The TNG shot is from the inside of a Dyson sphere somewhere in the Alpha Quadrant, whereas the VOY shot is from the inside of a Starfleet R&D hanger on Earth.
Re-used a cave set? I can’t imagine what you’re talking about.
SNW cheats by using a digital set for their alien worlds instead of Planet Hell. Just change the objects in the foreground and swap out the images on the screens behind the actors and you have a new planet. This set is also used for Engineering, with some railings and consoles installed.
Yeah, “The Volume” is this era’s green screen cheat. It does afford some interesting shots that help the actors react somewhat more believably, seeing an actual projection instead of just green.
edit: I must note, that whilst in my rewatch of Voyager, I have just this night come upon the very “Plantet Hell” episode of s2e7 “Parturition”
This is the sign.
What was the Voyager usage? Was it supposed to be a Starbase Kim was escaping from?
Precisely. A nice cost cutting feature, much like earlier in the episode where Paris happens to have a handy portable transport.
Paris: Site-to-site transporter. With friends like mine, you never know when it’ll come in handy. Where’s your office?
KIM: Main complex, level six, subsection forty seven
As if just mentioning the room number won’t land them in the middle of a desk or some such.
I’m trying (and failing) to find an image, but I want to say they re-reused it again in ENT when they entered one of the spheres in the Delphic Expanse.Edit: Nevermind. I was thinking of TNG: Relics after all.
What episode? Trekcore.com is fairly thorough outside of very particular frames.
I thought it was The Council but I was totally mixing up the Dyson sphere in Relics (which is in the meme) with the Delphic sphere they entered.
The one in ENT was just a hologram.
Right. Just the entrance was a hologram. The spheres themselves were still quite massive and numerous.
