Correct. It’s not CGi.
Wasn’t it sugar or salt, not glitter? It needed to dissolve in water
Sparkles, according to the video
Ooh like the vampires! Right?
Right? Hel… Hello? Why’s everyone leaving?
As a Trekkie, thank you. That is acutally really interesting!

ST:TNG Behind the Scenes with LeVar Burton
These scenes are actually clipped from Reading Rainbow S06E01 “The Bionic Bunny Show” in which LeVar describes the process of making a television show. They show the transporter effect starting at 9:30.
One of my favorite episodes of Reading Rainbow when I was a kid!!
Exactly what I was just about to say. This episode was a big deal when it happened because I had been watching Reading Rainbow for years and loved to see LeVar on TNG. That’s a never forget crossover episode right there
He was the Navigator?!?!? I’m having a serious Mandela effect here, I’m SURE he was an engineer
Edit: And, in a curious coincidence, I just received a text from LaVar via MoveOn about Banned Book Week (he is, unsurprising, against banning books)
Navigator in the first season. Then he gets a promotion to chief engineer.
