Neutral Zone Star Trek Set
Transcript

today's adventure brings me just over
0:02
the Florida state line just a few miles
0:04
like three or four miles over the
0:06
Florida state line
0:08
to King's land
0:10
welcome everyone to a cold brisk just
0:13
over the Florida state line into Georgia
0:15
mourn
0:17
doing all right there a little chilly
0:19
we're gonna be going indoors though
0:21
to the Star Trek Enterprise Recreation
0:26
one of the two in the U.S this is the
0:29
one that's in the South there's another
0:30
one in New York New York I've never been
0:33
to one have you ever been to one no this
0:35
is my first time
0:36
going on the Enterprise I know it's
0:38
exciting excited based on Star Trek the
0:40
Original Series TOS for sure is what
0:43
they call it yep TOs and also was used
0:46
in a new recreated Show online called
0:49
Star Trek Continues Star Trek Continues
0:52
it's gonna be pretty cool and remind me
0:55
again who is going to be giving the tour
0:56
today for us uh Vic Manana who plays
0:58
Captain Kirk in the Star Trek continue
1:00
show and also uh Chris Dewan who is the
1:04
son of James doing I play Scotty who
1:06
plays Scotty
1:08
also this is Greg's Game Room by the way
1:10
I introduce you as Greg he has a YouTube
1:12
channel also check out his channel
1:13
Greg's gaming all right I'm inviting you
1:14
to join me and Greg as we board the
1:17
Enterprise
1:22
are you excited are you just warming
1:22
your hands look at this car a little bit
1:23
of both Jordan and Craig
1:26
shall you I'm already seeing the hand
1:28
signal for live long and prosper also
1:31
the sticker of the neutral zone there's
1:34
quite a few other people already here
1:35
because we got the second time slot of
1:37
the day at 10 30. this is the nine
1:40
o'clock
1:41
time slot what does that say on the side
1:44
this says
1:46
can I turn it upside down it says Kirk's
1:49
chair
1:51
take a look at that that's awesome
1:57
we haven't even seen it yet but I'm
1:57
already excited so these must be like
1:58
interchangeable pieces they use inside
2:00
yeah if there wasn't any signage up he
2:02
would never know
2:04
what was back in Behind These Walls
2:06
obviously there's a big banner here
2:13
where's the entries I think that's the
2:13
entry point right there just to show in
2:15
correlation from Central Florida where
2:17
we're both at so we had to drive up this
2:20
direction
2:21
crossed over the state line it's just a
2:23
little north of Jacksonville you can see
2:24
it's right on
2:25
the state line like a parade of cars
2:28
pulling through here all the same type
2:31
of automobiles
2:42
let's say Florida be when they were on
2:42
the Georgia Florida Line gets this kind
2:44
of temperatures it's nice but it is it
2:46
is brisk and cool 42 degrees here in
2:49
Kingsland and even though we are a
2:51
little chilly side this is for posterity
2:53
Greg right here I know you're excited
2:56
but I think of friends of mine that love
2:59
Star Trek
3:00
you're in the top percentile
3:03
in fact you kind of got me into it a
3:05
little more and I've seen all of them
3:06
and recently a couple years ago I bought
3:08
the Blu-ray set and I watched all of
3:10
them in order from start to finish
3:38
so you're a little bit early this
3:38
morning
4:16
kind of interesting though how you can
4:16
see
4:17
you know it's all it's all trickery
4:20
because inside this building but the set
4:22
is over here I think I'm most excited
4:24
about going under the bridge obviously
4:26
what are you most excited about seeing
4:28
the engine room I just want to see the
4:29
whole thing you see all of it yeah you
4:31
see chatting her over here it's like a
4:33
complimentary skinny to the one I have
4:35
in the game room yeah you have a you
4:37
have a Shatner and you're in the Greg's
4:38
game room it's the uh from Star Trek six
4:41
but this one is from the original series
4:43
and I was looking over there obviously
4:46
there's no shell
4:53
thank you
5:05
this was in Mirror Mirror right yep
5:05
that's called an agonizer you were just
5:07
watching that in the hotel in the hotel
5:09
room yeah
5:21
I already bought a phaser at DragonCon
5:21
Recreation I did I haven't put it
5:23
together yet
5:24
just about it in the Box still working
5:25
on it
5:26
you forget the company that did the
5:29
model kits for the Enterprise
5:30
and they needed more stock they needed
5:35
more things to sell so they created the
5:37
shuttle and then they ended up building
5:38
it they they put up the money to build
5:40
it for the actual show oh no kidding
5:42
yeah but it started off as like a
5:43
marketing thing so that's a lot more
5:45
stuff here are the rules of conduct be
5:47
respectful the sets absolutely no food
5:50
or drink watch your step at all times
5:52
take as many selfies as you like feel
5:54
free to post them like to ask questions
5:57
and you may exit and return the studio
5:59
as many times as you like no smoking and
6:02
most importantly
6:04
get them troubles
6:06
thank you guys for coming thanks for uh
6:09
braving the brisk Saturday morning
6:11
weather uh but that's cool I recognize
6:14
you an active Film Studio you're
6:16
basically standing backstage at a Sound
6:19
Stage
6:20
um
6:21
uh it started in 2010 with a group
6:25
called Starship Farragut they were in a
6:28
smaller location down in St Mary's that
6:30
building got sold
6:32
Vic mignano who is the executive
6:35
producer and uh starred in Star Trek
6:39
Continues was working with them at the
6:42
time and what Vic did was take the
6:45
blueprints from Paramount in 1966.
