Heavy CGI enhancement anyone?

If you have any digital skills, I'd love some tips on how to upgrade the rough footage of the Memory Wall scene in TMP.

This is the best I can do lol i'm not fit for the job.

The Corbomite Maneveur Remake:

Would you clothe Michelangelo's David in a NASA spacesuit? You'd be losing more than you gain.

Honestly I think the opposite. Because you would not be clothing the David in a NASA spacesuit. You would make an entirely different statute that could be compared with the original and still be appreciated by some.

Clothing the David would be bad. Clothing a copy of the David would be awesome. Someone already had a similar idea altho I don't like the realization, it looks like if Weasley Crusher was a fashion designer.

And in the digital realm obviously other peple did more:

The Discovery-version is just the refit with some difference in detailing.

Yeah, the refit now looks more like it was refit from the Discoprise than the original 1701.

Meh, I think they wanted to suck the 60's drama out of it. It's not like the torpedo tubes were just under the bridge in the original series. The outside torpedo sound wasn't heard inside. Some sound effects on the original series were just muscular and sounded like actual machinery. Like that lonnnnnng whine primarily in the first season (the transporter in The Enemy Within or Sulu warping out of orbit in Arena). I love that one. TNG made it all electronic.

Some of those sounds were from even older productions. Go to 4:57 in this clip from the 1941 Dick Tracy Vs. Crime Inc. Chapter 3. It sounds like the sound of the memory wipe machine from TOS’s Dagger Of The Mind and the transporter from The Cage.

Many technological ideas are not new, but require time and more advanced engineering to make workable. Fuel injection goes back to the 1920s, but we didn’t see it mass market until the 1970s-80s. Television was conceived in the 1920s, but mass market came thirty years later.

The transistor was patented in 1930! But production techniques were not good enough to build them.

Today’s touchscreen devices are common, but the idea goes back decades.

When TNG came out, I thought the touchscreens were stupid. I had an Atari 400 -- I knew how bad membrane keyboards were!

Also terminology can change. A tablet once referred to a pad of writing paper. Now it refers to an electronic device. People still refer to a desktop tower as a “real” computer when we are actually surrounded by computers of different kinds—we just give them different names to specify what we’re talking about.

In TOS as well 1950s-60s sci-fi they would reference a supercomputer, but today we would call it an A.I.

<i>Wolf in the Fold</i> is brilliant, technologically. The computer does all the work -- Google and collate.

I still have an 8bit Atari (a 130XE).

Not interested in heavy CGI enhancement of TOS.
