Yep.  They are doing well with that on the new Battlestar Gallactica
too...as well as giving you a better feel for how big space really is with
those long zoom-in shots of the Gallactica.  You know the think is really
huge...and then you see a starscape or nebula with a tiny dot on it, then
it zooms in and you realize that the tiny dot is that huge spaceship and
your scale meter pegs...
