- Version 2.0 of my original TNG intro recreation now in 4k!
This video includes many fixes and improvements including animated crew members during the final flyover!
All rights go to CBS/Viacom.
Not sure if anyone noticed, but I also animated the bussard collectors. I tried to make it subtle but noticeable if you were looking for it.;)
I did not notice that, BUT I did notice the nice touch of lights turning on and off in some of the rooms.
great stuff, but would it not be cooler to have little more time for heating up/ lighting up (0:45) the warp engines?
Very interesting. I would make a suggestion as an observation. When you pass by the bridge, perhaps show Picard standing in front of his Ready Room window as the camera is panning around just before you see the observation lounge. It might add a just a little more to it. Love how you showed Janeway, Seven and what looked like Chaykote standing by the window on your Star Trek Voyager intro.
If you showed this to CBS, Paramount, and Viacom, you'd get hired in an instant, it's THAT GOOD
Well done, sir! They most certainly more legitimate to the series than that shown in the Picard series. Most of all, I didn't care for the look of the bussard collectors. They looked like three swirling fans. I guess, they were trying to make them look more like the original Enterprise, but they stopped using that look in The Next Generation.
I love how the Enterprise looks in this version.
She's fabulous. I love the Galaxy Class design.
The version from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, has parts that were cut out, when the theme was made into the theme for TNG. PLEASE work your magic, on it!!!! This is truly magnificent!! It's like I'm 7 years old, in footie pajamas, watching the pilot for the first time, at Grandma's all over again! THE FEELS, THE FEELS!!!
The enterprise E from the movies is my favorite. Star trek first contact and star trek nemesis
Loved the extended above shot fly over, made me feel like I was a kid again.
CGI SHIT. OLD one was based on true model
Love the random room lights blinking on and off.
Was about to mention the same thing.
Ditto - wish TNG, DS9, etc had done exactly this. The static lighting patterns always bugged me...
@@ministryoflies1344
Maybe so, but the florescent tube lights they used weren't capable of that kind of discrimination. With fiber optic lighting, maybe.
However, for the most part having random lights turn-on-and-off would have been impossible because of motion-control photography! The regular strobe lights worked, but not random room lights.
Yeah, I know that the tech at the time couldn't manage that consistency and detail...syncing up over multiple passes etc would have been a pain. But maybe if DS9 or Voyager get the 4k restored treatment, who knows..
@@ministryoflies1344
So far as I'm aware, the only other Classic Trek that is even _technically_ capable of being upgraded to 4K would be _ENT,_ and that's mostly because all the space stuff was already all-CGI, and Season Four was the first (and only) to be filmed digitally.
If I understand correctly, the problem with upgrading _DS9_ and _VOY_ to 4K is they'd have to digitally recreate every single physical model, and they don't have access to those anymore.
On top of which- if the rumors are to be believed- Paramount Global is on the verge of bankruptcy, and they're looking to sell-off _Star Trek_ to Warner Brothers (assuming Alex Klutzman and Jar Jar Abrams don't -fuck up- that too), and so they're not capable of doing another 4K release at this time.
Love the Galaxy class, and this makes her shine in all her glory! Congratulations!
I prefer the Connies or the Excelsiors
People don't realise how big it is
Did anyone else notice he created what the team for picard used as the opening shot of the Picard Season 3 finale with the flyover the saucer arriving at Jupiter? It's almost identical!
Yes, I did. I wonder if the Picard VFX team saw this and were inspired. 🤔
Yes! Amazing!
This is honestly the most faithful, clean, and accurate CG recreation I've ever seen on CZcams (plus for using the Season 1 theme). So much so, that this has become the definitive version of the TNG intro in my head. You are a true Star Trek fan, but above all else, an incredible artist. Top job.
So I’m not the only one noticed that it was S1 either 👍🏼
@@Thermool Yeah i think the entire recreation was based on the intro of Encounter at Farpoint
The whole damn series should've used this, updated it for Season 3+ and whatnot, a huge missed opportunity with the Blu-Rays
@@Thermool How can you tell the difference between the themes without direct comparison? Legit question, because I can't tell the difference without listening to them side by side.
