The crash landing of the Enterprise's upper saucer was filmed using a model of the saucer and a landscape model carved out of foam. The saucer was mounted by a rod to a truck which was driven under the landscape, with the rod going through a groove at the bottom of the model. However, driving the saucer all the way to where they wanted this to stop would have destroyed the camera. To fix this, a mirror was mounted where the camera would have been, and the Enterprise was built backwards so that it would appear correct when reflected in the camera. Instead of destroying the camera, the saucer section destroyed the mirror instead.
