Since I've been suggested to, to combine threads together, if they're of a similar project, I think I'll dedicate this thread to just TOS remastering projects...
The first video is (My VFX - Star Trek: TOS "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (Complete))
Preview:
So, the thumbnail for the thread will change for each finished TOS remastering video... the thumbnail for the previous projects post, will be then put image tag... and their will be a link to the post, of the corresponding thumbnail, at the time.
Which episode do you think I should do next... I'm leaning towards "
Tomorrow is Yesterday," "
Balance of Terror," or "
The Tholian Web, "
The Trouble with Tribbles."

Personally, I'd love to see The Tholian Web next. Those are all great choices but I really love the web spinning part of the effects shots and can't wait to see how you do it. :cool:
I was trying to stay with how the original show looked, whilst still doing it in CG.
I did a shot from the episode a while back, Oct. 2, 2007 to be exact:
But I didn't do any more from it.

I mean when they did Star Trek: Remastered, they changed alot of the exterior ship and planet shots to than blended in better and didnt seem so re hashed.
If you choose, Balance of Terror, do something we havent seen yet, and time to put your own stamp on it
You've shown that you can match shot for shot, but I would like to see you do something with a Zing
I have put some thought into it, like just now, the shot of the Enterprise traveling at impulse after their encounter with the barrier, is the shot from the remastered episode, and not the stock shot from the original version of the show.
Well, when I change things to much, they just never seem right to me, for some reason, they seem off...
However, as for the barrier in the remastered version, I wish I knew how they made the barrier gaseous looking, I can't seem to find any way to do that, and volumetrics never show up right, and are to limited...

It's finally done, I'll be redoing some of my other TOS videos, that I had to remove, due to a persons request over using their model... so expect to see them redone next.

The effects look awesome, great work. My favorite parts are the orbiting shots, orbiting Earth and orbiting Sol. Though, everything looks great.
Yea, but sometimes, that's life, I guess.
Well, the replacement being used is KnightRider's TOS Connie.
Thanks.

I'm thinking of doing some more Voyager videos next... then I may come back to more TOS stuff...

It's interesting, but I don't think about how few effects shots with the ship that some of these episodes have, that one doesn't have a whole lot compared to some of the episodes. I never realized that until I saw them all in a row like that.
Yea, it doesn't have a lot of shots.

In comparison to the old version:
I do notice a drastic different in quality, especially when it comes to ambient type things, like in the original version, to get the darker side to appear lighter than black, I just increased Max's ambient color... now instead of doing that, I use GI, and in this version 2 as it were, using AO... drastic differences...

Moving onto 'The Doomsday Machine' FX... what I plan on doing is using the remastered sequences as reference, but giving it the 60s look like this video.

I wish someone would change that so that the ship is at a correct angle, and flies by and away in a natural and believable way, much like the flyby of the Defiant in "In A Mirror, Darkly". Pics below to illustrate:
I mean, IMO, the whole point of remastering TOS, is to make it more realistic, not to keep the VFX as cheezy. Just my two cents. As I said, I like your approach... I just wish people would address that flyby bit with more realism.
Well, when they remastered it, they didn't want to change it too much, while they wanted to improve it, they still wanted to honor the original... as do I... many people weren't thrilled with what they did for TOS-R... the first few episodes had the same FOV as the original shots, then they got creative... in the remastered episode of "Miri" the FOV shots of the Enterprise look closer to the original, just in CG...
TNG's flyby's during the credits are the same way... although at a more straight forward angle to the camera...

Yeah, all of that. I like your work because it's an homage to the original. I liked Balance of Terror from TOS-R but and a few others where they did the effects like the original, but I don't care for their more "creative" approaches. In fact, I stopped watching those after a while.
True, true.