6:49
and scope out where everything would
6:51
have been at Paramount and that's what
6:53
you're going to walk through so it's
6:55
really one of the closest approximations
6:58
to what you would have seen as you've
7:00
been at the studio in 1966 and when I
7:03
when you give me the queue the doors are
7:05
going to open
7:07
the door
7:36
welcome to engineering
7:39
uh you notice we have some Sounds
7:41
playing in the background to make you
7:42
think you're on a Starship when we film
7:45
we don't have any sound because that has
7:47
to draw it afterwards we don't want it
7:49
to disrupt what we're filming uh one of
7:52
the first
7:54
reaction to me that when people walk in
7:56
is it's smaller then it works or let you
8:00
imagine and it's actually built the
8:03
scale uh and we'll talk about how we
8:05
know what the scale is and
8:07
uh and how you calculate all that the
8:10
workforce was built through a process
8:12
just like it was in the original series
8:14
uh the process is called forced
8:17
perspective
8:19
and if you're not familiar with what
8:21
that is as you go further and further
8:24
back items get smaller and smaller and
8:27
it gives that illusion of depth and if
8:30
you look at it from back here or through
8:31
a camera you might say it goes back 20
8:34
25 maybe even 30 feet it's actually 12
8:37
feet
8:39
and that's the way it was in the
8:40
original series
8:41
uh there is another location that's a
8:44
museum and they have an engineering
8:46
section but their ceilings didn't go
8:48
that high
8:49
so we have basically what you would have
8:53
seen in the origin
8:55
would you design it in whatever size you
8:57
want out of Styrofoam
9:00
that old ceiling is styrofoam
9:03
is that the only going to come down
9:05
you and I could probably
9:07
yeah the crystal would go
9:09
crystal is now somewhere underneath
9:12
so this is where the crystal would go so
9:15
when you see them pulling with it
9:19
and then to finish the effect of the
9:21
future they put these round spheres in
9:26
to make it look like it was futuristic
9:28
now I found these because I needed
9:30
something that would stand up to the
9:32
heat and humidity of the summer and some
9:35
of you may recognize these as nothing
9:37
more than garden decorations uh so
9:40
everybody this is big pinata hi everyone
9:49
welcome welcome
9:49
to our playground and and with it is
9:52
Crystal give it up for Chris
9:59
I think it's a pleasure
10:04
you're in his you're in his club now
10:04
you're in his his Clubhouse now
10:07
just don't touch anything
10:11
the only the only place that I should we
10:14
shot scenes where I got injured
10:17
and not many other places are on the
10:20
bridge but uh there was a scene
10:23
and it was a very for those of you who
10:25
haven't seen structure continues or
10:26
haven't seen this episode it was a scene
10:28
where I'm talking to a hurry up
10:30
and it's a very intense scene and you
10:33
know I mean things are looking bad
10:35
and you know maybe whoever was standing
10:38
here and they were holding on to this
10:39
you look exactly like I know
10:42
squid a little bit you never know yeah
10:45
and but anyway so you know I'm holding
10:47
on to her and all together this but the
10:49
the ship is moving so I'm literally
10:51
making it look like it is and when we
10:53
did this scene many many many times and
10:56
and I don't know how many years ago this
10:58
but my finger has been numb ever since I
11:01
I've heard some nerves in there gripping
11:03
this dripping is so hard and not even
11:06
realizing that I was doing it and then
11:07
secondly trying to go up those stairs 20
11:10
times take after take after take and
11:11
look how steep those things are
11:19
is who knows what that did in the
11:19
original series because it was in the
11:23
everybody the answer is nobody knows
11:26
because they never use it
11:28
so we had we literally had scaffolding
11:31
here and the camera was up on the
11:34
scaffolding shooting down to get that
11:37
aerial view we're gonna come over to the
11:39
dilithium chamber and I want you to
11:41
pretend to check something here and then
11:43
I want you to go to the left okay okay
11:46
so now that's the movement so we yeah
11:53
couldn't you
11:54
you could
11:56
um you could take a shot of him here
11:58
and then you go ahead and walk and then
12:01
he walks out of the shot right
12:03
and then you would cut to another shot
12:05
you set your camera up here right
12:08
and here that might be nice right did
12:10
you see all that nice behind it or maybe
12:13
you might want to hear it or maybe you
12:15
want to see that behind and so when he
