Star Trek Voyager with Air Force One music

So I listened to Jerry Goldsmith's music for the Harrison Ford film "Air Force One" and thought: Hmmm this sounds like a Trek theme.
Indeed good old Jerry, rest his soul, composed the music for both Air Force One and Star Trek Voyager (among others).

And so I made this 'alternative' opening sequence for Star Trek Voyager with the music from Air Force One replacing the original Voyager theme.

It was quite tricky to match the audio to the video so I had to make some changes. Firstly I wanted to match the appearance of the title to the
music so I added an additional clip to the beginning of the intro. This extra clip is some random video of the sun from YouTube.

Secondly I wanted the orchestral 'crash' to match the star burst in the video so I had to add a further clip to space it out a little.
This new clip is from the first episode of Voyager, although brief I think the timing is just right and fits in nicely before the actors credits.

The original Voyager opening sequence has some sound effects, I lost those when I removed the original audio so I had to replace them.
Thanks to Rashaed (see his video here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=70pdH1MWo-4) I used some of his sound effects in place of the original ones.
I hope Rashaed doesn't mind me using them.

Well I think it turned out okay, let me know what you think and please leave me comments.

This, like a previous video of this I watched with Star Wars music, just DOES NOT work. Voyager's music is the ONLY music for this opening. No other music fits it right.

@kafre67151 You know, I do agree with you there. The original score is unmatched. I've been re-watching my seven seasons collection again...I've really missed Captain Janeway and her crew, Starfleet should send them back into the Delta Quadrant for another series!

[Soopytwist]

I've made a new one. To the theme music from 2001 A Space Odyssey. Amazingly it works as well! I'll get round to uploading it soon.

You know ... I have to admit ... you hit it right on the head. Great job! You sure you don't do this for a living? If not, you should.

[Soopytwist]

@tritonrocks Thanks for your kind words! No I don't so this for a living and yes I agree with you I should. @Bruce2436 sounds to me like Jerry Goldmith did this with every intention of using it as a Trek theme but got dropped and rather than scrap it used it for the Harrison Ford film instead. Just a guess. Can't ask him now though as he died

Add &fmt=18 to the videos link for stereo.

Please read the 'more info' for information about my mash-up, thanks.

The USS Enterprise is changing call signs... The USS Enterprise is now AIR FORCE ONE!!!

This would be awesome as the theme for a new Star Trek series.

Now if only Harrison Ford had said "Get off my ship" and kicked Kate Mulgrew (and all the show's writers) out the rear airlock, this might have been a half-way good series.

THAT WAS EPIC

Now I'm pissed off at you cause you brought a tear to my eye

LOL

[ScorpioMensan1]

You did a truly SPECTACULAR job of editing, and I am now a FAN of yours!

[Bantha121]

The Air Force One theme was based on Star Trek: First Contact

[baldeagleism]

WOW.That works really well!

[thrashkwan]

This is actually really good. It's got that Star Trek vibe.

[mccabber24]

If Harrison Ford was Captain of the Enterprise, the world would explode from too much Win

@SawdustProductions same here

[Legonater]

This is nice- Airforce One theme is epic- but the Voyager theme is better, especialy for Voyager. IMO, Voyager had the best theme of all the series. It's be favorite series, and they really should've done a movie with it.

@kafre67151 Well, it doesn't compare with the original score, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it just doesn't work at all. I'd still take the original over this any day, but this isn't all that bad. Voyager remains my favorite, however, followed closely by the lovely main theme from First Contact.