@@AdmiralKarelia Season 1 and most of season 2 as a whole used a lot of that typical 80’s electronic synthesizer that shows of the time used in their sound tracks. Now as TNG progressed, it was phased out slowly and when they came up to season 3 I believe they changed the whole opening credits including the music, which was based on TMP. Basically they de-80fied the opening credits to more closely, yet TNG like, the TMP music.
How are you this damn good?
There’s never a moment I’m not an absolute awe over your work.
I love this so much.
Excellent job!
Startrek in 4k. Last big dream come true.
I was sad when she crashed on Star Trek 7. All the places she went. Nice introduction.
DUDE--This final fly over at the end of this (at least in part), my friend... was done at the end of PICARD. I just noticed this today. Well done...(again).
Neat that you used the Farpoint version again:) As well as that Enterprise descending into view shot!
That’s what stood out to me too. I wish that had been in season one of TNG with that pass over the top of the Enterprise.
@@mythdusterds Since being pedantic is what Trek fans do best...allow me to be pedantic! We do get a pass over the top of the Enterprise. But it just starts from the top of the saucer section coming into view on the lower portion of the screen.
@@vengeance1701 Wish this intro was here throughout the whole series, can't get enough of how well executed this is!
imagine 1987, the first ever episode, i sat there and taped it thinking this will never be good. Humble pie 35 years later. God i miss this.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!
She does a proper warp stretch as she leaps,into warp, and the star explosion point is far enough away she feels,like she’s going REALLY fast, I love these warp jumps, the model is great, everything syncs nicely and doesn’t leave me watching the various plates failing to interact nicely and going “uh-huh” like I used to.. great job ^_^
Bravo! all of a sudden, I'm 8 years old again. Thank you for this.
The effect of the Enterprise zooming past the camera looks PHENOMENAL.
Amazing how closely that final flyover shot mirrored the Enterprise-D's approach scene to Jupiter in the Picard Season 3 finale! And this was created first.
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice that!
It does that in the TV show intro as well, and I'm certain the Jupiter scene was done to intentionally mimic that intro.
@@AdmiralKarelia Similar, but not quite. The last shot in the TV intro, the ship comes from behind and below camera.
The Jupiter shot, they warp in and the camera comes in close on the bridge and follows it around to reveal Jupiter, getting much closer to the hull than they ever could with the shooting miniature in the old days. 🤓
@@ragingsithmaster Yeah, I was trying to find an example and I couldn't, I think I'm conflating a few shots in my head. I do remember seeing this shot somewhere before though, recognizing it again in this video, before Picard S3 was even out. Maybe as an opening shot during the episode title or something, idk.
@@AdmiralKarelia The Enterprise-D flyby in the Star Trek Enterprise finale, maybe?
Its here that you truly get to appreciate just how gorgeous a vessel the Enterprise-D was.
Many Starfleet ships are gorgeous. Defiant, Intrepid, Constitution Refit. But none are so *majestic* as the Galaxy class.
Thank you for keeping the Star Trek I grew up with alive. It's good to see that youtube can still provide a platform for small creators to share their hard work and art for the joy of others.
Beautiful. The Enterprise looks gorgeous. And the attention to detail-you can see the city lights on South America and all the visible parts of Earth facing away from the sun. Perfect.
The D has never looked more gorgeous. The detail is gobsmacking. Fantastic work! Thanks 🙏
Love the visual reference to the very first in-episode shot of the Enterprise-D from the TNG pilot combined with that super-detailed close pan from PIC S3.
Beautiful, beautiful opening. With all the details, grandeur and beauty of "Enterprise-D". Work Wonderful Gentlemen... Work Wonderful.
After thinking about how I can transfer the feelings I had while watching this, I can just say, that I got overwhelmed multiple times by the rendering, the visual effects of the warp-jump, the music and the overall feeling that you conveyed, which was exactly the feeling I had every time I sat down once again to watch an episode of this wonderful Series!
Thank you very much for your hard work and engagement!
THAT FINAL PAN OF THE BIG D MADE ME SO BLASTED HAPPY😂😂😂
BRO! OMG THAT WAS EXQUISIT! When the enterprise fanfare started and she came into view I got that same old thrill. When we got to the panover of the bridge complex and you had picard walking LtoR in the conference room window I CHEERED! FLAWLESS!
This is my favorite CZcams vid of all time.
The sneak peak for Picard season 3 episode 10 has a virtually identical sequence and camera angle to the end of your intro recreation.
