- (We apologize for some of the rough audio in this taping of our live show. The audio mixer at the venue unfortunately distorted audio from some of the microphones.)
On October 25th, we put on our first ever stage show in San Francisco, featuring friends and makers from our community. The first presentation was given by graphic designer Nick Acosta, who imagines how classic science fiction television shows would have looked like if they were shot in epic Cinerama widescreen.

Someone should have Tested the audio.
Sorry again for the clipping audio. We also uploaded Nick's Cinerama images here if you want to see them in full resolution: www.tested.com/art/makers/467435-image-gallery-nicholas-acostas-cinerama-visualizations/
i just cant watch this. maybe you could record new audio for this?
dglenn247
Yeah, they should get everybody back together in a studio and dub it. Great idea.
Nilguiri so, difficult to get Norm and the speaker to record a new audio?
dglenn247 you missed out. it's really cool. the audio isn't that bad yo. just watch it. it's fucking neat!
omichron420 I tried to, it was messing with my head. with seizures and all . I love tested. They are great people, subjects, and podcasts.
What a bunch of ninnies. You can not watch this with out perfect sound? We used to watch TV with Rabbit ears and snow with a rolling frame and it was perfectly fine. This is heads and tales above what some of us grew up with. Ever watch a TV show on VCR Tape? This is 100% better than that. So get over it being to hard to watch for 6 minutes.
My VHS tapes were played and recorded on a 7 head SVHS vcr so it was surround sound Dolby lab stuff which its clarity rivalled CD. :) Not all VHS sucked in the video and audio department. SVHS was equal to DVD in video and audio quality - a decade before DVD took off. DVHS was the same with its 1080pHD video and HQ audio years before HDdvd and BluRay took off. Even as BluRay was taking off and was still very expensive for re-writable discs TV networks exclusively used DVHS for many years - little known fact there! lol But you do have a point, for low end common domestic-grade VHS VCR's yes, they were bollocks! :)
but back then most people would play the VCR at LP to get 6 hours of recorded time out of it for a few night of shows. Not many people who used it to record show would set it up in the best quality mode as more shows aka longer recording time was more important. Back in the Pre DVR days.
I still use rabbit ears on my TV. Only now, instead of getting a perfectly watchable fuzzy image when the signal is low, I get a scrambled, digital hodgepodge that ends up freezing and becomes completely unwatchable. Why did the U.S. government outlaw analog TV signals? It makes absolutely no sense.
yes but television signals rarely chopped the top of the signal off like it seems to be doing in this, having static over an image like with an analog transmission or VHS tape is fine but this is differant.
***** ROFL! I was born in the mid 80s. They only got rid of analog TV in the past six years or so. But I guess a rich person with satellite wouldn't know about that sort of thing.
nice you can really hear the room, makes you feel like you're there and you want to leave
Those are brilliant, absolutely wonderful stills. A brilliant idea.
Beautiful job on the cineramaeristation (it is too a word!). Perhaps in the not too distant future software / hardware will allow full episodes to be converted with extrapolated 3d virtual sets, actors and assets.
Back when HDTV was still in its infancy someone did a widescreen conversion test of I Love Lucy. The static sets made it a perfect vehicle for expansion but the computing power of the time made it impractical.
Dear Tested, next time you need an audio feed, ask the audio guy if he has a press box out. Pretty much a standard in any audio kit for any event that has press attending is a press box. Basically it's a box that takes a mono feed from the audio console and feeds to 6,8,10 outputs with individual levels.
love those Star Trek shots
Its completely watchable. Great presentation.
Brilliant realization of the material, brilliantly brought to screen. Well done, Acosta. Plus: any true-fan of MST3K is a friend of mine.
Thanks Eliot Brown They didn't do a ton of pans on MST3K so that one really hurt to find.
Indeed! Both sets were about 15 feet wide and they used such a wide lens all the time. glad you went to the trouble!
These are absolutely beautiful
you can totally tell when adam is laughing he is the loudest laugher i the room lol
Great job Nick. Beautiful.
