The eleven-footer at Film Effects of Hollywood.
The days of large-scale miniatures: the above picture is a sample bluescreen shot from a television series called Star Trek. Linwood Dunn's company, with Dunn himself behind the camera, photographed lots of "beauty-pass" material of the USS Enterprise, including this original footage for the first season episode "Space Seed". (The Howard Anderson Company had the model for the two pilot shows and the first few episodes, before it was shipped to Dunn.)
(I worked in 'opticals' as a compositor. While I didn't do billing, I know how much work like the above cost a production company: a lot. The stage work was just the beginning.)
