And, uh, might I ask you what those other ideas, are, that you've got?
It would be a lot better if the movie opened on Spock, instead of the Klingons. The movies often start on someone else...
Spock would sense V'ger (V'ger music), cut to V'ger (V'ger music), here come the Klingons.
Right after D.C PhantomEditor posted, another fellow got inspired and started snipping away at TMP. Then he somehow got the notion that he was stepping on Jack's work and creating confusion. He apologised and quit, didn't listen to encoragagement to continue. Weird, & a shame.
I'll see about putting his 1st-rough-cuts of the teaser & Act I up, on putfile or somewhere. But I think they'd need to be shrunk to a smaller filesize, to be yousendit-ed, or whatever.
Anyway, he pointed out that the original Star Trek episodes started on the Enterprise. And that's stuck with me. But a couple of movies make that damned-near impossible. For TMP, a person would pretty much have to make an "Engineer's log" by Scotty, over clips of working-on-the bridge, and establishing shots of engineering---
Dunno if it'd be possible to paste words together without it *sounding* like the words were pasted together. There's 2 or 3 games for source.
(Anyone have the The 25th-Anniversary-Game-Special-Edition? And a way to rip the audio?). (I've got Judgement Rites to dink around with).
I've been taking notes on editing the first 9 movies (Nemesis, IMO, would best be turned into a Special-Effects Reel.
).But consider them Vapor-Edits. To do them my way would require mastering the skills of dubbing, matteing, rendering, and...
I've got as far as ripping one to the hdd. (Thank you ADigitalMan!). And that was for an unrelated experiment.
My main 2 problems are time and hdd-space. 'Tis a possiblilty of concocting unique bits I'd share with others, to use in there's, though.
But there is a guy who's doing a TMP-edit. Dunno if he's sticking with his 48-minute goal, or if he's decided to shoot for 96. (One could always say it "includes deleted scenes" :-). He's staying anonymous. There are links to samples in these 2 threads a NewVoyages.

It's quite dissimilar to what I'd like to do, fortunatally. Its great work. Love his theme. (Except I never liked the movie fonts).