Wow amazing vid~ loved how he took the time to stitch them all together
namedcreekrocks I love this stuff; I've been doing this for years with cartoons to make backgrounds for my PC. Of course, doing it with live-action is probably ten times harder and time consuming. It's really fun; you should try it some time.
Very cool, congratulations to Nick on his hard work in showing the Star Trek we all know and love from a slightly different perspective.
If only we could do the same to some radical groups of people, give them a different perspective, then maybe we could get one step closer to that humanistic more Utopian future as depicted in Star Trek.
Right On..
that shot of the Battlestar Galactica fleet would make a great poster
"The real Kahn"... oh, you're one of THOSE fans.
mmmmmhhhhmmm
Just the suave Mexican playing an East Indian that I grew up idolizing.
It just looks so beautiful like that.
This is SO awesome!!
Wait, the original is not the "real" Battlestar Galactica?
WOW! I want to watch a star trek movie in cinerama now. I'm going to hold my tongue and not pick on the distorted audio. That wasn't your fault.
FANTASTIC work. Thanks Nick!
That was really cool!
Its time for a new Star Trek show.
Careful what you wish for
The sound is just fine, thanks for the video share :)
you've set the bar for awesome that much higher with this
Amazing!
well the audio is quite bad, atleast it gets a bit better.
A Cinerama film should be shot in Cinerama in the first place...
That was cool!
Awesome! And I love the use of the final shot from the TNG episode A Fistful of Datas. Nice touch. ^^
nice catch
Blake's 7 could do with that.
So does this mean we will get a re-release of all the TOS episodes in this new widescreen format?
Thanks
Holy CRAP. RIP Headphone users.
This was cool
God damn it Norm!
Seriously, is it possible to use the actual 35mm Film Elements for Star Trek The Original Series and The Next Generation and actually create honest working Cinerama Editions of both series episodes ?
I know they can do it for TNG, but they would basically need to recomposite the whole series.

So are any of these composited shots? Do you plan to showcase completed shots from the shows at some point?
They are all composite shots. You can view them all here. Feel free to download and use them as wallpaper. cargocollective.com/nickacosta
Nick Acosta
Thanks for your reply Nick! I meant are they fully composited motion picture shots, would be cool to see the scenes in this new format!
JurassicCollectables The only way these can be made is by sticking frames together from panning shots from the same camera angle. The images seen across the still are from several seconds of moving film as the camera panned, and composited in photoshop. There is no record of the action happening outside the camera's field of view ever.
True - it'd be neat to fill in the gaps with actors/digi-doubles and create a handful of cinematic versions of the scenes. I originally thought that was what had been done.
Nick Acosta will you be uploading the Cinerama versions of the non-TOS shots you showed, like Battlestar?
Audio is painful. is there a process for cleaning up the audio?
so basically this is just pan and scan in reverse
It's So LOUD in here can you hear me ?
Wow. Dat Gain.
D00d, with teh fuqin' HAAAAAAAAAAANDS, already!!! D^:>
People who like MST3K. Almost EVERY episode is on youtube. =) yw
They're also on "Crackle" for free...legally.
Interstellar SpoilerCast soon?????
Tested If you ever have this issue again, there is software that will remove the reverberation. Here is one example: acondigital.com/products/deverberate/
I dont get the point.
's alright... Some of the stitching is really janky though.
which ones?
Nick Acosta
In the video, The Next Gen ones on the bridge did have one guy looking like he was floating. Still I imagine a lot of wrangling was required.
Nick Acosta There's some tribbles that look very poorly finished, in the pile-o-tribbles shot
Nick Acosta
Also, in the space-cocktail party, the table is funky shaped.
Nick Fils-Aime
Audio a shit.
Shame none of them are moving
Damn use a microphone next time not a banana. It will work better
so So, so when is this cinema gonna be demolished into rubble to make way for new homes for the homeless as cinema is non-essential.
