enterprise reference footage for modellers

Video I pieced together from vintage footage showing the Enterprise from the original series. The blue screen shots taken with studio lighting probably gives the best depiction of the actual colouring, allowing of course for the age of the film.

At 2:03, it's very interesting how the nacelle lighting effect changed, as seen in test footage, with a more heavily white frosted domes and a swirling effect rather than the later spinning 12 ribs lit from behind by a series of incandescent Christmas lights of different colors that we all know today. Clearly they were trying different things to see what looked better in terms of color. You can see later in the test footage them working with just the blinking colored lights, but no spinning ribs, etc. The shadow fill effects finally show us the amber tinted (inside) domes, with light white frosted outside painted domes, and the spinning ribs over blinking lights. It's obvious they were iterating based on the test footage results.

In principle, it's the same effect for both. A stationary model filmed a against a blue screen. The model remains stationary, while the camera on a guide track provides the motion.

@DSGNflorian Жыл бұрын

It's fascinating to see the original blue screen background footage because it really gives a sense of how difficult it was to set up usable camera passes on account of that model being so large. The relatively small size of the stage didn't help. That huge, 11-foot "miniature" really needed a bigger set-up with a curved, cyclorama-style blue screen backdrop. I'm glad these shots of the iconic Enterprise have been preserved. Star Trek is a national, even global treasure indeed. The digital CGI remaster was well-intentioned but has aged even worse than the original analog special effects, which by now have taken on a charm and aesthetic of their own that makes them compelling to see for an audience used to hyper-realistic CGI. The Enterprise takes on such a beautiful, otherworldly glow in the final composited shots and the graininess from the optical printer process actually adds a level of depth and detail quality all its own that is completely lost in those boring CGI renderings with their flat grey coloring and lifeless movements. The opening sequence suffers the worst for it. The original high speed passes used in the opening sequence of the 2nd and 3rd seasons still hold up very well and manage to covey a sense of speed and outer space depth of field that's completely lacking in the CGI remasters. I wonder if that raw footage still exists. I'm very curious how that was done. I would guess that was done with the "lost" 3-foot model fixed to some rolling dolly on a slanted track or rig almost like slot cars, gathering momentum as it was going down that track to rush by a stationary camera because there is so much blur and distortion in the individual frames. That tells me that it must have been filmed with actual fast movement. If anyone knows, please share! CBS-Paramount should do the right thing and pull those awful digitally remastered episodes and release them with "cleaned up" versions of the original footage. It would be the appropriate "stewardship" for this legendary piece of pop culture.

@willmfrank Жыл бұрын

The "Swish!" shots were indeed done with the 33-inch model. It would probably have been stationary in its rig, with the camera on rails, like the shots of the eleven-foot model. The blur and distortion were most likely the result of undercranking and a wide-angle lens.

@DSGNflorian Жыл бұрын

@@willmfrank Possibly, there are a few ways this could have been achieved. The whole TOS opening sequence (2nd season) still intrigues me to this day. It's an artistic triumph, visually, musically and Shatner's iconic narration over it. It's obvious that extra care went into making it, particularly into the alignment between the traveling matte and the "starship fill", which was often pretty sloppy throughout the series, with portions of the Enterprise occasionally "blinking out" or a lot of dust and scratches visible from the optical printer pass.

A page of drawings, reproduced in "Star Trek Sketchbook The Original Series" and labelled "Antique space freighter" shows that the ship was designed to carry sixteen of them, that could be added or removed as required. Three more would be mounted atop the present five, forming a full octagon, with a matching eight attached to the octagonal section behind. What is never mentioned in the episode is what happened to those missing eleven paniers.

Green screen had been around for decades preceding the 1960s Star Trek, as had sodium backing screen, red infra screen, black screen, rear projection, front projection, bipack and other processes. Blue screen was comparatively economical and easier to comply with the optical printer passes needed to complete the effect. Blue worked well for compositing and was more economical and accessible for the photochemical duping processes needed to combine the elements. Computer digital processing made green screen popular but most manner of travelling mattes can b economically done, or simulated, in the digital realm.

@@Durwood71 Bluescreen was better for the color filmstock separations that they had to run through the optical printer to create the travelling matte passes and final superimposition shots. There was generally less blue in the foreground elements especially when involving people or animals or other sources of heat such as light and radiant and ambient reflections, such as with studio lighting, and blue could be filtered out of the bluescreen shots with less bleedthrough than with green and other color separation backing travelling matte shots. Computers using digital travelling matte compositions however can filter green very quickly and effectively and could be adjusted for both hot and cold lighting environments.
