Douglas Trumbull Saved STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE | TIFF

. A vlog by the YouTube channel named in the video’s upper left corner and serves as the original blog post for this content.

In this previously unreleased extended cut of a 2016 interview, visual effects legend Douglas Trumbull describes the “death-defying” and “extremely challenging” production of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a project that contained more effects shots than Star Wars and Close Encounters combined. Facing a strict six-month deadline and a studio terrified of a class-action lawsuit from theater owners, Trumbull negotiated for his professional freedom in exchange for saving the film. He details the technical hurdles of combining VistaVision and 70mm formats, as well as his decision to completely rebuild the “clunky” original Enterprise model with a sophisticated internal lighting system and custom airbrushed pearlescent panels to make it a “beautiful spacecraft”. Trumbull reflects on creating the iconic, four-minute dialogue-free “reveal” sequence of the ship and the complex optical compositing required to maintain lens flares and interactive lighting in a pre-digital era. Ultimately, the grueling 24-hour-a-day schedule took a personal toll, leaving Trumbull hospitalized for exhaustion with ulcers by the end of the shoot.For more about the Toronto International Film Festival and our year-round programming at TIFF Lightbox, visit http://tiff.net.Subscribe to watch more from TIFF: https://www.youtube.com/c/tiffWant more TIFF?

Note from Zennie62Media and ZennieReport.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”.

The uploaded video is from the Zennie62 YouTube channel. It is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the nflnewsbyzennie62.com site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World.

Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution.

We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this approach, the problem is far less, though by no means solved.

Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