12:17
when he when he walks by the camera
12:19
swings around now you've got this shot
12:39
do me a favor and stop at the red line
12:39
please
12:52
they're everywhere
12:52
as soon as you know that this is four
12:54
feet by eight feet
12:56
you can calculate how wide the corridor
12:58
is you can calculate how many of these
13:01
panels before this hallway
13:08
which is exactly how you you can know
13:08
what what the spatial dimensions and and
13:11
measurements the uh the plate on the
13:13
wall is sick Bay so why don't you leave
13:16
us on in there around to the left
13:37
now the best place to get them the
13:37
greatest picture is right back here
13:38
where you guys are
13:40
so if you get a chance all of you guys
13:42
over there come back here and just turn
13:44
around and look in because this is the
13:46
classic shot that you remember of sick
13:48
Bank the the wide shot was back here
13:51
notice this wall is not here so you can
13:54
be out here looking in
14:00
now a couple of favorite things about
14:00
this room one of my favorite things is
14:02
this fabric
14:04
and I know that's probably kind of weird
14:05
they used it for the beds they used it
14:08
for seat cushions they upholstered
14:10
chairs with it they even used it as a
14:12
tablecloth once for uh underneath a meal
14:16
that they were having they liked the
14:18
look of it nice sparkly
14:21
apparently future means Sparkle
14:25
and this device would read their body
14:28
and it would display their vital signs
14:30
on the monitor above
14:33
what a cool idea right
14:35
well they couldn't do that in the 60s
14:38
they just thought that would be a cool
14:43
you guys remember these little arrows
14:43
right would would fluctuate with the
14:45
different readings
14:51
you know how they did that the same way
14:51
they did the doors
14:54
behind that wall moving those little
14:56
arrows up and down my arms
15:04
the spark a Spock sick he is he had his
15:04
he had his uh hand shoot off by a dog so
15:08
he's here in sick Bay to get get fixed
15:10
up
15:20
Greg brought his little figurines good
15:20
idea
15:43
and so anyway going back to like 2008 JJ
15:43
Abrams asked me to be in Star Trek 2009
15:46
and uh I had no idea what I was going to
15:49
do and you see this British hallway and
15:51
with this cabinet and my brothers let's
15:55
see what's in here
15:57
and he opens it all those Tribbles
16:05
so if somebody had to reset that
16:07
triples had to be put back so we we're
16:09
scared to death we run back to the
16:11
shuttlecraft I'm trying to save money
16:12
right you know your budget's going to be
16:15
crazy so you're trying to save money so
16:17
if you're a production facility in Los
16:21
Angeles you have plenty of Lights laying
16:23
around
16:24
so they just repurposed them
16:26
by using them here now the good news is
16:29
they still exist
16:31
the bad news is they're very expensive
16:34
and again you know just like with the uh
16:37
the transporter there were certain
16:40
things that that still exist but they're
16:42
really hard to find and if you find them
16:44
they're expensive because they're rare
16:46
every room we go in you're gonna see
16:48
something they use them everywhere
16:51
well if you're trying to recreate these
16:54
sets you need to use them too but they
16:57
were there this technology was very
16:59
common back then but it's not anymore so
17:02
but we know what they were so what do
17:04
you do we did the same thing that we did
17:06
with the lenses we bought a couple of
17:09
the real ones and then we took them
17:11
apart and made little molds of them
17:14
and just now they don't work
17:16
right but they don't need to because
17:19
it's a TV show
17:20
if I'm doing my job and I'm walking
17:23
around if I'm playing Kirk and I'm
17:26
walking around the griefing room I'm
17:28
like oh I need to call Sulu
17:31
cook the bridge
17:33
are you looking here no no you're
17:36
looking here we're inflamed repair time
17:39
estimates
17:44
of course
17:44
absolutely and then we get it done in
17:47
half the time right right that's what
17:49
made America look alike
17:58
exactly there you go oh one last thing
17:58
to tell you in this room you notice
17:59
probably when you walked in that there
18:00
are no chairs
18:03
well there are no chairs for the same
18:05
reason there probably wouldn't have been
18:06
chairs had we all gotten on buses and
18:08
gone to desolate
18:10
because when you're trying to save money
18:13
you don't build 25 chairs
18:16
you build 10 and you move them around
18:18
and then on this side of the corridor
18:22
