The Enterprise flybys wer done using a motion controlled camera flying past a
*very* large model of the Enterprise, something like 50 feet long. Before Star
Trek, The Next Generation came on the air, Entertainment Tonight did some
behind the scenes shots, one being at Industrial Light and Magic, where the big
model is filmed. It sure is unfortunate that the transfer from the original
film to NTSC introduces so much aliasing effect ( visible around the saucer
section), but my brain shuts that out quite quickly...
