But I would have to imagine they%27d be nice enough to invite him to a screening%2C especially since his scene got cut.  And he mentioned the producer asking him if he wanted to go when he talked about getting the news of said cuttage on his website.%0D%0A%0D%0AIt%27s still 50%2F50%2C as they usually have multiple c%26c screenings%2C and I%27m low enough in the food chain to be at the %27and everybody else%27 showing%2C while Wil%2C being friends with everyone%2C would probably rate the screening the principle cast and crew would attend.  But whichever one it might be--if they%27re even split--is at the studio and not a rented out local theater%2C so that ups the odds a bit in my favor.%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Btable border%3D%220%22 cellspacing%3D%220%22 cellpadding%3D%220%22%5D%5Btr%5D%5Btd colspan%3D%222%22%5D%5Bhr size%3D%221%22 noshade%5D%5B%2Ftd%5D%5Btr%5D%5Btd%5Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fhomepage.mac.com%2Fwedge%2Fstuff%2Fnall.jpg%5B%2Ftd%5D%5Btd%5DChad Collier%0D%0AJ.

No spoilers from me%2C just a lot of appreciation for the digital manipulation some of those scenes must have taken.  My thanks to all those J. Random Pixel Pushers out there.%0D%0A

Was it the cloak you %0D%0A%3Egot to work on%3F  I%27m curious how much you had a hand in the film%27s %0D%0A%3Eeffects. %0D%0A%0D%0AMy job involves digitizing production negative so that they can be manipulated and then putting the finished files back to film%2C so as such I%27m not responsible for any one shot or sets of shots.  As far as what Digital Domain did%2C the answer is the majority of the effects including the major sequences and the bulk of the exterior ship stuff.  Almost 400 shots total.%0D%0A%0D%0ANeat fact%3A  Most of the closer shots during the collision are actually big models and not all cg.  They built a 30 foot section of the front of the %5Bi%5DEnterprise%5B%2Fi%5D%27s saucer and rammed it into a similar section of the %5Bi%5DScimitar%5B%2Fi%5D.  It was shot in slow motion to impart a greater sense of scale to the already huge models%2C and was also done upside down so as to get that nifty zero-g effect of debris floating away.  Sheet lead or something similar was used in the hull to get that effect of the hullmetal peeling back.  Extra debris%2C the burning bits of wrecked hull interior and exposed spaceframe%2C and extensions of the ship past the model were added digitally later.  I love that they%27ll still do model work like that.  In some cases it just looks better%2C and they%27ve become quite good at blending it with the cg stuff.%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Btable border%3D%220%22 cellspacing%3D%220%22 cellpadding%3D%220%22%5D%5Btr%5D%5Btd colspan%3D%222%22%5D%5Bhr size%3D%221%22 noshade%5D%5B%2Ftd%5D%5Btr%5D%5Btd%5Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fhomepage.mac.com%2Fwedge%2Fstuff%2Fnall.jpg%5B%2Ftd%5D%5Btd%5DChad Collier%0D%0AJ.
