A shot by shot reference to TOS FX featuring everyone’s favorite starship.
by
William P. “Tallguy” Thomas
Introduction
The U.S.S. Enterprise is arguably one of the most famous spacecraft in science fiction. There have been many collections of references of the various shooting models that were used to bring her to both the small and large screens. One day I got to thinking “Has anyone ever made a collection of every shot of the Enterprise EVER?”
The original Star Trek re-used stock footage whenever they could. How many different ways can you show the ship orbiting a planet? (Answer: Five.) But then I wondered how many stock shots are there? And when were they first used? How often? Which version of the ship was seen the most? Was it the ship from the production run of the series? Or the ship from the pilots?
After some months of diving through the original episodes and the unaired pilot here is a catalog of every shot of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the original Star Trek. The list is ordered by shot based on the shot’s first appearance in an episode by production order. All of the shot’s names are my own (and I accept the blame). There are some intentional ommisions to this list. I did not include any live action depictions of the Enteprise. These include such shots as the Enterprise seen outside of station manager Lurry's window in “The Trouble with Tribbles” or the shrunken Enterprise that Flint presents to Kirk in “Requiem for Methuselah”.
So here they are: Every shot of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the original voyages under captains Pike and Kirk. Enjoy!
KEY:
SHOT NAME (FIRST APPEARANCE - LAST APPEARANCE) [NUMBER OF TIMES USED]
MODEL OF ENTERPRISE IN SHOT
Whoosh (The Cage - That Which Survives) [33]
Three Foot
|
The pilot opens with Star Trek’s signature star field and the Enterprise “whooshing” into view. This very first shot of the Enterprise is of the three foot model and is given an optical slide so that the ship stays in the center of the screen. It will be repeated with and without this slide in all three seasons.
This shot is used in the opening credits of every season of Star Trek and is arguably the most famous and recognized of all of the shots of the Enterprise.

Cage Whoosh Away (The Cage) [3]

The first shot of the Enterprise racing towards the camera is naturally followed by the three foot model racing away from the camera. This shot is unique to the pilot episode although a similar shot also using the three foot model will be used in later episodes.
Episodes:
The Cage [2]
Cage Dish (The Cage - That Which Survives) [3]
Three Foot
The
Enterprise flies right into the camera. (Look
where you’re going, Number One!) While not used very often in
the live action series an animated version of this shot would be used
much more extensively in the animated Star Trek.
Episodes:
The Cage
Is There in Truth No Beauty?
That Which Survives
Cage Bridge (The Cage - Is There in Truth No Beauty?) [14]
Eleven Foot First Pilot
|
|
|
Here is the first appearance of the eleven foot model and its only appearance in The Cage. One of the most ambitious shots created for Star Trek. The camera comes from under the ship, up over the saucer. In “The Cage” the camera flies into the bridge so the audience is shown how large the ship is and exactly where the action is taking place on the ship.
This shot was re-used in the second pilot, most notably for the “energy barrier” sequence. The barrier version of the shot was used in all three seasons of Trek.
It was used frequently in the early first season both with and without a dense, rushing star field. After these early episodes it was only seen again with the energy barrier.

WNM Barrier Away (Where No Man Has Gone Before - By Any Other Name) [2]
Eleven Foot Second Pilot
The Enterprise flies away from the camera and into the energy barrier. Although this is very similar to the shot “WNM Away” it is a different take. This take was only ever used with the barrier element in both Where No Man Has Gone Before and the second season episode “By Any Other Name”.
Episodes:
Where No Man Has Gone Before [1]
By Any Other Name [1]
Barrier Out (Where No Man Has Gone Before - Is There in Truth No Beauty?) [3]
Three Foot

|

The three foot model flees the barrier. This element was also never seen without the barrier. Of the three times it was used it was only shown un-flopped once, in the third season episode “Is There in Truth No Beauty?” The first two times it was used the registry numbers on the Enterprise can be seen to be reversed.

(Where

The Enterprise flies away from camera into infinity. The is different from the “WNM Barrier Away” shot. Filmed for the second pilot this is the third most used shot in the show and was seen in more episodes than any other. It is seen in the opening titles of all three seasons. It is the last shot ever seen on the original Star Trek.in “Turnabout Intruder”.

WNM Approach Tilted (Where No Man Has Gone Before - The Man Trap) [4]

The Man Trap
Sitting (The Corbomite Maneuver - Journey to Babel) [17]

Fesarius (The Corbomite Maneuver) [2]
Eleven Foot
A far away shot of the 11 foot model. This was used with Fesarius element in the “Corbomite Maneuver” and never seen again. This has been mistakenly identified as a smaller model used specifically for this shot. It can be seen that this is the eleven foot model because that was the only model with running lights.
Episodes:
The Corbomite Maneuver [2]
Over Nacelle (The Corbomite Maneuver - The Ultimate Computer) [26]
Eleven Foot
This is a view over the starboard nacelle. It was sometimes used with an optical "breakaway" where the ship veers to port. In the second season this would be largely replaced with “Aft”.

The first shot of Star Trek’s second season. A long turn that begins behind the ship and eventually ends foward above the saucer, focused on the bridge. This is a LONG shot that was used played both forwards and backwards. It was never played in it's entirety but broken into many shots. It was seen in the beginning of the "Next Week's Voyage" previews.

This shot was obviously filmed to be used as stock footage during the making of Where No Man Has Gone Before. Since only the starboard side of the eleven foot model had detail, the decals had to be reversed in order to show the “port” side. It was never used except here to show the crew falling into the Mirror Universe. Ironically it is a much cleaner shot of the ship. You can clearly see the spikes on the nacelles.
Episodes:
Mirror, Mirror
Station Approach (The Trouble With Tribbles - The Ultimate Computer) [2]

An aft view between the nacelles. This was only ever used with the K7 space station element. Also, check out the lighting cable that can be seen on the connecting dorsal!

Eleven Foot
|
|
The last new shot of the series! A track in that ends with a close up of the lower sensor dome on the saucer. While not used until season three, I suspect it was filmed in season two. It was never seen "clear". In “That Which Survives” it has a shake effect and in “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” it has the episode’s titles superimposed on it.