but we didn't need those things we
18:24
needed a lot of other things
18:26
so we'll hop in here real quick
18:29
this is that swing set area I was
18:32
telling you about and currently
18:34
if you notice the sign as you walk in
18:36
it's configured to be auxiliary
18:38
controlled
19:04
she's trying to get all the detail of
19:04
all this this is so so awesome yes
19:30
but it's not black
19:30
see we changed a little bit just a
19:32
little bit made it white put the chips
19:35
that were still in service on the screen
19:36
and then she had a desk right here with
19:39
chairs on either side that Spock and
19:41
Kirk's hat on and we put a wall over
19:44
over top of all this stuff so you
19:46
couldn't see it
19:48
see them all down the corridor you'll
19:50
see them in every sets those are for
19:52
mounting lights and they gave it they
19:54
give us the perfect angle okay now we
19:58
can't leave I love you we can't leave
20:00
because I have to show you the story she
20:01
was asking about kicking Lou fruit and
20:03
then other cats okay yeah here's how
20:06
this happened okay this happened right
20:08
here okay so Lou was over in makeup
20:11
getting green right
20:14
and so we decided we were going to
20:16
practice it we're going to set it up
20:17
right make sure we were all ready for
20:20
when Lou comes on set right
20:22
so the camera was here
20:29
okay and it was it was a wide shot and
20:29
may I borrow you Lou was here
20:32
yeah he's great okay and then we had a
20:37
mattress on the floor right here and
20:39
then I was over here
20:41
he threw me across the room and I get up
20:44
and I run and I jump sideways right kick
20:48
him
20:49
and then I land on the mattress right
20:51
okay that's how it was supposed to work
20:54
that's how it was supposed to work
20:56
so we were going to test it we had a
20:59
fight choreographer on set friend of
21:01
mine and he had a he was gonna be Luke
21:04
so we're gonna test the kick I was very
21:07
excited I was so excited to do this he
21:10
had a big uh pad like a like a catcher's
21:14
breastplate and he was standing there
21:17
holding it and I was supposed to kick it
21:20
to test so we shot the test so the
21:22
camera's rolling I get up I run and jump
21:26
and kick him and he goes flying against
21:30
this wall and down
21:34
but that wasn't the worst part he was
21:35
fine
21:37
I came down on that mattress and the
21:40
mattress was nowhere near thick enough
21:42
oh my God I came right down on my hip on
21:46
this concrete floor oh my god
21:49
that hurt yeah so they went and got me
21:52
some pad to put in my pants on my hip
21:54
and they got another second mattress
21:56
doubled it up
21:58
but the choreography guy the fight guy
22:01
comes up to me and he goes dude you
22:03
can't kick Lou like that he's 70 years
22:06
old and he's had hip surgery like if you
22:10
kick him he'll go down and he might not
22:12
get up like it could it could hurt him
22:15
I'm like well crap I wanted to kick him
22:18
like what the heck
22:21
so Lou shows up
22:23
he gets in place
22:25
and this is what we did
22:27
camera's rolling I run I jump and I
22:30
extend to kick him but I don't actually
22:33
kick him
22:35
we cut the camera
22:36
then the camera repositions he still
22:38
loses Lou right who's standing here Sam
22:41
in like this this direction
22:44
we set the camera up right here on a
22:46
close-up of Lou's chest
22:48
I took my boots off and put them on my
22:50
hands
23:03
do it step back and in the close-up and
23:03
he goes out his momentum starts moving
23:05
backwards right and then one final shot
23:09
camera sets up here
23:15
Lou gets down on the floor sits down and
23:15
then on action he goes oh
23:18
and falls into the shot
23:21
and when you cut those two together
23:22
those three together it looks like I
23:25
kicked it and he went down
23:42
sorry here it seemed better no lay back
23:42
down here
23:43
that's what I was gonna do it
23:56
come on in everybody make room good and
23:56
slide around there for me if you would
23:58
make quite better here
24:03
yep
24:03
it's everywhere
24:09
because this is everybody's room
24:09
you are standing in every character's
24:12
bedroom
24:13
because all you do is you just change it
24:16
up a little bit you have one you build
24:17
one room and then you just
24:24
and uh so
24:24
I love that episode where Kurt Shrine
24:27
down
24:31
I don't know it's the Crooked spot gets
24:31
shrunk can I please make sure
24:48
it was supposed to be dozens of these
24:48
access conduits all over the ship and it
24:50
was a big ship and there were a lot of
24:52
these supposedly
24:54
good again
