STAR TREK: PHASE II "Kitumba" Sneak Peek

middyseafort · February 27 2012, 09:56 PM

Seems the folks at P:II are busy bees. They've just released a sneak peek at "Kitumba":

This release comes on the heels of releasing another sneak peek at act one of "The Child." In case you missed it, here it is again:

Youtube says that the "Kitumba" video is private.

Is it my monitor, or is the bridge really dark?

CaptainSerek · February 28 2012, 12:43 AM

Thanks for the peek. I look forward to it as always.

Man, you guys just keep raising the bar! Well done all! I think everybody better have their hankies ready though...

It's a stylistic choice, they say. I find it unattractive and murky. YMMV.

I see Andy Probert's K-Fighter in this...guess it's making its first appearance here instead of in Yorktown.

The jump-cut caused by the axial cut at 1:01 is very distracting. Hopefully it won't make the final edit (jump-cuts are no-nos).

P.S. A friend of mine just saw the alien ship in The Child and said "it looks like a Space Fleshlight".

It seems as if the folks at P:II are trying to replicate the stylish, noir cinematography of the early first season — as seen here, here, and here — and not quite getting it right.

Backlights and rimlights, my friend!

Captain Atkin · February 28 2012, 03:04 PM

I think the lighting looks just fine. Suits the mood of the episode.

The K-Fighter that appears in this episode looks a bit different from the one that appears in Yorktown. Andy has been working with us on the CGI model, so it will look as close to his original vision as possible.

I dunno. I'm subscribed to retroaccount, which is James Cawley/P:II's youtube channel, so it shows up fine for me.

I don't have a problem with a more "moody" (read: noir style) lighting. The problem is that it is too dark in blotches where it obscures the actors faces too much, particularly whenever Kirk and Spock are talking to one another at the science station.

Add me to the list of folks who get a "private" message when I click on the link.

It worked for me once last night, but now the "private" message is Trek-blocking me again.

Trek-blocking?! <George Takei>Oh my!</George Takei>

Yeah, it's gone dark for me now as well. Seems to also have been taken outta my subscription list.
