I think I hear the background music for the Doom's Day Machine. Thanks to who ever posted this. I create animations with green screen. The blue screen was the 1960's thing. Great video.

FANTASTIC!!!!! THANKS!

There is a little red phaillic object sticking out of the bottom of the of the ventral sensor dome, that despite having been watching this ship since childhood I had never seen. I'm not alone though. The object was never depicted in most of the models, diagrams and blueprints of the 1701 over 50 some odd years. For instanceThe object that's there, In a real world military, it would invariably be referred to as a "donkey dick". Does anyone have any historical idea or official idea of what the thing is supposed to be? What Jeffries intended?

Music from the dooms day machine episode. Show was definitely ahead of its time.

Love it. I wonder how long it took the model designers to build that very expensive model.

Whats funny is that none of the previous suggestions would look good. The model of the enterprise would STILL look weird and the CGI model looks like a hotwheels. Matter of fact! Paramount was never giving them the money to digitally enhance the original effects. So they gave them enough for “alright” CGI

It’s amazing what they could do with the models and film back then. The show always looks so realistic to me.

Great work for the time that still stands out as every original. It's a shame Paramount is trying now to erase it by replacing it with CGI.

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.

I hope you'll credit the Roddenberry Vault Blu-ray set from CBS Home Entertainment, which collected, produced, and edited this footage.

Super interesting!

😅😅😅😅well information good show you 😅

I just noticed 7 minutes in that both nacelles rotate counter-clockwise. I thought it was generally accepted that the nacelles rotate counter to each other?

That poor slob laying on the ground turning cranks is the only man to have ACTUALLY piloted the Enterprise!

wish i had this 20 years ago...

This is amazing! where is this soundtrack available?

I just nerded in my pants. Love this history.

Bridge Enterprise, NCC-1701 no bloody ABC orD!!

This is brilliant! Love it!!

Why didn't they use this footage for the Bu-rays instead of the unconvincing CGI. A lot of this work was lost in the terrible processing of the time. Using this in the restored/remastered episodes would have given it a chance to shine and show all the work and of course what we were missing.

Outstanding! Thank you.

It’s a shame that the detailing on the Botany Bay didn’t register correctly in the original version.

That 180 turn…

The shot seen at 5.59 looks quite like some shots seen later in Star Trek The Motion Picture, and would look fantastic with a large planet in space composited behind it.

The original effects were state of the art for the time. No other TV show spent that kind of money on optical printing. Compare it to say _Lost in Space_ which just used a fiberglass flying saucer hung from piano wire in front of a black curtain with white Christmas tree lights in the background..

i love this, any way you could send me the video?

I Knew it! It was all federation consipiracy to make up believe it was real, next their gonna tell us the Kromorian Fangor Beast is fake omg

This is how you create magic.

They have blue screen back in 1966 already??

Love this..They had the motion, just not the control..this must have inspired Dykstra (among other things) to a degree..

So much fun. thank you. The music was such an important part of the show.

Where did you find this footage? This footage didn't seem to show up anywhere for so long! Great job!

HalleluYaH HalleluYaH HalleluYaH HalleluYaH HalleluYaH EXCELLENT Job Team of Behind The Scenes, Your Are The Back Bone of the Show as far as i am Concerned. Shalom, Chayim, Blessings

Thank you Nik

What were they thinking not using the Model Footage again for the Remastered Version it’s unbelievable You know they could have also used the Unused Footage of the Models too

Fantastic! Such a gorgeously designed ship - great behind the scenes footage of the raw film before effects. Thank you for posting!

What an incredible behind the scenes look that I thought I would never see. Thank you

Adam Savage talked about viewing this model in the Smithsonian. It was made of wood, and Still Holds Up 60+ yrs later. Amazing! Thanks for sharing these great tests and passes.

So glad she was saved... Could have easily ended up in pieces in a Desilu dumpster... She's a real Lady...

New interprise in acción,

very very cool

all scene deleted replaced by 3d in DVD verssion SHAME !!!!!!!!!!!

Shame we don't see it anymore since its CGI .. I Swear that shit god dated 10x faster than the models did ... sure there are some bad shots here and there during battle scenes but the core ship ones were amazing

I’m always amazed at how photogenic that model is, and also what they were able to accomplish with relatively primitive SFX camera equipment. This was a VERY ambitious production, that managed to do quite a lot with a limited budget.

Botany Bay is like the Highpoint carbine. Something designed by the Jenai off of Stargate Atlantis.

Wow. I never realized just how small Capt. Kirk and the crew were. Seeing these guys laying under the ship really puts it into perspective. 😁

It’s such a shame the “upgraded” FX are so bad and replaced this snapshot of special effects from the 60’s

I'm still looking for that really long pull they did for the opening flyby.. they went through several studios and I think ended up outside before they stopped. I noticed the CGI exchange for the mirror pass. Too bad they didn't use the footage they filmed.. it looked good on bluescreen.

Do we know the name of the crew who made these shots? Where are them? Do they know how much entertainment they brought to us all?
