obviously you used a consumer pc(companies always have more advance tech than the public obviously,even in today's world,but there is a few things i can't mention here)anyway,i know its a fan made thing & thats ok,we all have our favorite shows,movies,etc(the 2009 movie was great too & i can't wait for its sequel.)
The only thing I would change in them would be longer bursts or some longer bursts mixed in! And maybe slow down the enterprise when it's going through the debris field. Either way I love the show so I had to dig out mine so I could finish the episode!
Holy S%*T! I really hate change but I did like the enhanced version I watched a few years back but this is AMAZING!!!! Before whining about it people need to know there will always be the original versions which I will keep and continue to watch over and over. But this....If they don't have you do all of them then they are RETARDS! That was a bad ASS DOOMSDAY MACHINE!!! I would have liked to see how you would have blown it up when Kirk went into it! I also liked the phaser test videos as well.
The CGI here is very good, on a par with Remastered. My one nit-pick would be in the new effects matching up with existing dialogue. If the Connie were as badly mangled as the new effects suggest, Scotty would have had something to say about that. I speak of such things as the big bites taken out of the saucer section. But finally, the damage to the Connie's bridge matches the episode dialogue.
@PrfMoriarty You expect Spock to make an *assumption*? Not only is that out of character for him (it wasn't until Star Trek IV, 16 years after this story, that he was comfortable making a guess!), it's also a bad habit for a starship science officer. He wouldn't report that the Constellation was wrecked by the same thing as the planets until he knew for certain, or at least until he had more information to make an estimate. :)
GREAT job, professor! Beautiful renders of the Enterprise. Well chosen and executed "liberties" taken with ship movement and "camera". I especially liked how, instead of cutting away from the Constellation TO the Enterprise at 4:25 like the original, you stayed on the Constellation and had the Enterprise move into frame on its approach course. Excellent!
I think CBS did a great job with the remastering...but I wish they were yet a little more adventurous in their creating new angles etc.
This feels to much like I'm going from real-live shots of actors to animation. Even to Original looked more real as archaic as they look compared to todays CGI. As good as the new shots look...they still look too animated. Like a video game looks today.
Well although it is refreshing to see peoples ideas on how a segment from TOS should've been shot, it still looks to animated for my tastes. It's more like the cartoon from the 70s then a 'real' shot of the Enterprise in space.
Huh! I was alway more of an Excelsior/EnterPrise-B kinda guy, but after seeing your reboot, I've gotta take another look. This is great. Thanks for posting!
Watch closely... scattered throughout this entire series, look at the MAKEUP of the crew. People of all races, colors, genders and creeds in positions of responsibility.
This was one of Roddenberry's prime beliefs, and one thing that makes the series so enduring
The ONE thing that all the cgi can't improve on are those smokin' Star Trek babes from the 1960's and their miniskirt uniforms! The original Star Trek is still the Gold Standard in so many ways.
@InfiniteMushroom if you ever watch the episode on the planet that went nazi [ john gill violated the prime directive ] the nazi headquarters building is the writers building at paramount thats where the producers "auditioned " actresses
4:55 Spock sez the bridge is destroyed but the bubble on top looks intact and sez the rest of the ship can sustain life but ther e is a big chunk burned out of the decks below the air could escape 4:14
@Chris9183 It was not a 'virus' but essentially, a giant cell. And as spacepatrolman says, it was called "The Immunity Syndrome". There was also an episode of the animated series called "One of Our Planets Is Missing". Both were quite good.
@spacepatrolman Airtight doors and bulkheads keep the air inside. The bridge bubble could be intact but, intense vibration could have ruined everything inside.
You are doing some awesome work here. I agree with others who say this is better, Much Better than Paramount did on their remastered episodes. Your doomsday machine design is fantastic, as well as the ships. WOW!!!
The true story of the green tunic is that it's the original color of command division. The material that was used in the standard command tunics reflected light differently than that used in the wrap around tunics and the dress uniforms and no amount of color correction could fix it. That's why they appear gold and Kirk's casual tunic is green.
Outstanding CG results. Too bad there was nothing like this back when the original series was made. It might not have gone off the air, and we would have many YEARS of material beyond the pitiful 76 episodes before cancellation. Well done!
i think you did a great job, it look so awsome IMO
I have done things like this (remake of my favorite shows) but never shared them, was not sure how to do the copyrights... so my question is, have any one given you any issue, with the way you phased it?
CONGRATULATIONS Sir!!! You did an excellent job. I have enjoyed your labor of love. You are a talented individual. I like your version more than the official restored version.
@berboma They released several soundtrack CD's a number of years ago. I think music from "The Doomsday Machine" was among them. Try Amazon, I-Tunes and the usual sources.
This is just plain "PRETTY"!!! Much better that the Remastered episode! Why didn't they just get your copy? Oh, cuz it would have made the rest of their redo's look like shit and they would've had to step up their game.
I can't take my eye off this beautiful Enterprise! Thank you for picking this episode to work on; it's my favorite episode in the entire franchise. Please remaster Balance of Terror
Fantastic! However your depiction of the Constellation floating in an asteroid field with no shields raises the question of why it wasn't pulverized before the Enterprise found it.
This is an excellent effort, and most certainly worth preserving for future generations.
