Star Trek Beyond teaser re-scored

[Eric Cheung]

I decided to see what the Star Trek: First Contact trailer would look like if done in the style of the Beyond trailer. So I edited this:

I liked it. I do like the Beastie Boys track in the original trailer, but this was well done, I think. I wasn't sure what to expect, but you didn't use slow, sweeping music, you used the nice blood pumping "Stealing the Enterprise" musical cues, and I think it worked out. Nice job, especially since you did it with so little time!

Orchestral scores are great, but the Sabotage music was keyed to the trailer and it works for me.

Ironically, back in the day, Star Trek First Contact's trailer was held up as just the sort of thing the Beyond trailer is these days: the actionization of Trek trailers.

Thanks! It's one of my favorite Trek score cues, definitely in my top 5.

Fair enough. The trailer is so kinetic but I didn't necessarily want a score with a hundred edits.

What I didn't like was mostly the stock footage used in the teaser, though I loved the massive Borg ship in the shape of the mid-90s promotional logo when I saw it on the big screen, attached to The Cable Guy in second-run.

That's a nice job.

This one uses more generic music, but it's really well edited. It works!

Please show this to all the people complaining about how the new movie is only an action movie. The magic of editing and music people.

Also, that was brilliant!!!

The idea that you have to change the music for a 1:25 trailer and that affects the entire perception of it just shows there was nothing wrong with the trailer in the first place. I guess a lot of old fogies would have been happy if it was Pink Floyd or something, but something from the 90s? We can't have that..not old and dusty enough.

Can we keep it about the movies, please, and leave out comments about those who may hold opinions which differ? Yeah, this is pretty mild, but it's still unnecessary.

I'd like to respond to at least part of that sentiment though.

I believe this very idea was relayed from Nick Meyer in one of his commentary tracks. Get in your car put on some music and drive. You see a young child playing with a ball. If you have uplifting and joyful music playing, that kid is going to beat the other team in the school soccer game. If you have somber, tragic music playing, that kid has some horrific disease and will die next week.

Music informs the visuals. So yes, a piece of music can drastically alter the way an audience reacts.

Yes, music is an intrinsic part of the whole experience. The visuals do not exist in some vacuum completely divorced from the audio.

Hah, the OP's mashup with Horner worked out much better than I expected And that was a great gag at the end, too!

I'm kind of reminded of how the First Contact teaser trailer used TUC and Generations music together. If they can do it, so can you.

 

[BillJ]

I like the music we got with the trailer, I also like some of the edited versions I've seen.

Excited to see the movie.

No argument there. It's a valid point which could have made perfectly well without including the "old fogies" dig.

 

[eyeresist]

I like the Beastie Boys song, but it just didn't work with this trailer. The high impact of the music destroys the sense of narrative.

 

[Trek4Ever]

Very nice job.

Watch the Shining (Happy) version and tell me how you feel about it.

Or the Fuller House horror trailer:

It makes ALL the difference sometimes.
