So, are you going to be sourcing the final edit from the blu-ray, or just elements? For some reason it looks like the coloring is better on the blu...
I would if the version on Blu-ray was the director's cut. I want most of the director's cut effect changes in this edit. The Vulcan and San Francisco shots, The first attacks by V'ger, The Wormhole, The walk over to V'ger, The V'ger CGI fly-by, and stuff like that. Yes, I had to put the wormhole scene back in due to impassable story continuity problems. I had to have Decker and Kirk have that conflict with the phaser order, and then half of the scene in Kirk's quarters. It's just way too important. The wormhole and quarters scene is cut down a great deal to make them move along faster, yet they still convey the important plot points, and character interaction. The entire segment with the Vulcan warp shuttle is removed at this point. Spock enters the bridge to the shock of everyone just before the ship leaves drydock. With the dialog I put in place just before this shot, it comes across as if Spock was in the last group of crew to beam aboard. The pajama party on the rec deck is out. I re-edited the footage of the Epsilon-9 transmissions, and then I just superimposed the rec-deck view screen images on to the bridge view screen. I took reaction shots of the bridge crew from the scenes I am cutting on the travel into V'ger. You guys would not believe how well this worked out.