The official remasters are still excellent works in their own right, but its nice to see a single artist take it one step further and deliver a "what if we pulled out all the stops?" effort.
It's a sad day for CBS when they pay FX people to re-imagine the graphics of a 60s TV series and the fans of that same science fiction series do it better as a hobby!
I'm impressed. I prefer elements in yours over the Remastered version. I particularly like the nebulous star field in the destroyed solar system. I also noticed you had the same elements elsewhere. I also prefer your opening credits. The Remastered version seems true to the original credit sequence, i.e. the ship's angle of approach - but I always thought it looked wrong. Like it comes at us a little sideways. Well done & thanks for posting. Looking forward to seeing the DD Machine itself...
@thesportslover67 I'm 17 and I just got into the series. Thank god the Space channel is still playing episodes from all of the series and in order every weekday.
The Shat started wearing green as he was gaining weight, and needed new regular shirts. Hides a girdle real well don't ya think. Honestly that reason might better rest with The family of William Ware Thiess or possibly James Cawley over at Phase II.
You said in your description: "...buy the Blu-Ray season box sets (of the official remastered episodes). They are totally awesome!" Wrong - YOUR version is the one that's awesome! The scenes of the Constellation are incredible, particularly the Constellation / Enterprise sequence at the point where the episode title appears. You did a truly incredible job, and I'm only sorry I don't work for CBS, or else I'd hire you in a second! Phenomenal and fantastic work!!
@RovingCounter One of the most popular ones, for certain. My personal Top Five are (in no particular order) "The Trouble with Tribbles", "Balance of Terror", "The Doomsday Machine", "City on the Edge of Forever", and "The Ultimate Computer."
A really wonderful job! I particularlly liked the transition after the credits from Constellation to Enterprise--very inspired and it matched the music perfectly, which isn't always the case in the official remastered version. Hope you finish the project!
@shurednichso The story I heard was that during the off season, Shatner stayed in shape, but during the shooting season, he gained, er, tonnage. The wrap-around was an attempt to hide his weight gain.
@shurednichso Just a guess but I think a different style uniform was required for the episode "Enemy Within". The two kirks would have been confusing with the same style uniform. I did read that the tunic was intended to be gold but was thrown in the wash with another color uniform and turned green. Don't remember the source.
@shurednichso ......Believe it or not,the "Gold"tunic we would normally see was a "Greenish-Gold"The stock film ,lighting conditions back then made it look Gold.That's why the formal tunic is green,the wrap-around variant is green and the regular duty tunic was green-gold......Hope that helps.
This episode follows directly (in air date) from s2 ep5 "The Apple" and "Mirror Mirror" in which he was wearing the ambassador dress as part of his meeting with the inhabitants of those planets - the mining of dilithium crrystals in Mirror Mirror, and in The Apple - along the same lines to greet the inhabitants.
@shurednichso I think of it as the "casusal" version of the uniform. You know how in the next generation counselor troi wears that one piece uniform? Well this is that era's version of the captain's uniform. I guess you could also compare it to Capt Picard's casual appearance of red jacket and grey uniform underneath. Just what I think.
When this episode was originally made, they needed another star-ship mock-up so they went to a hobby store and bought an "Enterprise" that they put different decals on.
Much of the damage was affected by cigarette smoke and burns!!
You did a great job on "The Doomsday Machine" which is generally considered to be the most beloved Star Trek episode; the special effects you did are FANTASTIC!
Not only are they done well technically, they're also done very, very tastefully; they really do help further the story along rather than just being there for a "whiz-bang" effect.
Amazing! I'm usually against new fx in old movies/series', but this is how CBS should have done it! Your fx are absolutely fantastic, I think they should hire you to replace those horrible new fx that are on the BluRays!
wow.not bad.constellation"s been trashed...looks like what happened to starfleet @ wolf 359.(I'm sooo geeking out here..lol) very well done. know that there are three parts to this,is there more of this enhanced episode anywhere?
Those behind teh CBS digital effects could learn a thing or two from you... Your work is by far superior in every way. You have a grasp not only of digital animation but of the dramatic context that sells these effects.
Amazing job! Makes the experience feel very different from the way it looked to me as I guess i've watched this episode a hundred times in the last 35 years....
Beautiful! I was especially struck by the shot of the Enterprise flying through the asteroidal debris of the destroyed solar system (about 01:31 - 01:36, with the debris transiting the wonderfully rendered sun) and the planetary flybys during opening credits (about 03:30 - 03:40, particularly the last bit). But it is ALL beautiful. Excellent work.
There is way too much backlighting on the Enterprise, as details that should be in deep shadow are a little too clearly visible. Harsher deeper shadowing would definitely help the reality, making the ships more distinct and realistic.
PLEASE keep this up. I really like what you're doing with the FX. (Gotta love that shot of the Enterprise flying right at us in the title sequence!) I'd ask you if you wanted to go all-out and animate the ship's monitors, but that's kinda a lot of work for someone doing this solely because he loves the series.
One of my all time favorite episodes, William windom does an excellent job of acting. Interesting to read that Windom was never a fan of the show and says the doomday machine seemed kind of silly and he acted as if he were in a cartoon.
Excellent work, better than CBS Digital. I give you a 9 out of 10. Why not a 10 you may ask? Too many asteroids, especially when the Enterprise is being chased by the Doomsday Machine - this makes the screen look cluttered and busy, beyond what would be optimal. Cut the number by about half and it would have been perfect.

