The special featured several ILM staffers at the time of preparation of filming the destruction of the Old Bandi City maquette for the pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint" . Interestingly, some of the footage of this shoot was edited out for this particular release, though much of it was incorporated later on as part of the much later 2002 TNG Season 1 DVD-special feature, "The Beginning". On the other hand, the only interview in this special, the one with Visual Effects Supervisor David Carson was longer than the one featured on the DVD release.
