Assignment Earth Theme 2

[grapeview61]

This is really cool stuff.. GREAT WORK!!!!!

[assignmentearth]

@grapeview61 Thank you much.

A:E SHOW CONTINUED-->It should have at least one timetravel episode to the present day & special guest stars would be actors from the new-timeline movie(Chrise Pine & Etc. They would be aged slightly to avoid confusion with the movie series chronological order. McCoy[Karl Urban was a genious choice to play him!] would most likely mention it). Any suggestions for who would play the Assignment:Earth trio? What is 'assignment:earth' 's opinion?

[assignmentearth]

@Velocity9s Thanks for you comments. As for who I think should play the lead characters - this is still a concept in my mind as if the original actors were involved. I've never, to tell truth, thought of it in any updated form. Just the retro feel, only in our imaginations, type of show that I think it would have been. Check out our website on the subject to hear more of my thoughts and motivations behind the project.

[Velocity9s]

Oh, yea, BjoernarEricSven is right about the voice-over. I just a had a brain-storm! I don't particularly like the new trek movie & it's new version of Kirk's life 7 etc. But since its HERE to stay, an A:E T.V show should be re-created VERY closely following the ORIGINAL episode(perhaps a TRUE historical event could be substituted for the missle platform). New, well known actors should act much like the originals. It should be set in the 60's BUT have at least ONE timetravel...MORE-->

[assignmentearth]

@Velocity9s And I'm with you about the new Trek movie. I didn't particularly like it ---- at all! JJ thinks he's doing a Star Wars movie. He got the phrase "punch it!" in there at least twice. To me, he's still a kid in junior high wearing a Bobba Fett costume to school with his Star Wars notebook under his arm. Or at least that's my opinion of him after seeing what he did with, and how he understands Star Trek. I thought a lot of him before his Star Trek movie, which is not Trek to me.

[Velocity9s]

Hi! I just checked out your 1st A:E vid. Oddly enuf I like the music to this a lot! But I prefer the first vid's opening visuals better. Suggestion: do TWO alternates with switched opening thems & slight re-editing of music cues(which I enjoyed on BOTH!). I also really enjoyed your use of 'the Blue Smoke Express'(I assume you've read the GREAT 2-volume 'Rise & Fall of Kahn Noonian Singh', featuring the A:E trio) & the 'pull away' of 7, N.Y.,Earth's surface & than Earth. NICE touch! Good show!

[assignmentearth]

@Velocity9s Thanks again. I too liked our pull away from Earth. It's a scene I envisioned from the very first and wrote the music specifically for. I had a talented, skillful editor help me do it. I envisioned an even more elaborate and intricate version of it. Ultimately we made the best of our limitations.

[BjoernarEricSven]

I like this version of the theme better. But I miss the voice-over.

[MissMael]

This get easily stuck on the brain. Sounds completely classic, like it was made in those days. I just bought the five issues of Assignment Earth comics. There's still some few good tv-themes, the Fringe theme is very nice and I can listen to it over and over. Still today's good themes seem to lack the edgy coolness of older themes.

[assignmentearth]

@MissMael Thanks.

[Cappuccino333]

I wish they'd make a new TV series or a movie based on Gary Seven.

[ortizmo]

That could've been a great series. The Tek episode that served as the "pilot" was one of the best.

[assignmentearth]

I always liked it. It's a mixed consensus out there among Trek fans. I don't care what the naysayers say,...I obviously liked it.

[wookie72]

Who did the music?

[assignmentearth]

me...on both themes. Check out our website it tells more.

[wookie72]

Absolutely perfect, it fooled me, I thought it might have been a lost Lalo Schifrin track.

[assignmentearth]

That's nice, thanks. Lalo's a great compliment.

[wookie72]

I meant it. Ironically, the two bits that cemented the Lalo-ness were the ones that you say were done on the computer - the bassline and the clavinet.

[IntermittentSprocket]

Just popping over here to listren to fucky cool music...yet again!

That Miss Lincoln is simply my cat

[Tsaoman8472]

The cat/woman's name is Isis, if I'm not mistaken.

[IntermittentSprocket]

When Im feeling blue Id simply drop by and have view and listen with my cat.

That Miss Lincoln is simply my cat

[assignmentearth]

Glad to know it helps somebody.  That's a nice contribution to the world.

[IntermittentSprocket]

That Miss Lincoln is simply my cat

[Centaursdream]

Could someone tell me what year did Mr Lansing die and also what did he die of? I thought this would've made an EXCELLENT series and I also liked him as "control" in the series "the Equalizer"

[CampfireCowboy]

Cool.

Just listened to the first theme, and it looks like I'm in the minority who prefers this version. They're both amazing, but this one really blends the music and visuals. I like the flute coming in when Terri appears.

