musical transition was actually,
and is still in the film later,
when they are going up to space
for the first time to see the Enterprise.
And I moved this to here
'cause it felt more like an announcement
that Star Trek is back.
Well, I think what happens here is that
your heart breaks, but then it soars.
You know? And that's an amazing thing
to have happen
in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
First breaks... I'm writing this down.
First breaks, then soars.
This title card here, by the way,
was done by Andrew Kramer,
who is this 23-year-old kid,
who I found online...
who is this 23-year-old kid,

Nice.
...who did the Fringe opening titles,
and he's a brilliant guy.
-And he did this and then the end...
-Amazing.
Let's talk about the scene
that came before this that's not...
-That's right.
-That's shot, but not in the movie.
-We just alluded to it.
-We had the scene where
you basically saw George,
his older brother,
Kirk's older brother, running away.
-Product placement.
-Thanks to Burky.
There's Greg G run berg,
our good luck charm.
I think we have the deleted scenes after,
so I don't know
-if we have to talk about them now.
-Well, if it's there,
you'll see the scene. But it was cut,
and I think, ultimately,
I really enjoyed the scene.
My favourite thing about that scene,
by the way,
was there was a forced perspective
miniature of the house
that we used that I hated to lose.
All right, now, this is what everybody
is buying this DVD to find out.
In this scene,
we have to talk about
the song selection.
J.J., why Sabotage by the Beastie Boys?
It's because it's a kick-ass song.
That's the true answer.
It had nothing to do with Shatner.
-It was just a happy coincidence.
-Happy coincidence.
But I want to just point the one thing out,
which is that all these shots of the kid,
it was my least favourite stuff
that we had shot, his close-ups.
Not that shot, but the close-ups.
And they weren't working.
And this was
a very hard sequence to do.
See, a shot like this, right?
There were all these different rigs
that we used for him,
and I just didn't get good close-ups
on the day.
And so we ended up going back
and shooting all of his close-ups again.
Every close-up you see,
there are 11 shots,
and they were all re-shot,
except for that one.
They were all re-shot on the roof
of the 20th Century Fox parking lot.
-Including his final line here, right?
-That one right there, too.
Yes, that shot right there.
All these shots were all done in
the parking lot, just shaking the camera,
and then the last shot of him
standing up, saying his name.
And also when we shot it originally,
the stuntman/actor
who's actually on the motorcycle,
you could see his face,
but I just thought it looked silly.
And so I ended up
actually having his face replaced.
And I wrote him a note 'cause
I felt bad that I covered his face.
But the mask was put on digitally later,
and I think
it actually makes all the difference.
And for the nitpickers, yes,
there's no cliffs in Iowa,
-but this is clearly a quarry.
-It's a quarry, my friend.
-There were no cliffs in Iowa.
-That's right.
-Until the earthquake of 2011.
-The great quake of 2011.
So, is the idea here
that this guy is a robot?
I don't know.
I mean, I think he was in a bad accident.
That's my voice, by the way.
It's amazing to me how
the original version of this sequence,
with the close-ups
that you ended up replacing,
-the energy level went up 10,000 times.
-Well, you know what it was?
Because we knew
what his experience was.
This is one of my favourite shots
in the movie.
This shot, for some reason,
destroys me.
I love it. ILM is... Look at ILM.
-Look what they do.
-It's crazy.
I also love that, by the way,
there's like a title in the earlier scene
that says Iowa.
Like, "Sure, I know where Iowa is."
And the next one's, like, Vulcan.
Like, "Oh,
