Visual Effects of Light Travel: Analyzing "Journey to Edge of Universe

[Randal Smith]

Hi,

Can someone please anlayse the visual effects for light travel in the documentary 'Journey to edge of the universe'

Especially around the 43:12 and the 1:02:20 mark.

Can you also tell me if it is or is not an accurate depiction of what we should be seeing theoretically?

So as you approach the speed of light you start to see some visual effects, terrell rotation, angular compression, doppler shift, headlight effect. Are the scenes that I have mentioned an accurate depiction of any of these effects?

 

[Orodruin]

No.

 

[Randal Smith]

No.

Can you explain why and what I should be seeing?

Thanks, are the colours meant to change as you approach c as seen in the video? like green then blue then purple etc. Shouldn't we just see a rainbow effect due to the doppler effect?
