New Footage of the Eleven Foot Enterprise Making a Flyby
Posted on August 24, 2017 by Mark Farinas

Proving The Roddenberry Vault can actually be a useful resource, I pulled this unused footage of the Enterprise doing what seems to be a 180º flyby. I made the stars the way they some of the effects companies did back in the day: I splatted paint with my thumb running off a brush onto paper and tinted some the resulting dots red and yellow. I then hand animated several layers of them to make a parallax effect as she passes by. I also pulled the ship in a little closer than she was in the footage just to make the pass a bit more dramatic. It’s not perfect, but it proves the shot could have been great had it been included in an episode (or ten).
