Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVD Details Announced
l0key432 writes "The first season of Deep Space Nine will be released on DVD in late-February next year in the form of a six-disc box set, Paramount Home Entertainment officially announced on StarTrek.com. The DVDs will contain, of course, all of the season one episodes, newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and many extras. The following six seasons will be released one or two months apart from each other, as the Next Generation box sets were. Good to see this show finally coming out on DVD and getting some of the recognition it truly deserves."
Okay, we've got idiots coming out of the walls tonight. I know you kids were raised on the computer-generated whatsit, but back in the day we used to do whatcha call "optical compositing." No computers, no digital anything, just a dark room and some film.
Hence the phrase, "more motion-controlled model shots optically composited together than ever before."
All of Babylon 5's special effects were computer-generated and digitally composited. Apart from looking like hammered shit most of the time, they do not even remotely qualify for the title of most complex optical shot ever.
Sheesh. Kids these days.
