[rec.arts.startrek.info] Technical goof in BoBWII

brown@vidiot.UUCP (Vidiot) (10/11/90)

While I was editing the BoBWII tape last night I noticed a very glaring error.
I didn't catch it until I edited it because the error occurs around the
commercial break.

The scene: the Enterprise comes up to the Wolf-359 battle scene.  As they
go through the field, you see the Enterprise from space as it moves left on
the screen.  The camera follows it.  Look to your left.  You will see a glowing
object behind a closer object.  The scene fades to commercial.

Upon return from the commercial, the scene is repeated.  As you pan left, you
again see the glowing object.  But wait a minute...the object that was close
on the left is now missing and you can see the glowing object clearly (it
was partially blocked out before) and the other burned out objects that were
obscured before.  Gary Hutzel and his crew did a major boo-boo.  When they
edited the scene for the after-the-commercial shot, a tape was obviously
forgotten and not included.

The old case of now-you-see-it, now-you-don't!
