Check Out This Moody Shot From The Remastered "Wink Of An Eye" STAR TREK Episode!!

Merrick here...
Here's an image from one of the upcoming (remastered) STAR TREK episodes. It airs this weekend. It's from "Wink of an Eye" -- in which Kirk and the gang end up living at an accelerated speed... (while the world around them seems to move at an almost complete standstill). This would be a reworked shot from the opening of the episode...on the planet Scalos...where an Enterprise landing part arrives to find an (apparently) desolate world.
I really like the atmosphere of this shot, and the detailing (archetecture, lighting) of the city in the background, sense of desolation. When I first heard about an intent to remaster the classic series, I was a bit cynical. Truth be told...even though it took a while...the remastering team seems to have found its stride & have been turning in some really nice (although not entirely consistent) work. The CGI Enterprise model used at the beginning of the project has been replaced with a far more convincing construct. Some nice visual kinetics have been added to effects shots (although they're organic & never as "over the top" as we've seen in other Special Edition fare). Check out "Trouble with Tribbles" or "The Menagerie" to get good examples of episodes done right. CLICK HERE for a list of upcoming remastered episodes, and where you can find them.
