-: We wanna share with you some of the costume tests
from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" that exists
in moving footage, as well as still photography
to see the wide array of design and effort
that was put in into creating the look
for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."
(gentle music)
Mike: It was pretty much unanimously felt
that the bright color costumes from the original TV series
would've been too distracting on a big theater screen.
What they actually ended up doing was going back
to Gene Roddenberry's preferred color palette
that he had used for the two original TV series pilots
in the '60s.
It was only after the series was actually green lit by NBC
that a mandate came down that they wanted more color
in the costumes and in the sets in order to promote
their NBC color programming.
On "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"
they actually really went back more to the color palette
that Gene Roddenberry preferred, which was blues and beiges
and golds and metallic railings and metallic doors.