Oh the camera panning up to the ship on Brent Spiner's credit, love that farpoint shot. Glad you found a way to combine it with the final shot from the original credits.
I Must say as an Digital image restorer and Computer engineer and al time Star Trek Fan Boy this is unreal i needed this in the 90s where were you mate you need a job at Paramount Pictures not kidding
This work of yours is simply impressive. This is by far, the most superior intro remake I have seen so far.
I take my hat off to you.
Has to watch it a few times. Didn't realize there was lights going on and off. Very nice touch.
Nice balance of size and weight of ship. This CG actually made it look more real, well done...
Well Done love the textures added to the surface, with lights and emergency escape pods its also nice how you changed the angle of the first pass it hides the bottom starfleet logo.
WONDERFUL.. i love how the shots you have done recreate "A final Unity's" (from the game) styled intro at the ending
Voyager series was my first Star Trek ever. And I loved at first sight.
I always wondered what it must have been like to see this intro for the very first time to someone that grew up with the original series. To hear Kirk's words through Picard's voice, and to see the new enterprise come into view for the very first time must of sent goosebumps through every fan.
Well.... no. The general reaction from OG TOS Trekkers ranged from disinterest to outright disdain. TNG was not welcomed with open arms. It wasn't until the 3rd season when the majority of classic Trekkers came around. Prior to that, almost every aspect from ship design to their spandex uniforms were subject of ridicule. Even the Jerry Goldsmith theme was robbed from "real" Trek in many fans' eyes. Sorry, but no. No goosebumps. It was a different time. We came around & now TNG is roundly embraced.
@@Koldeman my grandfather watched ever episode.
From Farpoint to All Good Things.
@@Koldeman thanks for pointing that out. I find it ironic seeing people complaining about modern Trek like Picard, as they've seemingly forgotten that TNG took at least a couple of seasons to come good.
@@Koldeman To be fair, though, those spandex uniforms did, and always will, look and BE ridiculous.
If we'd had this clear an image of the ship back then and not that crappy video resolution they used, I would have actually felt something for this ship. She always looked like an overstyled model without any detail, and it turned me off. I only started to feel and believe it to be an actual ship with people on it back when Generations came into theatres and we finally got a high resolution image of her. Absolutely loved it. Your creation here is superior to that one.
It's time to release a 4k version of the full journey box set and it will be amazing to watch your favourite episodes in 4k. Yesterday's Enterprise would look awesome and even Q who! We can only wait and hope!
holy heck! The high res rendering in all its glory! The animated bussard collectors, the shadows from the nacelles, the lighting is superb!
Amazing! Now this with the enterprise d (galaxy x) refit with possible Rikers voice now that would be something !
1:33 I love that you can see the senior staff in the observation lounge. It was also part of the actual intro but you almost couldn't notice
I love how the lights in the quaters change!
details!
OMG that looks so awesome!! I love listening to the themes of the older trek
Love the shot of the Enterprise coming in from above, which was only shown in Encounter at Farpoint and like one other time.
This version it looks like more lights are on in the saucer section! I love it!
Made my tear this is wonderfully respectfully but modernized
I like how some of the lights turned on and off. Its as though people are either done with those rooms or are about to use them or they're going to bed or waking up for their shifts.
damn, feels right at home with modern VFX
i will have to rewatch this on 4k screen
Not what we're used to, but a stunning remake on a classic intro, non the less. 🖖🖖🖖
There was something magical about this.
When I used to watch TNG.DS9.VOY and ENT I imagined that future effects would be like your video.Clean, detailed and beautiful to look at.And not like Discovery and Picard with those absurd glares.Thanks
Upon the close up of the enterprise, the sheer size of it just blew me away !
Starting at five seconds to 23 seconds, I always thought that section of the theme to be haunting. I love it.
This is great. I don't remember the nacelles stretching in such a bizarre fashion for the the most part it's spot on.
Appreciate you recreating the tiny detail of people walking around the conference room ;)
Wow! The final shot of the Enterprise really got me! Beautifull!
The camera move at the end is almost exactly the same as when the Enterprise arrives at Jupiter in Picard. Someone on the VFX team definitely saw your video before they made that shot. Ha.
