00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.600
<v ->We wanna share with you some of the costume tests</v>

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:05.640
from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" that exists

3
00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:08.520
in moving footage, as well as still photography

4
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:13.520
to see the wide array of design and effort

5
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:16.830
that was put in into creating the look

6
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:18.630
for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."

7
00:00:20.149 --> 00:00:22.732
(gentle music)

8
00:00:39.699 --> 00:00:41.850
<v Mike>It was pretty much unanimously felt</v>

9
00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:44.970
that the bright color costumes from the original TV series

10
00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:47.940
would've been too distracting on a big theater screen.

11
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.860
What they actually ended up doing was going back

12
00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:52.350
to Gene Roddenberry's preferred color palette

13
00:00:52.350 --> 00:00:55.590
that he had used for the two original TV series pilots

14
00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:56.430
in the '60s.

15
00:00:56.430 --> 00:01:00.120
It was only after the series was actually green lit by NBC

16
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:04.470
that a mandate came down that they wanted more color

17
00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:07.530
in the costumes and in the sets in order to promote

18
00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:09.960
their NBC color programming.

19
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:11.400
On "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"

20
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.950
they actually really went back more to the color palette

21
00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:17.700
that Gene Roddenberry preferred, which was blues and beiges

22
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:21.153
and golds and metallic railings and metallic doors.
