DgarTo keep costs down, most episodes of Star Trek were filmed on Earth instead of on location in outer space.

Ashwin DixitAlso, the Ferengi drive a hard bargain, and could not be signed up.
So they hired human actors with prosthetic foreheads on their real heads.
@purrperl Morn volunteered though. He did it for his love of the creative arts and enjoyed supporting the actors. What a legend.

Not only that but most of the aliens were replaced with humans under weird makeup, hairdos or rubber suits.

And then somebody got fired for using expensive dyes instead of cheap lead paint.

unlofl [Promoted Toot]@dgar However, most scenes on Cardassia were filmed on location, due to lax labor laws and the ability to hire non-union extras. This was also partially subsidized by the Cardassian Ministry of Information who were reportedly fine with "being portrayed as the bad guys, as long as we look tough and ruthless."

@dgar the second false assumption is, that it was filmed on the move. Because of the Trek part. In reality it was a stationary production, mostly on some parking property of the studios, however Star Station, Star Stationary and Star Parking Lot fell through because the fans didn't had any good reactions to them. The first movie shows how problematic this three concepts are...