24:56
trying to save money you know delighting
24:58
or you move a couple of pipes around and
25:01
you just
25:01
make it
25:03
that is awesome
25:06
any questions
25:11
on the show
25:11
you can walk down about four feet Yes in
25:14
this spot yeah take it the entire set
25:16
was lifted up yes yes well on the
25:19
original Sound Stage yeah it was like
25:21
all on platforms and and you could go
25:24
below them the floor there uh same with
25:27
there I believe
25:29
um with that that Alcove there got it
25:31
you can't see the end of the you can
25:33
never you can't see the end of them you
25:34
can run it closely down the corridor
25:36
yeah
25:37
exactly exactly and of course if you
25:40
think about the saucer of the Enterprise
25:44
but it's logistically purposeful too
25:47
because if it has a beginning and end
25:49
then you have to have
25:51
very yeah very well thought out
25:54
perspective yep we're going to let our
25:56
special guest star Chris take you into
25:58
the big enchilada come on in see my
26:02
captain's chair
26:07
Andrew but feel free to walk all the way
26:07
around guys oh man
26:09
oh
26:15
wow
26:15
oh my God
26:30
your first time here yeah this is
26:30
awesome
26:31
it's like blowing my mind
26:44
feel free to move around guys Lots no
26:44
places off limits over here
26:52
okay so here's where Spock would always
26:52
sit obviously
26:59
that spot could always be down here
26:59
doing his work Ohara would be over here
27:11
is this beautiful did you ever imagine
27:11
when you were a little kid that you
27:13
would
27:15
stand on the bridge of the Enterprise
27:16
unbelievable
27:25
make room for everybody
27:25
come out and I just turn around and I
27:28
sit in Scotty's stations
27:30
and I don't I didn't have a line at that
27:32
point but I just sort of I just sort of
27:34
watered up looking around going this is
27:36
exactly what my dad was doing yeah and
27:39
I'm looking through my dad's eyes at
27:40
what he was doing 50 years ago
27:42
and it was just such a surreal moment
27:46
and um
27:48
and you know I still think about that to
27:49
this day that the first day I you know I
27:50
had seen the set from over there and
27:52
done this and then that but to actually
27:54
do a scene that first scene right here
27:56
it was just a surreal moment for me
28:10
that our very first episode
28:10
we shot uh he and I were
28:13
behind those doors waiting for them to
28:16
open for the for them to call Action and
28:18
and actually I was directing so I called
28:20
action dead from back there but they
28:22
were all set up out here waiting for us
28:24
to walk out
28:25
and he and I were standing back there
28:27
waiting for those doors to open
28:29
and just look looked at each other and
28:32
you know here he is looking amazing
28:34
in his in a perfect uniform and we're
28:36
about to walk onto the bridge
28:40
it was surreal
28:42
um you know I mean here here's here's
28:44
Chris
28:45
you know following in his dad's
28:47
footsteps 50 years later and me 50 years
28:51
later
28:52
uh playing my childhood hero you know
28:56
and how much you know how much like the
28:59
word I that comes to my mind always is
29:01
daunting it was just incredibly daunting
29:04
and I gotta say something too it's like
29:05
when I when Vic first approached me
29:08
uh to do this you know initially I I
29:11
refused I just thought you know I'd seen
29:13
another fan films
29:15
and then we went out to lunch one day
29:17
and he you know he said no this is this
29:18
is different you know do we have top
29:20
professionals everybody's you know you
29:22
know and you know almost everybody that
29:24
we started with we ended yeah which is
29:26
you don't see that in other with other
29:28
Productions right and uh
29:31
so you know I I we said yes and then
29:33
when we did that first vignette
29:35
and it was it was only you know just got
29:38
a lot of hits on YouTube and it just
29:39
went well and from that point on it was
29:42
go and now I look back and I thought
29:43
because it's really changed my life it
29:46
has I mean think of the places we've
29:47
gone to Australia together we've done
29:49
Germany you know England you know we've
29:51
done all of these together you know and
29:54
the travel and and just meeting all the
29:56
people and meeting all the you know
29:57
seeing all of my my dad's fans and
29:59
hearing the stories but I would have
30:02
never been able to do that if it wasn't
30:03
for Vic
30:05
putting this series together and asking
30:07
me to be Scott and I want to thank you
30:09
yeah my pleasure great well you were
30:17
often asked me how did you get Chris
