Interesting article about the fountain from Star Trek III

[Felderburg]

Occidental College's alumni magazine has an article about the creation of the fountain seen on Vulcan in The Search for Spock, as well as some info about its refurbish:

How fascinating (no pun intended)! I had just thought it was a set construction, so it's good to find out that Water Forms II was another 'actor' - thanks, @Felderburg

I was on holiday in USA in December 1983/January 1984 and attended a Creation Convention in New York City with my penpal's sister. I won an auction of random "Star Trek III" call sheets for the as-yet unreleased movie - and they contained several big secrets (including scenes towards the end of the movie with an unknown actor named Frank Force* playing "Nacluv" - hehehehe. Yay, anagrams!). One of the call sheets also had detailed instructions for how the cast and crew could find "The Steps of Mount Selaya" at Occidental College.

* The frankest force in the galaxy, of course, is credited in the movie as the voice of the USS Excelsior turbo lift.

I don't recall seeing it in TSFS. During which scene was it featured?

The long shot of the procession with Spock's body, levitated on its litter by the Vulcan priestesses.

A lovely find. This needs to be in a Titan book with orthos of the newest CGI refit for TMP
