Whoo! Over 2,000 subscribers! Many Thanks and lets celebrate with a video stealing the Enterprise! I know this scene is already up on YouTube but I try to upload the best in audio/video quality…
The title of this video kind of speaks for itself. But hey why not give a synopsis:
After the events of ST II: WOK, The battered Enterprise rests waiting to be decommissioned. After meeting Spock’s father, Kirk learns that Spock transferred his Katra into McCoy before he sacrificed himself to save the Enterprise. Kirk and company steal the USS Enterprise in order to reach Genesis to recover Spock and restore his Katra.
Meanwhile the Excelsior with the prototype transwarp drive is ordered to stop the Enterprise. Will the gallant crew succeed in Phase I of bringing Spock back to life?
This scene really shows off the wonders of practical effects; using models, green screen, camera work, blending different methods, etc. making it all look as real as possible when compared to CGI. This was when ILM was at its BEST.
I’m currently working on a series of videos showcasing iconic vehicles, ships, fighters, and scenes from the ‘Golden Days of ILM and Special F/X’. Where handcrafted models, creative camera work, getting creative.. or even having full sized props were made for movies. A lot of you know that practical effects when done right still look awesome as shown in the Battle of Endor video. In contrast to today where everything is CGI and there isn’t much charm to it. Don’t get me wrong CGI can be useful for a lot of things. But movies of today is just all CGI. The upcoming videos will have clips gathered from Star Wars, Star Trek, Various Sci-Fi, Batman and action movies. The videos will have specifications, details, and backstories to them. I’m doing the series in a way to showcase practical effects, tell the specs and story of vehicles, while showing iconic scenes, in an attempt to make them fall under the ‘Teaching / Educate’ part of Fair Use.
Sorry for not uploading more; I’ve had a lot going on. As some of you know, last year I started the ongoing journey of life with both parents deceased. So holidays are bound to be rough as this is only my 2nd Christmas without my parents. I also had to deal and wait with YT’s ID content system. I’ve also been having hardware headaches since I switched from Movie Maker to Adobe Premiere Pro CC..apparently my PC is becoming outdated and can barely run Adobe. But stay tuned! This is Prometheus / Robin Hood and I’ll continue to bring to the people!
