This was what I thought they were going to do in 2009. Instead of that godawful eyesore! I hear JJ is coming back to make another craptastic Trek pile. Guess who won't be giving him any more of my money? All you JJ fans can make all the excuses you want, but it was a watered, and dumbed down steaming pile of Targh Shit!
@Saracen11 You have a good ear, that's exactly what it is. Moonraker. Barry was one of my favorite composers. It was a shame he passed away a few months ago.
Beautiful! Now THAT'S the Enterprise! Not that misshapen, bloated, disproportionate kitbash of a caricature in JJ Abrams' Star Trek parody. The original E would have held up just fine on the big screen with moderate tweaking for a modern audience. There was no need to take the E through the Mickey Mouse school of design for the new movie. It was totally unnecessary. This ship is gorgeous! I am sure Matt Jeffries would be proud of this rendering.
Now that's a beautiful ship! It should have been considered for the last movie. But if they wanted something that had to look a little different I'd go with Koerner's version.
It was a visual treat watching your beautiful work... it was such a joy to see my Enterprise live like that! You are so talented! Thank you for sharing your incredible vision!
That version of the Enterprise is my favorite too,
Jayce6470... it is, in fact, pretty much what my model currently looks like (although I've made even more mods since that 13-second sequence was rendered back in 2007)... you can click thorugh to my YouTube account to see what she currently looks like. :)
Oh GOD no. I'm having enough trouble finishing the effects do-over on a 60 minute episode of "trek"... I'd be ready for retirement before I could do the enter JJ Abrams movie!! LOL
Isn't looking bad? Scott's work is amazing! He is one of the few people (him, Daren Dochterman, and the (rest of the) Star Trek Phase 2 Team (Daren's done some phenomenal stuff for us)) who I think truly understand that ship and know how to make each shot of her beautiful.
I think it would hold up. The original enterprise has always been very visually appealing with the flashy nacelles, the deflector dish, and the bright hull color.
If your REALLY want it to sound good, type in &fmt=18 at the end of the url of this video, it puts the video in HQ AND full stereo sound. This works with a lot of the videos on youtube.
IMHO, not to slight the efforts of Daren Dochterman or the crews behind "New Voyages" and the other fan films, but Scott has created the best looking Enterprise I've ever seen.
His remake of "The Doomsday Machine" looks like it could kick CBSD's version right off the field.
CBS did many of the CGI work with cheap look, to intentionaly allow Paramount to remake the effects 10 years later, to get money once again from a new future edition.
A really cool rendering of the TOS Enterprise. Kudos to Scott Gammans for recreating it.

What John Barry piece is playing in the background? It sounds like it's from Moonraker but I'm not sure.
