    • @martyjehovah
      @martyjehovah 9 месяцев назад +5

      A lot of the petttiness is softened by the perspective, since his frustration a lot of the time seems to be sympathizing with the struggles of the people making the show, rather than annoyed at the crew, for example all his wishing to get rid of that one particularly troublesome strip of shiny plexiglass with the ship on it. His nitpicks sound a lot like how you imagine the crew might've complained about some of that stuff being more trouble than it was worth.

  • @MichaelRushMusic
    @MichaelRushMusic 10 месяцев назад +825

    As someone who works full time in film as a gaffer and lighting technician, I'm honestly surprised that there aren't more mistakes like this. Hiding the production equipment, camera marks, and boom mics is a very big part of our job and its a credit to the professionalism of the crew that they did such a great job of that.
    Just yesterday I was gaffing a music video and using black paper tape to hide a light and some reflections. The dolly grip jokingly remarked, "you could make a whole film with just black paper tape man," and he's right. While there are some obvious cover ups on the bridge for reflections, there are probably a thousand other occurrences of black paper tape or matte card stock in shot that you can't see, even in HD.
    I had the chance to work for Marvin Rush (no relation as we found out after discussing our heritage) for a few weeks a few years ago. He who was the cinematographer for TNG, Voy, DS9, and Ent, and it was really hard not to be a total nerd around him and relate every shot he asked me to light to some Star Trek scene that he had done. 😂

      You can tell as well that they got a lot better at hiding things in later seasons.
      They really should have thought more about the back screens when building the bridge set though. Even mild angling of the panels would reduced the lighting glare substantially.
      The actors marks would also have been such an easy fix when transferring to Blu-Ray. Im not going to be able to unsee them now haha.

    Man, RLM’s other stuff has way surpassed Plinkett. When HITB dropped 10+ years ago, people just wanted more Plinkett reviews. It was smart to push through the risk of branching out and failing. They could’ve just fallen into the trap of hitting the Plinkett whopper button to diminishing returns, becoming another “damn, they’re still around?” channel after their moment passed.
    Today through consistency and force of personality, they have the freedom to do anything they want without losing their audience. Star Trek trivia, an embarrassing movie about a space cop, Jenga with Macaulay Culkin… it’s incredible really. Love you guys, RLM forever.

The drummer's brushes don't touch the snare drum or the cymbal, the pianist does not depress the keys, and in a close-up of the bassist's hand, the strings do not vibrate after supposedly being plucked.

    In the old TNG Technical Manual it says the famous tall, narrow font they used for everything was intentionally hard to read, I think so it would blend into the background. It's fascinating that they'd intentionally work against their own design principles years later by making all the signage so readable.

    Mike's 15-year plan of starting a RUclips Channel with a Mr. Plinkett video about Star Wars - something everyone -cares- cared about - building an audience, and ultimately transitioning into Plinkett videos about Star Trek (something only me cares about).

    I think the lesson to take away from this is that if something is good enough- acting, storytelling, and whatnot- it's a lot easier for mistakes to show up in shot and get ignored or go unnoticed as they pass by. I think that's why most people ignore, or may not even notice, these mistakes in shows like TNG, versus everyone noticing the Starbucks cup in Game of Thrones.

      You should see also how scripts get paired down, chopped up, and rearranged in editing. Original scripts might have about 2 hours worth of filmmable content. Then they omit scenes, combine others, remove characters, and truncate/simplify dialogue to get it down to 1 hour, film it, and then edit it down further to fit for television. As a result some episodes come out weak, somewhat hamfisted, with important missing scenes/characters/dialogue, often with a rushed/deus ex ending, and disowned by the writers as completely divorced from their original idea/concept/plot.

    It's just parts of the ship's automatic cleaning systems. The marks on the floor are the carpet cleaning system anticipating where there will be more dirt. The deck numbers change because sometimes they actually are in another simulation, but they just don't want to mention it. Also, the ship's door numbers change because the ship is constantly moving everything around through a giant tube system like in Charlie and Chocolate factory or J. J. Abram's Star Trek.
