File talk:Animated crew.jpg

This appears to be an artists rendition, the question is, who? For all we know, based on its appearance and quality, it looks like a fan-drawn image. Where did this come from? --Gvsualan 19:51, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It still looks fan-made reproduction -- it's shifted offcenter to the left some, from the original 'original' image. I'll go ahead and add the source to the image page, beecause this is not the run-of-the-mill screencap that anyone can find. --Gvsualan 20:17, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * It's a production cel, but from a publicity photo -- not an actual episodic scene/screencap -- i think this one was photographed and not scanned, however, judging by the quality (faded background, etc). -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 20:41, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, from what I see, comparing the two images: the older image, for example, has Scotty partially in front the captain's chair, whereas the newer image has him completely clear of it. The older picture clearly looks like a 70's animated drawing whereas the newer one has it's subtle differences, as I mentioned before. So does this mean that the crew image is an overlay on the bridge? And if so, what explains the differences in positioning -- the way the cels were overlaid on each other? (If thats how that works?) --Gvsualan 23:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That's the definition of a "cel" -- it is a piece of transparent plastic with the crew drawn or printed on it, mounted on a background. Complex animation could involve multiple cels laid over each other.


 * Naturally they can be arranged differently -- the image with the crew was aligned differently in both prints. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 02:27, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The new image looks as if it was taken from Star Trek Animated rather than Trekpulse (which TAS section is just a couple of months old) -- Kobi - (   ) 07:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
