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 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.

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?

Transporter Effects Day 6: Contemporary TV Trek Revival

Discovery: I’ve included both the older Shenzou and Discovery transporters. Fairly similar although Shenzou is a bit more sparkles while Discovery has more swirls towards the end. 

Picard: 25th Century civilian transporters, no sparkles, all colums. almost Dominion-eque

As suggested by @thecaptainoutoftime I’ll be doing a weeklong set about (mainline) transporters effects. I’ll mostly focus on Starfleet ones.
