NOTE - Just in case anyone happens to stumble across this old ‘Trailers’ thread of mine sometime, I’ve just temporarily used this space to put the following edit ideas/shots on here to remind myself about them at some point! 😃 -

I’D LIKE TO START OFF MY ‘STAR TREK 2009’ EDIT SOMETHING LIKE THIS -

I always loved the epic music heard in the movie’s third trailer seen below (‘Freedom Fighters’ by Two Steps From Hell), and was really hoping that it would feature in the movie itself -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8YxTPVkeBE

…but of course, it DIDN’T end up in the movie. However, there’s a certain way I CAN incorporate it for myself - I’m going to use it as an introductory ‘overture’ over a receding starfield, in the same manner that was done for the beginning of ST:TMP, as seen here - NOTE - IS IT POSSIBLE FOR WHOLE EDIT TO STILL BE IN 5.1 SOUND IF I WERE TO INCLUDE A SOURCE FOR THIS TRACK, OR WOULD IT ALL NEED TO BE IN STEREO 2.0?? ASK ABOUT THIS, AS IF I CAN’T DO THIS ALL IN 5.1 SOUND, THEN I’D PROBABLY RE-EDIT THE START THIS WAY INSTEAD - PARAMOUNT/SPYGLASS ENTERTAINMENT/BAD ROBOT LOGOS/‘VULCAN’ PLANET SHOT/BABY SPOCK SCENE/KELVIN SHIP DESTRUCTION AND KIRK BABY TRANSITIONING TO ‘STAR TREK’ MAIN TITLE/(THEN EITHER CUT TO KLINGON PLANET AND ESCAPING NERO SAYING “THE WAIT IS OVER”…OR INSTEAD CUT TO’VULCAN’ CITY, THEN CUT TO AMANDA AND ADULT SPOCK LEAVING VULCAN SCENES, WHICH TRANSITIONS TO ‘IOWA’ WITH ADULT KIRK IN A BARFIGHT)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEGEaFC4CR4

…except I’ll use the ‘Two Steps From Hell’ music to accompany the moving starfield for an alternate ‘ovature’ in this instance -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tupzf9whLoc

MY 2 favourite ‘Star Trek’ characters are KIRK and SPOCK, and my re-edit of this movie will definately reflect that using the footage I’m keeping, while retaining a ‘pacing’ which I’m content with…even if I consider them ‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’ versions, unconnected to the ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’ characters of the original TOS show!..so for my NEW opening of movie I’d CUT/OR ‘FADE’(?) to ‘Vulcan’ planet shot to initially establish setting -

CUT to deleted scene (with quietly serene music) of 2 Vulcan women pouring water over baby with it’s parents, which ends in cute pointy-eared baby shot fading to black -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaAusqTaqcA

BETTER QUALITY CLIP - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3sbjp2

(and we get the familiar ‘Vazquez Rocks’ background to start things off as a bonus, which suits my TOS sensibilities just fine)

…and when the baby Spock close-up quietly ‘fades out’, then we immediately CUT to a ‘fade in’ of the Paramount/Spyglass Entertainment/Bad Robot logos, with quiet music that builds and builds - NOTE - ADD SHOT OF PARAMOUNT STARS BEGINNING TO SWOOP TOWARDS US HERE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEua9NwL7Zc

TRANSITIONS to -

HERE’S A COUPLE OF VIDS THAT I COULD EDIT ON ‘STREAMABLE’ PERHAPS -

A VIDEO SHOWING NARADA JUST AFTER IT APPEARS IN FRONT OF KELVIN SHIP, AND NERO KILLING KELVIN CAPTAIN - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzzC5ASyXBI

A VIDEO SHOWING DESTRUCTION OF KELVIN SHIP AND MAIN TITLE TRANSITIONING TO YOUNG KIRK IN CAR - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAf5qSwsZrM

TRANSITIONS TO KELVIN SHIP CONFRONTING NARADA SHIP, AS BABY KIRK IS BORN - ADD SHOTS HERE - THIS IS FINAL SHOT OF OVERALL SEQUENCE BELOW -

