It's coming out next month. I gave notes on a complete cut a few months back.[...]
"Butterfly" has one other Trek guest, sort of -- James Shigeta, who played Admiral Nogura in the famous never-completed fan film Yorktown II: A Time to Heal with George Takei, which was covered in a Starlog article back in the '80s. (At least, never completed at the time. I gather someone's been working on completing it recently.)
Trek BBS thread here.Color correction on the film is now complete. We have 4 additional VFX shots to finish up, which should be done by Dec 1st. Work continues on the music score. The film will premier on Dec 25th, and we also have a "special surprise" that will be released online 4 weeks before the actual film.
Mayyyybe. There's a noticeable difference between the two sounds. The Trek torpedo sound has a sharper attack (beginning) and is more resonant. The Martian plasma bolt effect sounds more muffled to me. I suppose it's possible that they're the same recording processed in two different ways, or maybe two different takes from the same recording session, but they're not exactly identical. (Ben Burtt later used much the same process, striking a taut metal cable, to create blaster sounds for Star Wars.)
However, the whistling sound of the Martian War Machines' levitation beams is the same sound effect as the phasers, but slowed down to a lower pitch. And I'm pretty sure I recall the "zee-zee-zeew" sound of the Martian heat ray showing up in ST:TAS. It was definitely used often in Filmation shows.
