Truth is I ran into a bit of a creative wall for awhile there. It isn't that I didn't want to do any more scenes but that I was running a bit dry of ideas. I'm also somewhat picky and unless I feel I can pull something off to my satisfaction then I may let it be.
My original intent had simply been to "fill in the blanks" so to speak by doing stuff that would have been nice to see in the actual TOS episodes. Then I started imagining things that could have happened off-scrrenn as well as before, between and after the aired events.
This little hobby is really a small way of satisfying my Trek interest in face of the lack of the kind of storytelling I prefer.
In some ways one could also label me a hypocrite. I've participated in numerous discussions regarding the idea of enhancing TOS' f/x and overall appearance. I admit to being somewhat intrigued with the
idea of what could be done, but then I'm also horrified at the prospect of what might be done.
There are some who advocate a wholesale update of TOS' f/x, effectively to make it more consistent with the overall look of contemporary Trek. And along or not far behind this line of thought is the idea of adding visual references that would retcon TOS to make it more consistent with later series and films. And yet this is exactly the sort of thing I'd expect from Berman and most any other like minded dolt from Paramount if they ever elected to augment TOS' f/x. And so whenever the subject of actually considering whether TOS' f/x should be updated I'm compelled to argue that they should be left alone (albeit cleaned up) rather than risk violation of the original producers' artistic integrity.
I abhor the aforementioned viewpoint. Beyond the odd indulgence in humour or just plain fun the approach I'm guided by in my manipulations is to retain an authentic looking TOS visual style or aesthetic. And I refuse to add retconning references. I'm guided in my "speculations" solely by what can be deduced directly from TOS' own references and to some extent the materiel in TAS and TMP. I'm not wholly unaware of subject matter from the later films and series, but I would consider incorporating such into a TOS scene
only if what was not contradicted in matter and/or spirit by the materiel within TOS. Essentially I work from the premise that the later series and films haven't happened yet and it once again 1964-69 or 1973-74 or 1979.
I'm also guided by the example of the
TMP DE. With rare exception most of what I try to envision just may have been within reach of the TOS producers
if they'd had a little more time, money and resource (which likely never could have happened under '60s tv production conditions).