TRANSITIONS to main title which fades to black before theme music ends -

GET RID OF! (NO ‘KIDDIE’ KIRK AND SPOCK ANTICS WHATSOEVER, THANKS) - https://i2.wp.com/img.screencaps.us/200/9-star-trek/full/star-trek11-movie-screencaps.com-1503.jpg?ssl=1

NOTE - ADD ‘YOUNG SPOCK’ VIDEO THAT I’M DISCARDING TOO

CUT to -

NOTE - if I just click ‘Copy image address’ DIRECTLY on one of the SMALL ‘screencaps’, then it will only end up SMALL like this once I ‘paste’ it! (might be useful to use in certain circumstances to show ideas)

CUT to Amanda saying “Spock”, as adult Spock walks forwards to talk to her -

TRANSITIONS to -

VIDEO OF AMANDA AND ADULT SPOCK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJxqi090Yfc

AND THIS VIDEO HAS ‘VULCAN’ PLANET AND CITY SHOT ETC. THAT I CAN EDIT IN ‘STREAMABLE’ CLIPS PERHAPS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJm2xgas8JQ

AND THIS VIDEO CONTINUES ON FROM THAT, WHICH INCLUDES ‘THREE YEARS LATER’ AND NARADA/SPOCK ARRIVING SHOTS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHpDD6MCrBM

TRANSITIONS to adult Kirk getting into a barfight and talk with Pike about his father -

NOTE - THIS TO BE SORTED OUT INTO RIGHT PLACE EVENTUALLY -

KIRK AND BONES HEAD UPWARDS IN SHUTTLE FROM BASE, AND WE TRANSITION TO SPACE WHERE THE WORDS THREE YEARS LATER APPEAR, AND THIS STATIONARY SHOT IS VERY QUIET AT THIS MOMENT -

CUT to NERO DELETED SCENE (DISCARD final unfinished explosion after onscreen wording to establish setting, and might DISCARD a shot or two of the multi-eyed alien being questioned too), which ends with Nero saying THE WAIT IS OVER! -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4jEhpesnx0

NOTE - SHOLULD I ALTERNATIVELY INSERT THIS DELETED NERO SCENE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ‘STAR TREK’ MAIN TITLE INSTEAD?? - WHICH WOULD SEEM LIKE MORE TIME HAS PASSED FOR NERO AND CREW TO REGAIN NARADA SHIP AND HANG ABOUT FOR ‘ELDERLY SPOCK’ FROM THE ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’…AND NERO’S CALCULATIONS ABOUT HAVING 'TIME-TRAVELLED BACKWARDS ARE WRONG ANYWAY, AS THIS IS ACTUALLY AN ‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’ HE’S ENTERED (JUST AS ‘ELDERLY SPOCK’ HAS), FILLED WITH WHOLLY DIFFERENT, UNRELATED CHARACTERS TO THE ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’ THAT HE (AND ‘ELDERLY SPOCK’) CAME FROM…AND THE ‘THREE YEARS LATER’ DOESN’T MATTER TOO MUCH, AND THE ‘SWIPING’ SHOT TO THE NARADA COULD JUST STAY AS IT IS - NOT SURE YET!

CUT to rest of space shot, as it swipes to the left to reveal the Nero’s Narada ship -

CUT to bridge of Narada, as Nero goes on to wait for Spock to come through (NOTE - do I DISCARD shot of Nero on table beside paper that Klingon threw up in air, OR do I KEEP it as a flashback? - is dialogue we hear over it, important to keep??) -

NOTE - If including a CD source for the ‘Freedom Fighters’ music ‘overture’ means that I can’t have the movie in 5.1 sound, then I’d probably do something like this for a ‘pure’ re-edit of the movie -

