For the red forest seen in the beginning of the film, &#8220;the budget for the forest got smaller as the jungle got more complicated,&#8221; said Guyett. &#8220;J.J. is very good at using small sets and making them feel big.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the Enterprise, set extensions brought scale to the Enterprise interior. &#8220;This time, we decided to built a much more complex series of corridors, which allowed [the audience] to travel with the crew around the ship a little bit more,&#8221; said Guyett. &#8220;There&#8217;s large atrium that allows you to see down to the multilevels of the ship and it gives you an understanding of the scale of the ship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guyett took advantage of the 3D filming to bring warp to the audience. &#8220;We added a dimensional element to warp,&#8221; he said. &#8220;When the ship goes into warp we do a camera movement, which is a play on the concept of the Hitchcockian dolly zoom. [Just before] the ship goes into warp you get this lens distortion; In 3D we were able to pull the ship off the screen and into the audience and when it is released we created these trails left behind and [the audience] travels through it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ILM Visual Effects Supervisor Roger Guyett explained how ILM wanted to improve the special effects&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2689],"tags":[2650],"class_list":["post-26573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-xii","tag-guyett"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xii\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek Into Darkness<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek Into Darkness","comment_count":"2","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26573"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26579,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26573\/revisions\/26579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