I did read that the tunic was intended to be gold but was thrown in the wash with another color uniform and turned green. Don't remember the source.

@shurednichso It's his casual uniform.

@shurednichso ......Believe it or not,the "Gold"tunic we would normally see was a "Greenish-Gold"The stock film ,lighting conditions back then made it look Gold.That's why the formal tunic is green,the wrap-around variant is green and the regular duty tunic was green-gold......Hope that helps.

This episode follows directly (in air date) from s2 ep5 "The Apple" and "Mirror Mirror" in which he was wearing the ambassador dress as part of his meeting with the inhabitants of those planets - the mining of dilithium crrystals in Mirror Mirror, and in The Apple - along the same lines to greet the inhabitants.

@shurednichso So like it's the "I've just got back" look, and stuff's already happening - no rest for Kirk! lol

@shurednichso I think of it as the "casusal" version of the uniform. You know how in the next generation counselor troi wears that one piece uniform? Well this is that era's version of the captain's uniform. I guess you could also compare it to Capt Picard's casual appearance of red jacket and grey uniform underneath. Just what I think.

When this episode was originally made, they needed another star-ship mock-up so they went to a hobby store and bought an "Enterprise" that they put different decals on.
Much of the damage was affected by cigarette smoke and burns!!

You did a great job on "The Doomsday Machine" which is generally considered to be the most beloved Star Trek episode; the special effects you did are FANTASTIC!
Not only are they done well technically, they're also done very, very tastefully; they really do help further the story along rather than just being there for a "whiz-bang" effect.

I like when that tall, brunette beach bunny walks by at 1:40; she must've been like 19-20 years old at the time!!
How old is she now; over 60 I would suppose.

Amazing! I'm usually against new fx in old movies/series', but this is how CBS should have done it! Your fx are absolutely fantastic, I think they should hire you to replace those horrible new fx that are on the BluRays!

Those behind teh CBS digital effects could learn a thing or two from you... Your work is by far superior in every way. You have a grasp not only of digital animation but of the dramatic context that sells these effects.

Amazing job! Makes the experience feel very different from the way it looked to me as I guess i've watched this episode a hundred times in the last 35 years....

Beautiful! I was especially struck by the shot of the Enterprise flying through the asteroidal debris of the destroyed solar system (about 01:31 - 01:36, with the debris transiting the wonderfully rendered sun) and the planetary flybys during opening credits (about 03:30 - 03:40, particularly the last bit). But it is ALL beautiful. Excellent work.

There is way too much backlighting on the Enterprise, as details that should be in deep shadow are a little too clearly visible. Harsher deeper shadowing would definitely help the reality, making the ships more distinct and realistic.

PLEASE keep this up. I really like what you're doing with the FX. (Gotta love that shot of the Enterprise flying right at us in the title sequence!) I'd ask you if you wanted to go all-out and animate the ship's monitors, but that's kinda a lot of work for someone doing this solely because he loves the series.

One of my all time favorite episodes, William windom does an excellent job of acting. Interesting to read that Windom was never a fan of the show and says the doomday machine seemed kind of silly and he acted as if he were in a cartoon.

Excellent work, better than CBS Digital. I give you a 9 out of 10. Why not a 10 you may ask? Too many asteroids, especially when the Enterprise is being chased by the Doomsday Machine - this makes the screen look cluttered and busy, beyond what would be optimal. Cut the number by about half and it would have been perfect.
