Star Trek TOS with new backgrounds and effects?

[spockboy]

The whole point of this posting was simply to see what it would look like. Nobody is actually doing it. It's an experiment. We are exploring new worlds, if you like, in television and digital technology.

This WILL happen someday. Just like Warhol with his soup cans and Monroe paintings. Star Trek is pop culture and it will become an artistic template for others to play around with as technology grows, and as long as they do then Star Trek is still relevant.

The interior looks amazing, but the exterior shot doesn't match in tone, and features the standard TOS Enterprise model - I'd expected something as updated as the bridge. A bit like this...

I thought it looked kinda cool. Although if one were to do that for every single episode it would be an absolute nightmare of work.

Agree! I can only imagine the work involved.

Actually, this kind of work has already been undertaken every time a movie shot in 2D is extruded into 3D. Every single shot must be rotoscoped into distinct objects and planes to produce the "Ken Burns effect."

The Ken Burns Effect is just slowly zooming and panning. Splitting characters off photos into separate layers is an different technique, sometimes called the 2.5D photo or photo parallax. I recall first seeing in 2002''s The Kid Stays In the Picture, which certainly popularized it, but it likely predates that.

The Ken Burns Effect is just slowly zooming and panning.

The Wikipedia article you linked also mentions:

By employing simulated parallax, a two-dimensional image can appear as 3D, with the viewpoint seeming to enter the picture and move among the figures.

Whether or not this is part of the "Ken Burns effect," I have seen productions by Burns using simulated parallax. Apple's filter does not produce simulated parallax.

In the article the reference given for parallax as a Ken Burns Effect is from the book Foundation Flash CS5 For Designers, which isn't exactly a handbook on film. Anyway, the point is the 2.5D technique is not generally what people meant when they say "Ken Burns Effect", althoug perhaps it's become a generic term for that from overuse.

Quite liked the work in the videos.

Looks very good, but I figure it would take about two years for each episode, and I don't think it's likely I'll live another 150 years.

Wasn't a version of the bridge sequence first posted here a couple of years ago? It looks very familiar.

Ick.

Yep. It's the Battlestar Enterprise.
