I have two early version of the TSFS poster. Would it be appropriate to include them? Ottens 14:29, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Model effects scale and perspective- whacked?

Is it just me or is the model effect scaling off in many of the shots in this film? It's established in the script the Klingon BoP is a 12 man ship and it appear fairly compact in ST:IV. Yet when we first see the BoP it looms over the freighter many times it's size. So the freighter is as big as a mini-van? Later we see it dwarfing the Enterprise. There is such a thing as dramatic license - but then there is the foolishness with the Moon. Yes, the Moon. Look at the size of the moon in shots of the Spacedock. It's on the far side of the Earth and yet it looks many times bigger than it does to us on the surface. It would have to resting on the far side of the Earth to look that big.
