STAR TREK TMP - THE ENTERPRISE - A Space Opera (CGI Animation)

  • For the 10th anniversary of my Space Opera video I released a new edition.
    The Space Dock Scene (or Drydock ?) from STAR TREK - THE MOTION PICTURE comes as a complete recreation this time. All VFX shots are new rendered and all scenes were left original, even the wrong shots of the earth were modeled exactly.
    Since the lighting in the 2021 remastered 4K version of the film is significantly different than in the 2013 Blue Ray, I decided to readjust the lighting and chose something in between.
    Have fun with the new version.
    If you would like to support me and my work, you are welcome to become a channel member. Thank you very much.

      Just as an 'alternate universe' theme, would like to see a USS Hornet CV-12 leave the docks. As in the original CV-12 was taken off her museum status, melted down, her steel was used in the construction of a starship, and was allowed to keep her old registration number.

    There will never be another like her again.
    When we saw this in the theater opening day, people were crying when they saw her again after 10 years. It was like we had come home again. The crowd cheering, as she finally began to move to leave the space dock, it was an awesome moment.
    You just don't see that kind of thing in a movie anymore. I miss this crew, and those days.

    People will claim that the tour of the exterior of the Enterprise is boring, I completely disagree. The movie/Refit Constitution is a thing of beauty. Its and the departure from Earth are among my favorite scenes from TMP. I can never tire of looking at this version of the Enterprise.

    • @Spoon2006
      @Spoon2006 10 місяців тому +4

      I don't know how anyone can say the exterior shots are boring, it's an iconic ship that has history and is a character of its own. Add the iconic music and you get the flood of emotions as kirk and scotty returns home. I've seen people making models of the refit enterprise and it takes months to do everything from fitting the leds, interior that you can see through the windows and getting that aztec paint shinning.

    • @pgiovanettijr
      @pgiovanettijr 10 місяців тому +4

      Roddenberry had always said the Enterprise was meant to be as much of a character in the show as any of the living ones depicted by the actors. However, the various constraints of a television show (strict time limits, budgets, VFX limitations of the day, etc.) meant the ship never really got it's moment to shine in TOS. I feel like this bit was added to TMP as way of both rectifying that minor injustice while simultaneously showing off the improvements in VFX technology.

      I agree, even better than Enterprise D, to me it was just too big of a ship, my biggest issue with that ship is that the nacelles sit way too far down under the saucer, but this design has always been the best and for a main crew of 6 just screwing around in space exploring different planets, this ship is just perfect for that.

  • @tomlewenz4121

    It doesn’t seem like many of you get what these folks have done here. They took a beautiful film that had flawed effects and bad mattes and made it perfect. I remember seeing the Earth showing through the ship in the original version as well as edges bouncing. You’ve fixed a grand ol lady and made her beautiful. Thank you!!

  • @NickThompson-m4h
    @NickThompson-m4h 6 місяців тому +6

    I'm so glad others like this sequence in TMP as much as I do. Those who think it is too long just don't get it IMO. This was the first time we had seen the 'new' Enterprise. Kirk's reaction is perfect. I love the way the ship is partly hidden by the space dock and slowly revealed. Excuse me for getting a little romantic, but it makes me think of seeing your first love across a crowded room for the first time in ten years. Fantastic sequence and a fantastic video. Thank you so much.

    YES! You added the shadow on the Enterprise from the little pod gliding by. I was disappointed they didn't fix that in the Directors Cut or even in the 4k. But glad they fixed the disappearing space dock to the starboard side of the ship as it leaves the space dock.

    Wow! What a difference ten years makes in the quality of the lighting models and rendering engine makes. This one looks pretty much every bit as good as the miniature shots did in the original. Pretty hard to tell the difference with one exception, there was real scale to the lighting effects in this one, something that was always very hard to get right with miniature photography (that's why the trench chase in Star Wars was shot outdoors). Also, focus is never an issue in CG (unless you want depth of field effects) that also adds to that sense of scale.

    I liked it! Hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since the first one. I get a bit choked up watching either, because what you clearly added to the anniversary edition was the pride of Montgomery Scott showing off his beauty to the Captain and Kirk’s emotional return to his ship. While I liked the space station, the close up of the Enterprise leaving, I miss the moon and the ship going to warp. Since I was a child I’ve always known, it’s about the ship! Captains of aircraft and of ships will tell you… it’s the ship! This was a fine rendering and another one to add to my favorites..