Amazing! Props for incorporating the Encounter at Farpoint shot
We need this at the start of Picard S3E10
That was so damn incredible. I mean, wow. Wow! I'm speechless. So much attention to detail. I could pause on the Enterprise, and see things (in my Picard accent) "never seen before"!
Love it! This was my enterprise growing up, but I miss the little drawing they had for people in the Observation Lounge
What a majestic ship she is
Wow, even the lights on the dark side of earth. Damn your awesome
Although if there’s 50 million people on the Moon wouldn’t that be lit up too?
Tng is my 3rd favorite trek behing DS9 and Enterprise... But TNG intro is truly epic nothing else compares
The escape pods, you can see them, thats my favorite part!!!❤❤❤
1:32 you can see people walking inside the sip through the windows..... awesome!
From the 1:20 mark to 1:39 (just before the Enterprise goes warp) someone from the production of Picard season 3 must have been a fan of this video as it was used during the opener of episode 10, when the Enterprise comes out of warp near Jupiter. With the exception of the burn damage to the front of the Saucer (continuity nod from Generations) it's practically shot-for-shot.
This is incredible. Goosebumps omfg!
..its 2023 I'm 42 ..but I remember watching in1987 . But the only way was watching on a 12 " black and white tv. When I saw it in color....it is beautiful.
I was watching the sneak peek clip for episode 10 of Picard and I noticed the shot of the Enterprise coming out of warp looked almost identical to the one you made of the Enterprise at the end of this video. Looks like where they got the inspiration for that shot.🙂
Amazing. But it really needs the TMP style warp effect too. We know you know how to do it!
Damn, now I want to watch all 7 seasons in beautiful 4k!!!
Gorgeous. The D is still the most beautiful Federation Starship of them all. An absolute Queen.
I love that you added the animated crew members! That’s one of my favorite parts of the original intro!
1st season had the best opening imo
Keep it up.
Nicely done. LLAP, JTVFX
I just love it! Bloody legend you are Jason T. Now a favourite
I can even see people in the observation lounge! Gold shirt is walking around! Thanks for sharing this, Jason, it's fantastic \o/
Incredible. I could see the crew on the bridge. I cried.
This was beautiful. I love how we can see the crew on the bridge.
I've always thought yesterday's enterprise would have been so much more awesome with actual Klingon battlecruisers, apparently they wanted to do a whole new ship for that episode but didn't have the time of budget. Great work.
Oh bummer, the quick ending at 1:44. Season 2's intro had that final bit at the end that made the whole musical intro 3x more epic.
When I think of Star Trek, this is what comes to mind. The other intros are okay, but this one is the best.
Daaaaaaamn, I wasn't broke but you actually fixed it!!!!!!!
Wow I streamed this to my telly and I need to stop watching your vids on my phone! Awesome stuff.
Ever tried this on your subs man? I bump the star wars intro with my subs man. People aren't ready for that man.
Your work is absolutely amazing. The Enterprise D has never looked so good as this.
You are so, so awesome! This looks so unbelievably fantastic!!!😃👍🏽
WOW!! That looked and felt SO FRESH and NEW!! I felt like watching a few episodes. NICELY DONE👍!!
Thank you for leaving the saucers impulse engines off . Excellent work sir
That final flyby ...woooooow
Terrific. I love the model of the Enterprise D.
This was an amazing piece of work. I love the little details, such as various stateroom lights turning on and off as the ship passes the camera. Phenomenal!
The only thing i don't like about this is the fact that during the credits, the enterprise came from above instead of always being below and after the credits like in the og.
Besides that, perfection.
As impressive as CGI is. You have to admire how far things came when this show came out. In the original sequence, you can even see someone walking past a rear window. Impressive for 1987. Has anyone else ever noticed that?
Wondering if Paramount almost exactly recreating your flyby in the last shot in Picard S3 E10 is just a mere coincidence
I noticed that, especially since the traditional opening has the Enterprise flying under the camera rather than that flyby at that point. I also noticed that you can see things behind the windows in almost exactly the same way. Even the angle from behind the ship following the flyover matches up.
Loved that slightly tweaked first beauty pass of the ship
Absolute chills down my spine.
Felicitaciones 👏🏼, un excelente trabajo, si de creara un streaming como ese nivel de remasterización a 4K yo me suscribiría sin pensarlo mucho.
The detail on the Earth at the beginning! wow!
That is REALLY GOOD my lad!
