Renowned [[Hollywood]] [[Director]] Ralph Senenski is spending valuable time building this unique episode with superb shots on camera; including his fisheye [[lens]] camera effect. This fisheye lens effect depicts the viewpoint of a person affected by interspace looking at Spock on the Bridge. Senesnky needed more time than the usual production timeline to complete the episode. However the producer reporting to the studio wouldn't have it, and fired Senenski after 3 days of shooting the episode on August 7, 1968. Herb Wallerstein directed the 4th day of production and beyond. In 2013, Actor / Director [[Bryan Kreutz]], in a telling phone conversation with his friend Director Ralph Senenski, revealed that Senenski told his agent he didn't want to be credited or associated with the Star Trek series for the "Tholian Web" after he was fired by producer Fred Freiberger. So full on screen credit went solely to Herb Wallerstein.