Paramount/Spyglass Entertainment/Bad Robot logos/TRANSITIONS to Kelvin ship encountering Narada ship, as baby Kirk is born/TRANSITIONS to ‘Star Trek’ main title/CUT to ‘Vulcan’ planet shot/CUT to 2 women pouring water over baby Spock, as shot ends on close-up with cute pointy ears…OR should I CUT to Amanda talking to adult Spock/Spock leaving scenes at this point, followed by adult Kirk barfight in IOWA???..OR should I CUT to NERO DELETED SCENE at this point, which ends in him saying “The wait is over!”?? - IS ALL THIS RIGHT?? IS SPOCK OLDER THAN KIRK IN PRIME TIMELINE?? THIS COULD MAKE IT SEEM LIKE AN ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE IF KIRK WAS BORN FIRST IN MY EDIT - OF COURSE, I COULD PUT BABY SPOCK SCENE BEFORE THE LOGOS AS PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED, IF IT FLOWS BETTER. FINISH ALL THIS OFF PROPERLY.

a NEW OPENING clip that someone came up with - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sE8-pdwCvc

NOTE - IF I CAN’T GET 5.1 SOUND DUE TO USING CD SOUND FOR ‘OVERTURE’ IDEA AT BEGINNING, THEN I’D FORGET THAT NOTION, AND DEFINATELY BEGIN THE MOVIE LIKE THIS INSTEAD (AND DESCRIBE HOW I’M IMAGINING IT’S PREMISE AS HAVING ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’ NERO AND ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’ ELDERLY SPOCK UNKNOWINGLY ENTERING INTO A TOTALLY ‘ALTERNATE’ UNIVERSE, RATHER THAN ‘TIME-TRAVELLING BACKWARDS’ WITHIN THE ‘PRIME’ UNIVERSE ITSELF!) -

OPEN WITH QUICK ‘FADE IN’ TO (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) ‘VULCAN’ PLANET SHOT
CUT TO DELETED SCENE OF 2 WOMEN WITH (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) SPOCK BABY AND (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) PARENTS, WHICH ENDS WITH BABY SPOCK EARS FADING TO BLACK (THIS ‘SPOCK’ IS BORN IN AN ‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’, AND IS NOT THE ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’ SPOCK OF THE CLASSIC TOS SHOW WHO IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN ATTITUDE!) 😃
CUT TO BLACKNESS QUICKLY MOVING DOWNWARDS TO CLOUDS AND STARS COMING TOWARDS US AS PARAMOUNT/SPYGLASS ENTERTAINMENT/BAD ROBOT LOGOS APPEAR
TRANSITIONS TO (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) KELVIN SHIP AS NARADA SHIP (FROM THE ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’) ENTERS INTO THIS ‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’, AND WE SEE DESTRUCTION OF KELVIN SHIP AS BABY KIRK IS BORN (THIS ‘KIRK’ IS BORN IN THIS SAME ‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’ JUST AS BABY SPOCK WAS, AND IS NOT THE ‘PRIME UNIVERSE’ KIRK OF THE CLASSIC TOS SHOW WHO IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN ATTITUDE!) 😃 THE SEQUENCE ENDS WITH ‘STAR TREK’ MAIN TITLE FADING TO BLACK
CUT TO (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) ‘VULCAN’ CITY
CUT TO (‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’) AMANDA AND ADULT (‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’) SPOCK, AS HE LEAVES (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) VULCAN COUNCIL
TRANSITIONS TO (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) ‘IOWA’ AND ADULT (‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’) KIRK IN A BAR FIGHT, AS HE GOES ON TO JOIN (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) STARFLEET, AND WE EVENTUALLY TRANSITION TO SPACE AND THE WORDS ‘THREE YEARS LATER’
CUT TO DELETED SCENE OF (‘ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE’) KLINGON PRISON, AS A KLINGON INTERROGATOR (ALSO WRONGLY!) THINKS NERO HAS ‘TIME-TRAVELED FROM THE FUTURE’, WHEREAS NERO HAS ACTUALLY COME FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE - THE ‘PRIME’ ONE. THE SCENE ENDS ON NERO SAYING “THE WAIT IS OVER!”
CUT TO ‘SIDE SWIPE’ IN SPACE AS NARADA APPEARS, AND TRANSITIONS TO NERO WATCHING (‘PRIME UNIVERSE’) SPOCK ENTERING THIS ‘ALTERNATE UNIVERSE’ IN THE SAME WAY HE DID PREVIOUSLY.

