"The Cage" Stock Footage

Ensign Ricky

Lieutenant
Red Shirt
During the filming of the pilot "The Cage," stock footage of crewmen going about their duties was filmed to be utilized in other episodes. "The Man Trap" features some of this footage. Are there any other Season 1 episodes that use this stock footage from "The Cage"?

I don't know any footage shot for "The Cage" that got ueed outside of "The Menagerie" (Except the Enterprise).

Some of the "red alert" footage from the top of the 1st act of "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was used somewhere, but I can't recall which episode.
 
I recall the couple on their way to play tennis(?), but other stock footage of crewmen could only be people in jumpsuits, as the standard uniform changed too much.
 
I think it was only Where No Man that re-used footage, throughout season 1 and as late as Catspaw, I believe. I don't think anything was re-used from The Cage, other than has been said, the Enterprise exteriors.
 
I don't know how they could have re-used footage from "The Cage" given the different set dressing and wardrobe.

Are we sure about this?

Canon proof that Starfleet had more than one uniform design in service at the same time!

I always thought that was from "Where No Man" as Maurice said. The badge looks like the gold black-bordered version from WNMHGB, not the smaller, silvery, border-less one from "The Cage." I don't recall the orange-topped corridor in "The Cage," either.

"The Cage" had a single straight corridor section and that's it. The red came in with WNMHGB.
 
I guess you guys are right, it was "Where No Man." Oh well, same question applies here. Are there any other Season 1 episodes that use crew member stock footage from either pilot?

Ha! Never noticed that. Do we know if that is "stock footage" or if they simply fit these extras in an older uniform?

Apparently in Doctor Who's version of the fiftieth century exit is spelled with two G's it seems! ;) Eggsit!
