Description:


    With weapons spent and shields exhausted, Picard rams the Enterprise into the bow of the Scimitar. Digital Domain built 1/45th scale models of the Scimitar Bow section and the Enterprise’s saucer section for the scene and, at collision speed, drove them into each other. The miniature elements were lined up and blended seamlessly with the full CG versions of both ships. To create the interiorScorpion Bay destruction, a practical model of the sub-floor collapsing was builtand composited with green-screen live-action elements, CG debris, CG scorpions,and a CG collapsing ceiling to match the practical set.