NOTE - CHECK THE FOOTAGE TO SEE THAT THE ‘CADETS’ SCENES OF KIRK AND BONES DON’T CONTRADICT THE ‘THREE YEARS LATER’ WORDING IN ANY WAY!

NOTE - SHOULD I CUT TO DELETED KLINGON PRISON PLANET AND NERO ESCAPING SCENES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ‘STAR TREK’ MAIN TITLE??..OR INSTEAD CUT TO ‘VULCAN’ CITY AND AMANDA/ADULT SPOCK SCENES AT THAT POINT, KEEPING THE DELETED SCENE TO AFTER THE ‘THREE YEARS LATER’ MOMENT SHOWN FURTHER DOWN?? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4jEhpesnx0 - NOT SURE YET.

10. CUT TO DELETED SCENE OF NERO BREAKING OUT OF KLINGON PRISON - https://streamable.com/7nmjq (NOTE - STILL TO TRIM A COUPLE OF BITS ON THIS!)

11. CUT TO SPACE AGAIN, AS WE ‘SWIPE’ LEFT TO SEE THE NERO’S NARADA SHIP APPEAR, AS HE WATCHES ‘ELDERLY SPOCK’ APPEAR IN HIS JELLYFISH SHIP (NOTE - INITIALLY HE HAS NO EAR AS IT SUGGESTS HE’S THINKING BACK TO WHEN HE WAS TORTURED IN KLINGON PRISON - https://streamable.com/86eap

NOTE - I’M STILL THINKING ABOUT THIS POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RE-STRUCTURE TOO! - 1. / 2. / 3. / 4. / 5. / 6. AS ABOVE, BUT MIGHT INSTEAD THEN CUT FROM 6. (‘STAR TREK’ MAIN TITLE) DIRECTLY TO 10. (DELETED SCENE OF NERO BREAKING OUT OF KLINGON PRISON) INSTEAD! AND THEN I’D CUT FROM CLOSE-UP OF NERO SAYING “THE WAIT IS OVER!” DIRECTLY TO 7. (VULCAN CITY), FOLLOWED BY 8. AND 9. (WHICH ENDS WITH ‘THREE YEARS LATER’ WORDING), AND CONTINUE ON WITH 11. (‘SWIPES’ LEFT TO NERO’S NARADA SHIP AS ‘ELDERLY SPOCK’ APPEARS IN HIS JELLYFISH SHIP)

NOTE - I REALLY LIKE PUTTING VULCAN CITY SHOT AFTER ‘STAR TREK’ MAIN TITLE, SO IF I DECIDE AGAINST PUTTING DELETED SCENE OF NERO BREAKING OUT OF KLINGON PRISON IMMEDIATELY AFTER ‘STAR TREK’ MAIN TITLE INSTEAD, THEN I COULD ALTERNATIVELY SLOT IT IN-BETWEEN CLOSE-UP OF KIRK LOOKING UP AT ENTERPRISE BEING BUILT…AND KIRK RIDING HIS BIKE TOWARDS SHUTTLE AND PIKE. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT I WOULDN’T NEED TO CUT SPACE SHOT WITH ‘THREE YEARS LATER’ WORDING AT ALL - ANOTHER THING, I MIGHT DECIDE TO DO AWAY WITH ‘THREE YEARS LATER’ WORDING ALTOGETHER AS THE MUSIC JUST ENDS BEFORE THE WORDING APPEARS…SO I COULD ACTUALLY CUT TO THE ‘SWIPE’ TO THE LEFT TOWARDS THE NARADA SHIP INSTEAD AT THIS POINT SO THAT WE DON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT HOW LONG NERO WAS HANGING AROUND FOR ‘SPOCK’ TO APPEAR!
