@davidls11 they did, in TNG
This was an excellent clip, on an excellent topic, with a more so excellent offer. Thank you so much. Godspeed!
Check out my recreation of the original transporter at youtube site /leonado2
Yeah when they first started off they did Alka Seltzer when it was just a few then they moved onto The Glass with Gliter.
I WANT THE UNIFORM WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

yes, that what I heard on the DVD bonus material. They just shaked a jar of glitter and filmed it. They later cut it on and added it to the contur of the actor, beeing transported.
I think they did both: you can actually see two different TOS effects in the video. One is sort of finer and more clear and the other is sort of clumpy. I couldn’t get either method exactly right, but my alka seltzer shots were closer. I still need to play some more to get it right.
Good video. But Alka Seltzer? I always thought they swirled glitter around in a glass.
Very fetching uniform! Sure to get some phasers up
Great video Eric!