30:18
doing
30:19
like because he's awesome he's just a
30:22
great guy I just you know I couldn't the
30:24
pay was so good
30:28
conversation I had with every single
30:31
person that I brought into this show was
30:32
now you're not going to make any money
30:36
so you know know that going in you're
30:39
going to be a part of something very
30:40
special
30:41
and I think you're going to be a part of
30:43
something you can be proud of for years
30:44
to come but it's not this is not a
30:47
money-making Venture this is not a
30:49
profit-making venture none of us made
30:51
any money in fact you don't even want to
30:53
know how much I spent
30:55
but that's not that's not the point the
30:59
point is we created something that we
31:00
love and to pay tribute to this show
31:03
that we that meant so much to us and
31:06
it's been incredibly gratifying that so
31:08
many people have enjoyed it as much as
31:10
they have
31:11
um the last real quick because we need
31:13
to get to the new tour that's starting
31:15
so we're going to let you guys take all
31:17
the pictures you want pop in the
31:19
captain's chair here's the chairs by the
31:21
way the chairs we talked about and even
31:24
these chairs are nothing but cheap
31:26
little plastic
31:28
little plastic molded chairs
31:31
I gotta say this is just awesome this is
31:34
just so
31:35
dag awesome I just want to go here to
31:37
the elevator
31:38
it was just so accurate
31:41
you know what
31:43
there was a game
31:57
right I literally because the core of us
32:04
that's as long as it was in the original
32:04
series when Spock would get down there
32:06
and like pull that down all the time and
32:07
work if you go around the back you can
32:09
see where they recreated that oh really
32:25
more signatures over here from some of
32:25
the
32:26
some people who worked in here on fan
32:29
films this is the address
33:02
so basically it's one printed image and
33:02
then there's an image behind it it would
33:04
have been a scale model of uh
33:11
it's like I feel like I'm really on the
33:11
show right now you gotta like you gotta
33:14
like walk almost like you can't
33:15
obviously walk out of here but this is
33:17
what it would be like
33:24
just like that like that they've added
33:24
this they've added the screen over there
33:26
too yeah
33:33
so if I'm a member in this correct you
33:33
got ahura here
33:35
Spock over there I don't know what's
33:37
your spots over there I think where
33:39
Shatner here Kurt and Sulu was always
33:42
here and this is always kind of mix mix
33:43
and match right yeah but mostly check
33:45
off that's right check off when came in
33:47
right and then over here is where Scotty
33:49
would work from this is like the
33:50
auxiliary engineering the Scotty right
33:53
over there yeah Scotty's here this is a
33:54
childhood Dream Come trip um
34:09
Captain says there's something on screen
34:09
if you turn it on then we have a remote
34:11
control to handle the two red alerts
34:13
yeah so yeah and actually some of what's
34:17
in engineering that control panel also
34:19
all of those lights turn on and off from
34:21
the control buttons everything else is
34:23
fake everything else how does it feel to
34:24
sit in that chair
34:26
lifelong dream life yeah I was gonna say
34:29
it is a lifelong dream too I feel like
34:33
you're so the hero I feel like you're
34:34
Captain current seen him a million times
34:36
on the show and to be in this situation
34:39
in a restaurant it's pretty mind-blowing
34:54
I always wonder what it'd be like to sit
34:54
here now I know how does it feel
34:58
I feel like William Shatner
35:07
the art book The behind the scenes oh
35:07
and the and some of the stuff behind the
35:09
scenes as far as the videos go awesome
35:11
there's a lot of things I didn't know
35:34
that's pretty dang cool check off
35:37
Sulu
35:51
Kirk
35:52
I grew up with uh
35:55
I don't even want to leave here I'm just
35:58
trying to really get the whole
36:00
the whole effect of this place
36:03
oh man on the Enterprise right now
36:05
okay that's even better just like this
36:17
perfect thank you
36:17
this is my original logo
36:21
I have mine at home too I love it let me
36:25
see a picture
36:36
I have to go sit in the chair in the
37:02
so I've got two stuff because the people
37:02
here right
37:30
I gotta do it I gotta do it all the
37:30
spots
37:37
foreign
37:55
I believe you did
37:55
so I got Sulu check off
37:58
Mr Spock
38:04
Y and Kirk
38:04
I nailed it
38:08
all right let's think about it
38:12
what was that I totally boxed that line
38:14
you're gonna say you're ready
