STARTREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES


Produced in 1964, with the unaired pilot "The Cage". The early episodes of Startrek are still to this day viewed by millions. Though in the sixties, special effects where not to the standard they are today, the series still managed to produced some remarkable imagery.

 
Hard to believe is the fact that most, if not all of the special F/X from the show can be produced today on the average home computer. Infact, the internet is filled with an assortment of artwork, produced by fans. What makes this site any different from the other's you might ask? It is my intention to produce all of my artwork in a way that resembles the techniques used in the original shows as closely as possible. Giving the impression that they could very well be from an episode. Only images which receive the highest praise will ever be chosen for entrance into the galleries.

Based upon a scene taken from the episode entitled "The Corbomite Maneuver". In which an alien space probe, threatens the Enterprise with lethal radiation.

This was my first combination of Lightwave and photoshop. Here I've tried to recreate the scene from
"Who Mourns for Adonais". Where the greek god Apollo grab's the Enterprise.

Looking at new idea's, I decided to go for a new look. This is a scene you would never have seen on the series. As the cost would have been too expensive. But now, all you need is a home computer.

This is a scene we see often in the series. Check the episode
"The Ultimate Computer". This is one of my most recent images. As I have been working on the bussard collectors (Orange starry things). I'm now happy with there look, at last.

This picture would go well with the starting words."Captains log stardate....". For those who are keen nitpickers. All of my titles are simply for my enjoyment. And not actual episode names.

The Enterprise cruises along on it's journey. This camera angle was usually used. For displaying the Enterprise firing Phasers or Photon torpedo's.

This is the picture you should have seen. When the Enterprise left orbit around the planet Vulcan.

Not always the diplomat. Kirk could always find other methods to defeat his foe. "Fire, Phasers!!"

This is my interpretation of the great energy barrier. In this scene, the Enterprise is chasing after a Klingon cruiser. And as we can see, the Klingon ship is venting gas into space. Certainly an effect they would have liked in the 60's.

This goes back to recreating the all to familiar camera angle. That was used in the series so often. I used photoshop to apply the green colonization and some of the dark dab's on the ship.

For the amount of times this shot was used. Do I really need to explain why I wanted to recreate it?, I thought not. All in all I was fairly happy with this image. The planet especially.

I was inspired to do this, after watching the episode with Khan in. Where we get to see the Enterprise moved up along the Botany Bay sleeper ship.

What if Kirk had gone through with his order. When the Enterprise was threatened by the god-machine Vaal?. Possible something similar to this. But don't quote me on that.
