Not half bad.
Wasn't there several people involved in the build?
yes it doesn't
Not a very good look at the E at the end. Needs a wider shot. We don't even see the whole ship.
So let me see, the music is wrong, not enough names were mentioned, it looks too soft, and the angle isn't very good.
the angle isn't very good
First of all the source material was amateur shaky video of a model behind reflective glass. Only a crazy person would want to rotoscope it. There were no good wide shots.
certain names were not mentioned
I agree, and I have amended that because I believe people should definitely receive their due credit.
the music is wrong
I completely disagree, as I said it has the TOS fanfare and thematically has the perfect build up for the money shot at the end. People seem to have a negative association with Generations in ANY form which is not my problem.
it looks too soft
The purpose of that was to give it a more cinematic look like the series (like Jerry Finnerman) However, I will meet you half way on that one and toned it down when I added the amended credits.
BOTTOM LINE.
The whole point of the video was to thank the Smithsonian team, even Andrew Probert sent me a personal message of thanks.
So I am totally happy, sorry if you're not.

This took some time but well worth it.
Used a video clip from the Smithsonian.
Has anyone else shot video of the Big E at the Smithsonian?

You produce a wealth of great videos of the TOS world. Thank you!
Great job, Spockboy.So let me see, the music is wrong, not enough names were mentioned, it looks too soft, and the angle isn't very good.

I've been "online" since the dialup BBS era in the early 1980's. Strangers shitting all over anything and everything that you post online is just part of the game, always has been and always will be.
Sorry if my post came off as attacking your work. I was just interested in your reasoning behind using the soft glow. It almost plays like one of those close up shots of a woman's face in the series. You know what I'm talking about with the dreamy music, soft glow, and dramatic lighting.
She's a beautiful lady and we love her.

I like the soft glow. The lighting in the Smithsonian was probably crappy and a lot of post-production was inevitable to get it to look like an actual FX shot.
I also suspect this won't be the last video of its type. We'll probably see more attempts, which would be really interesting.
