Star Trek Trailer description

[Emperor]

It is attached to Cloverfield...

 

Here’s the “Star Trek” trailer description. Hope you can use it.

 

Slow Paramount logo.

 

Bad Robot logo.

 

Black, suddenly some sparks (very saturated [with] Michael Bay-looking cinematography).

 

We hear an old NASA radio countdown: “30 seconds and counting.”

 

Close up of a timeless guy with goggles leaning down doing some wielding and sparks flying around.

 

He lifts his googles. Slightly futuristic head covering. It’s not a space suit, by the way.

 

The dude leans down and wields some more. He’s standing on big metal.

 

“From director J.J. Abrams” (blue font with a nice lens flare).

 

Some Kennedy speech about space flight: “The eyes of the world now look to space.”

 

People walking around the saucer section. The wielders are everywhere – showing size.

 

We hear: “The eagle has landed.”

 

Huge overhead shot pans across [and] suddenly [shows] what looks like miles of scaffolding underneath.

 

Title: “The future begins”.

 

Really impressive shot from … people all over the ship and you can see a huge industrialized city or shipyard in the background. It’s being built on Earth [rather than] in space.

 

Neil Armstrong: “One small step for man…”

 

Camera slowly cranes up over the whole saucer section.

 

Then we hear Leonard Nimoy’s line: “Space. The final frontier…” and the familiar “Star Trek” theme horns.

 

The shot continues [and reveals] the writing on the top of the saucer – “U.S.S. Enterprise” – and these huge aircraft-like warp engines in the background. Technically, the first reveal of what we’re seeing.

 

Just the Starfleet log (no title).

 

Title card: “Under construction”.

 

“Christmas 2008”

 

Overall, really great teaser (by the definition of the term). Very industrial. I’m most intrigued by the background Earth stuff.

Can't wait til this trailer comes out. Here's a trailer made by a fan... very well done, you'd never know it wasn't the real thing.

Found the actual Teaser Trailer here: Not the greatest quality, but good enough for me for now:

I'm beginning to feel the anticipation kickin' in... ;D

[Cadsuane]

I saw this online the other day and it made me chuckle. ^_^

 

[Tenshin_Xo]

Cads do you know how to shrink something like that down to the avatar pic size?  I have something great in mind here. ;)

[Cadsuane]

I actually don't know how, or if you can, shrink that. Animated gifs open in Photoshop as single, unanimated images, so I'd lose all the good stuff.  :-\

[Shendare]

On it.

100x100 for an avatar, with some invisible space at top and bottom to keep it from distorting.

[Cadsuane]

What program/how did you shrink it, if you don't mind me asking?

[Shendare]

1. Opened the original in my old GIF animation program (Animation Shop 3)

2. Created a new 100x100 animation

3. Cut a 300x226 frame from the original

4. Pasted it into Paint Shop Pro

5. Cropped the top two pixels (useless black in every frame)

6. Resized the frame to 100x75

7. Resized the canvas to 100x100, with blank space at top & bottom

8. Copied avatar-sized frame into avatar-sized animation

9. Go back to #3 until done.

10. Save, upload, and post!

 

Took... *glance*... about 20 minutes.

[Cadsuane]

Ok, thanks! Just wanted to see if there was a way to do it with PS that I just don't know yet.  ;D

[Shendare]

It would certainly be handy. *laugh*

[Tenshin_Xo]

Shen, you're awesome!!  Have you heard the Jean Luc Picard Techno remix?  It seems to fit the gif oddly enough. 

 

I also had a link to a gif that doesn't exist anymore. :(

 

[Shendare]

I believe so.

 

I am... Jean-Luc Picard, of the U.S.S... En-ter-prise.

Have you seen the actual song-and-dance clip this animated GIF was made from? It's pretty darned funny.

[Tenshin_Xo]

Yes.

 

My name is Tenshin and I am a recovering Trekkie.

I loved TNG, liked Voyager, and sorta liked DS9 and Enterprise. I haven't spent money buying the episodes of any of them on DVD, but I may end up getting them for Blu-Ray someday, or whatever comes after it. *laugh*

 

I'm looking forward to the new movie (lacking in TNG characters though it may be), and wondering what the next series will be like.

 

Oh, and I'm still wondering what will come about with the Trek-based MMORPG.

[ironcross]

viva trek. i still like the classic vertion the best. liked voyeger and ds9, tng was ok, enterprise sucked

O shit, did I forget to post about the news on the StarTrek Online?

http://www.gucomics.com/comic/?cdate=20080115

 

recent months Perpetual Entertainment (Now called P2 Entertainment) has abandonned Gods & Heroes (despite being near completion), liquidated their assets, became embroiled in a legal battle with their PR firm Kohnke, and have now decided not to continue development on the much anticipated MMO Star Trek Online.

 

Our pals at WarCry are reporting that the license and content for the game have been passed on to another developer, the code however has not. [ more info ] Now, I'm not an MMO developer myself, but it would seem to me that sets the project back significantly. And where that doesn't exactly mean the game has been zapped, for the time being it might as well be.

 

[Shendare]

Losers.

 

Don't take on an MMORPG project (i.e., long term, possibly never ending... hello?) if you're not going to see it through!

 

*imagines mailing brown paper bag o' poo and feels marginally better*

I know how you feel... That mmo had alot of Potential.

What makes this especially annoying is, that they just sold off there Concept of the game! They didn't even bother to sell there engine!

Meaning,

A) There 'engine' sucked so bad, that they knew it wasn't worth selling

B) They are just idiots.

 

Either way, A + B are still true. ;)

Star Trek movie pushed back to summer 2009. Mo' money.

 

http://www.variety.com/VR1117980912.html

 

Paramount is pushing back the release of J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" from Dec. 25 to May 8, 2009, saying the pic's gross potential is greater as a summer tentpole.

[SinisterDeath]

BS!

 

They better spend that extra 6 months making a better transition from CG to Real Time! WE don't want another Matrix: 2 on our hands. ;)
