ST:TMP Rear Projection Material

[Maurice]

LINK TO TMP MICRO CIRCUITRY FOOTAGE

Last year Rick Sternbach auctioned off a reel of 16mm rear projection footage created for ST:TMP. When I saw he was going to sell it, I asked him if I could digitize it for posterity on the Internet Archive, where I volunteer. He sent me the reel, I scanned it, and sent it right back. Anyway, the above link points to the archive.org scan, which captures the entire film clear out to the perfs (sprocket holes). A full description is in the record on the site. You can actually spot bits of this in the movie.

(BTW, I haven't been on the board for 6 months and will likely be a rather infrequent visitor, so if you have questions you may be waiting a while for a reply.)

Is it possible to have some kind of Super like for this?

I have find two auctions of objects they used in the picture as well, check the links below:

Both pieces were used in the motion picture, at the Spock's space walk sequence (the best of the movie IMO). Definitely worth cheking out.

^^^There are lots of pix of stuff like that. I shared the 16mm film because it was rare and not seen before since it hadn't been run through a projector since 1978.

It's great to see the raw rear projection footage- now I have to watch the movie again to see which display it appeared on-
Thanks for both posting this and archiving it - too many things like this disappear into private collections never to be seen again or are dsetroyed
