Star Trek VI (1954) - Khitomer Battle

vvvv READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING vvvv

Clip from Ralph Winter's 1954 classic "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"
6th film in the Star Trek film series and a winner of Academy Award in Achievement in Visual Effects (1954). In this clip, the Enterprise NCC-1701-A takes on a Klingon Battleship in orbit of Khitomer during an important political meeting.

No seriously, this is just the Khitomer battle from 1992's Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country, made to look and sound authentically old.
Inspired by this awesome video doing the same thing except for the Earth orbit Borg battle in Star Trek - First Contact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAORx9-9mOQ. I found the idea very creative. I might do more of these videos soon.

I always thought this scene would fit in an old black-n-white movie...

Video: 854x469 480p, 1.85:1 film ratio h.264, 23.976FPS
Audio: FLAC mono at 48Khz
Video Editing: Sony Vegas PRO 10, MediaCoder x64
Audio editing: Sony Vegas PRO 10 - Audio editing tools

How to make your video/audio realistically old:
VIDEO: Use Sony Vegas' included "film effects" and tweak to your liking, using film grain & adding dust and particles. On top of that, add a very light defocus blur. Brighten the image by adding fill light and increasing levels. Use and modify the "transparent ellipse" located under "media generators\colour gradient" to create a darker edge for the video. Use either 4:3 (before 1953), 1.85:1 (after 1953) or 2.35:1 (modern widescreen, but also had limited special use in the past era) aspect ratios for the video.
AUDIO: Cut off high frequencies after 1000hz and low frequencies below 50hz with Sony Vegas' "paragraphic EQ" or other. Use "distort" to add extra noise and effects. Convert audio to mono. Volume may need to be boosted afterwards.

This isn't really convincing. The 1950's didn't even have close to the movie making technology that we have today. Plus, script writing had evolved well beyond the 50's

I don't remember 50's movies having problems with lip syncing. :p

Even in black and white...that scene is bad ass!!!

It's amazing that when black and white, and grainy, it really looks like a 50s-60s movie. Would love to see the new Star Trek done this way. Great job, especially on the audio. Looks and sounds like something on late night tv.

I like the effect, very nice touch, you even got the garbled audio down too.
