Digital de-aging has been a shortcut for bad movies, but a Star Trek short proves it can make for great art too

This is an excellent article about the also excellent Unification short for Star Trek by OTOY and the Roddenberry Archive and how it illuminates what separates the artful uses of de-aging from the crassly commercial.

I love how excellent Sam Witwer is at capturing Captain Kirk's/William Shatner's body language and posture in the 765874 - Unification short film by by #OTOY / the #RoddenberryArchive ⬅️. It's the same pose used for the familiar life size cardboard cutout standee ➡️ - you recognize Kirk right away!

If you haven't seen the Star Trek short "765874 - Unification" yet, watch it in quiet.

ST has never done anything like this. They came back 1 last time & it's all about spirituality, not science.

Michael Giaccino did the music & it gets better with each viewing.

A Vulcan lute and Vulcan chimes are a constant sight in Spock's quarters, be it in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Brother", #StarTrekSNW's "Spock Amok", #StarTrekTOS' "The Way to Eden" or the 765874 - Unification short film by #OTOY / the #RoddenberryArchive (top to bottom).

‘765874 Unification’ had several storyboard/previsualization pass edits as we were getting ready for shoots/reshoots. Jonathan Roybal, a layout artist I love to work with helped me plan for the shoots in regards to how/what we wanted to have on the frame.
