Douglas Trumbull wanted the V'Ger cloud to have a specific shape to it - "it couldn't just be a blob of cotton," he said, "it had to have some shape that you could get camera angles on." A special camera support track was built that could pan and focus over a forty by eighty feet (12 by 24 meters) piece of art, with the light strobed to provide depth. While the team planned on compositing multiple passes to provide physical movement to the cloud shots, Trumbull felt that this detracted from the sense of scale, and so small animations were subtly introduced in the final product.