Nice work.

Maybe I'll post my fake 70s detective show theme someday.

A question: It's been too long since I saw this episode on Star Trek, and I don't recall the scene (at 0:40) with the fortress blowing up. Is it from the Peter Sellers movie "The Party"?

[IntermittentSprocket]

Yeah but Robert Lansing is no longer here he fit the bill just right as the part in Star Trek and a spin off, of the show would have been great.

[thewewguy8t88]

100% agree with you :)

[straker2]

Bravo! Nicely done! I like this character a lot...the idea of Gary Seven is really cool, it should've gone ahead. In fact, they should try it now!

Ade

[revnstpaul]

yes great idea, wish I could help

[eagle219406]

Not bad but I always thought that series never made it.

[bruincommander]

great vid!!! if you like star trek, just google Bruin 19 Outpost ... my own little Trek RPG

[IntermittentSprocket]

Oh, that would be cool show and Isis the cat. Wow is this, a new feature audio preview wow. LOL

[amrak63]

Damn, that would have been a good show.

Speaking as someone born in 1963, yes, that does look and sound like a late-'60s opening sequence. :)

[Hayce9000]

once again, nicely done!

[mojave19]

My favorite part was that cat. What an elegant and mysterious creature!

[317596]

Great theme! I have to have it. is it on CD? If it is: Title, Artist, Album?

[infidelpuppy]

It's just...stunning.

"That, Ms. Lincoln, is simply my show."

[assignmentearth]

However, I appreciate the compliment. I'd love for someone at Paramount to take interest in my themes and pay me big money to use them. I feel like we've started this re-newed interest in the project. A comic book series in June and rumor of a new series...I think we've had something to do with that.

[assignmentearth]

Have to admit I'm pretty particular about what I want on the first theme. I have specific musical cues that correspond with certain actions....like his servo activating etc.

[MrJim]

Wow these two themes & openings you have made are brilliant. I have always liked Assignment Earth & wish it was made into a series. How about finding more footage of Lansing/Garr from other shows & using those shots to make another opening montage? In fact, I'm so inspired, I wouldn't mind having a go myself using your music with permission.

[Jayfive67]

Wow you really liked that pilot! too bad it never went to being a series...

[kahrnedge]

Very cool! Great job!

[planetfall]

excellent work, would someone please remake this show? and keep its period look and feel... i'm available for cgi work!

[assignmentearth]

Let's go. I'll executive produce and we'll make millions.

[kevinova33]

I definitely think that's the way to go, setting in the late 60s, instead of setting in the present day. And, be sure the production design, music, etc. are done as they would've done for a late 60s/early 70s show. There's something about that era that's just so cool, more modern than early 60s but not yet into to the cheese of the mid 70s.

[hanrahan]

This is excellent! I like both themes very much and the way you have arranged the visuals in this one makes me think of the 60s/70s convention for doing the splitscreen and insets like in openings of show like "Mannix" or maybe "Cannon". Great work!

[kevinova33]

I prefer the first theme, but this one is good too.

[TarsTarkas21461]

Sweet. Both versions are great. Hell, I'd watch it. :)

[wiegeabo]

Both of these 'openings' are great. I can just see this being the 'new' opening for season 2, while the other theme opened season 1. If these openings had been around back in 1968 they would have produced the show. Good work.

[assignmentearth]

Thank you.  It's almost silly how much I feel this is how it would have been and that it would have been a great show. Theme music helps make the show.

[Spock2]

Its not a TV show, it was a Star Trek episode which also proposed a tv show of the same name, which never got picked up.

[assignmentearth]

Uh,...I think you're missing the point. We made all this up, wrote and performed the music and edited images to look like it had really happened. Call it wishful thinking or self fulfilled prophesy. As to your observation that it wasn't a show....sure it was. In was in my mind.

[DarenDoc]

That's very cool as well! I actually dig the first theme better, and this opening better... go figure!

[thoughtstorms]

I like the music on this one slightly better. You guys ALL did great work on the visuals! When will we see\hear theme 3??

—k—

[56BUICKRiviera]

Good job! Who taught you how to compose?

[56BUICKRiviera]

Dick Hyman?

[assignmentearth]

No, not Dick Hyman. Though I dig his stride piano stuff. Have an album of his. I fail to see the correlation between my stuff and his.

[assignmentearth]

Yes, you're right. We talked about that too. We also need to give Isis credit.  We'll go back and do that. This one was my attempt at doing a sexy jazzy theme. It's obvious they were trying to sell Lansing as a sex symbol by the end of the ST episode so this is the route they may have gone.

[buckaroohawk]

Just as much fun as the first one! The only thing missing (and this is a little quibble really) is the credit "Created by Gene Roddenberry" along with the series title. Otherwise, both openings are great!
