I remembered today the 'Judgement' episode from enterprise but my memory of it is vague, Just wondering if there's anything much of use. the courtroom is different but it may well be possible to use the enterprise judge. I'll have to take another look to check but i quickly looked at some screen grabs online and looked like there were some promising shot.
In regards to Enterprise footage I was considering setting up a little sequence to expand on the destruction of praxis, I've some the idea roughly sorted but on the other hand i do like the simple 'blam' explosion out of owhere of the original intro. I'll see how things go and whether it adds or detracts from the overall feel. Basically I was considering how it's mentioned that Praxis collapsed due to overmining. So basically there would be a slight lead up to the event using footage from a few [enterprise] sources.
I'm hoping to do the title sequence similar to the mage i posted - initially I grey scaled all the credits since there varied in colour. i thought that looked pretty decent but decided to try and liven up the sequence slightly. I'm also debating whether to keep the VI - or simply label it STAR TREK: The Undiscovered Country. Thoughts?
I'm planning to re watch generations to see if there are any suitable 'enterprise b' shots that could stand in for the excelsior. I can't remember whether they actually altered the exterior at all for the newer ship. And also star trek 5 for any good footage I might wanna slot in of the Enterprise A.
One idea I had I'm sort of split on, I'll do abit of a test and see how it works out, During Kirks log, show a silent flashback of David Marcus on the Genesis planet - And mostly likely of him being killed. Don't want it to come off the wrong way so I'll only do it if it fits well.
Planning to redo the torpedo fire - something closer visually to the torpedoes in First contact. [bright white with a blue glow] And if i can i'd like to either enhance or redo the beam in shots.
Minor things like the Dimitri shot should be quite an easy fix. what else...oh yes, Red Klingon Blood

Re - the spock / kirk scene, I'm with you now, I'll dig thru the bonus disc during the week and see what I can see.
Re - kirk tackles the president - yeah, the assassin [west] fires AND misses before they go down
It's late and I'm tired. lemme regroup at some point and go over my notes in detail.