38:18
take us out of orbit Mr wuh
38:30
that was pretty cool yep yep
38:36
all right
38:36
that's for past that's really for
38:38
posterity
38:41
true
38:42
so Greg was saying to kind of look
38:44
around here so where Spock's always
38:45
working on the computer over here
38:47
they have like a little set section down
38:49
here
38:54
that's pretty cool
38:54
so they have it behind this section
38:56
right
38:58
yeah it really like wasn't it it was
39:00
over there the way they could have
39:02
filmed it it could have been it made it
39:04
look like they were opening that one but
39:06
they should have actually been doing
39:06
this one good point yeah
39:20
there's a nebula captain
39:20
we have to avoid it
39:22
got some T-shirts over here
39:41
right now
39:43
I'll get ready
39:49
oh and signature okay yeah
39:49
oh wow I didn't even see this
39:53
if you want a little bit behind the
39:55
scenes you go in the turbo lift and look
39:57
to the left and you'll see the pla uh
39:59
camera platform really
40:02
yeah up here is where the camera
40:03
platform where you put camera so you can
40:05
shoot down to get that iconic shot wow
40:09
yeah that's awesome
40:14
Ah that's cool
40:14
and then here's the Rope to the door I
40:16
enjoyed your little trip down there goes
40:18
the Hemingway's house
40:19
yeah I've been there oh my God it was in
40:22
the 70s when I was in the Navy
40:25
and of course they still talk about the
40:26
penny then the penny yeah the last round
40:29
the one Red's last red set yeah
40:31
that's great
40:33
now these pipes can be changed around
40:35
these here can be changed around to make
40:37
it look like another Jeffries to the
40:39
stairs are steady and these two so
40:42
they're solid these are solid everything
40:44
else you don't want a sand on it no you
40:47
don't want to grab if you're falling
40:48
yeah because it'll come down with you
40:50
and yes we do have gnd
40:53
so
41:03
well I'll probably forget it and you'll
41:06
probably go to sleep right now that's a
41:09
good idea then you won't forget it
41:11
yeah we know you're getting old
41:14
is that loose hand print no no it's not
41:17
one of the Pas said we had the halt we
41:19
had to have a green handle right yeah
41:21
that's correct actually you can't get to
41:22
John Delancey and Ann lockharts because
41:24
they're up by the front but they're back
41:25
behind stuff right now uh Colin Bakers
41:28
is around back behind back back or set
41:32
as well
41:34
wow we're not climbing up the jippers
41:36
dude exactly I'm just happy to look at
41:39
it you saw the picture of Aaron gray
41:41
yeah he showed us that and he showed you
41:43
where it was taken at he did yeah he
41:45
showed that walked over to it yeah
41:48
um this this set has been used so I mean
41:52
it's been the commodore's quarters when
41:53
it was that and put Flats there lolani's
41:56
quarters
41:58
um Tails neutral zone had an episode we
42:00
made it to Cargo Bay yeah he was saying
42:02
this is the biggest area so this is the
42:04
one that's changed out the most
42:05
Dominion's done uh Romulan bridge two
42:10
different John for two different types
42:11
of ships it has a Doomsday Machine from
42:14
a Starship Farragut episode
42:16
yeah Dan's been here from almost the
42:18
beginning he's been Bloom up oh he's
42:20
very good continue
42:28
so you painted all this yes I helped
42:28
paint but still
42:30
this whole place is awesome
42:33
where's the camera hole you see those
42:35
camera holes in here yeah there's camera
42:36
holes behind oh these yeah so actually
42:38
behind there oh yeah the camera back
42:40
there oh that's the that's the bridge
42:42
right there yeah yeah and that's the way
42:44
they did it so they can get the depth of
42:46
field because those cameras were huge
42:48
and we still do it too yeah and then
42:50
there's another one behind the the
42:52
painting on that side oh that's over
42:54
here because they only made one Cruise
42:55
quarters so when it's Kirk the desk is
42:57
over here the bed's over there when it's
42:59
spotted reversed and they put the
43:01
curtain up no kidding and they just use
43:02
that door instead of this door
43:13
statue and we actually did recreate that
43:13
voter statue with the urn in front of it
43:16
and we had all these little color
43:18
changing LEDs inside to simulate the
43:21
flame and it was on a wall and then
43:23
Ginger people walk right out the door
43:25
with it and then you see the scene in
43:28
this little Stinger reel there of a
43:31
Spock at his desk with the little plane
43:32
the little lamp right the lamp had no
43:35
Reservoir it just had a wick in it and
43:38
the wick was so put it in and we had
43:40
about 35 seconds
43:41
before the studio is available for rent
43:44
if you have a story well
43:48
and a sound guy if you can hide range it
43:51
during
43:52
a high frame of when they're available
44:06
of the original pilot Helm from the cage
44:06
no way uh this is actually was done for
44:09
a production called Exeter track and
44:12
this is a picture of the of it on set
44:14
for Exeter Trek and these are actual
44:16
screenshots from the original pilot you
44:19
know Jeffrey Hunter there's
44:23
underneath
44:24
so you can see how close it was it also
44:27
doubled as the transporter control you
44:30
take it out of this stand there's pipes
44:32
that make it look like legs and then you
44:34
change out the astrigator and put a
44:36
black yeah that is awesome
44:38
and these do turn on
44:41
this one's gotta need to change the
44:43
battery on that one
44:44
but they do turn on
44:48
I'm gonna get the lights working again
44:49
well they had it on batteries back in
44:51
again in the original days and uh
44:55
of course the battery compartments
44:56
eroded so bad I had to eliminate or put
44:59
they're on electric now
45:07
honestly oh man that is just so cool is
45:07
there any particular one I should stand
45:09
up well if you stand on that one right
45:10
by your foot that's the one Michelle
45:11
Nichols was on okay yes
45:19
and then I've actually moved to that one
45:19
over there that's the one Lou ferrigno's
45:20
in
45:21
yeah so if it holds him it'll hold you
45:23
okay underneath there's the real thick
45:26
plexiglass that was provided by granta
45:28
mahara when they tore down uh robot wars
45:31
actually let's go here so I got some
45:34
sturdiness here
45:44
anywhere Nichelle Nichols was
45:44
and Ferrigno yes
45:47
great now if you want your faces seen
45:50
step back into the ones behind you so
45:52
you have some light on your faces
45:54
because you're so shadowy
45:56
yeah see now I can actually see your
45:58
faces because of the shadowing up front
46:00
it was so dark
46:03
now if I want
46:05
it let's go back here so I can get the I
46:08
don't want top a set all right now we've
46:10
got the council in in shot two
46:13
as we were building these sets good
46:22
you got all this Lighting in here as
46:22
well as that and then see your face
46:24
because no stand back there for a second
46:27
see what I'm talking about with my face
46:29
is so dark oh yeah no but if I go back
46:33
here where you were
46:35
see how it all right yeah oh yeah okay
46:39
we got to get the light bulb changed on
46:42
that one
46:45
so they're on the bulbs are on order but
46:47
oh that's in the neutral oh the Romulan
46:49
control oh yeah that's when all the when
46:52
all the roof is falling in on them
46:54
constantly and the things shaking and
46:55
all the dust and everything they're all
46:56
around this
46:58
um I'm sorry balance of Terror yeah okay
47:01
yeah yeah
47:03
I totally remember that episode because
47:04
that's when doesn't the roof fall on the
47:07
one guy yeah
47:14
Kirk needs to call the bridge
47:14

47:24
ended up picking up this t-shirt it was
47:24
forty dollars but the cost of admission
47:26
to do the tour didn't cost anything so
47:29
I have no issue paying forty dollars to
47:32
buy a shirt because that right there was
47:34
almost surprised this experience going
47:36
through there
47:37
so there's one other spot we got to go
47:38
to that we were informed about yeah and
47:41
I don't want to spoil it but um we'll
47:44
take a little little trip yeah it has to
47:46
do with uh the family of the creator
47:49
of Star Trek the great bird of the
47:51
Galaxy about a 20-minute commute over to
47:54
Folkston Georgia
47:58
this is the water tower it is brisk
48:01
the train going by a couple of guys over
48:03
at the neutral zone
48:06
informed us to go over by the courthouse
48:08
here this is also interesting I don't
48:10
know if I've ever seen a fried or high
48:11
fire hydrant that's actually in the road
48:14
not up on the curb
48:16
but Gene Roddenberry has some Family
48:18
Ties
48:20
over here
48:33
Henry Roddenberry
48:33
son of George Roddenberry
48:36
so this would have been Gene
48:38
roddenberry's father
48:40
wouldn't it be as great his grandfather
48:42
maybe his grandfather or
48:44
great-grandfather but we're assuming his
48:46
great grandfather
48:48
we're saying great grandfather based on
48:50
the age the age bracket I'm thinking
48:52
great grandfather based on the uh the
48:54
birth date of uh that's what I'm
48:56
thinking it's cold out here I'm gonna
48:58
