*That* stock footage: who used it first?
Assignment: Earth was this weekend's _Star Trek_ Remastered New
Special Effects edition, and while there was apparently too much stock footage of the Apollo 4 launch to make practical replacing it with, say, a totally awesome Saturn V-derivative something caught my eye: Obviously the episode had originally to use footage of the Saturn 500-F facilties testing article as well as Apollo 4's launch to do the Saturn liftoff. But the episode aired in late March 1968, and its first draft was finished in December 1967. They had to have been near the first to make pop cultural use of the famous first stage falling away, and then the interstage falling off. (To add to the continuity errors between stock footages, the episode identifies the interstage falling away as second stage separation, and the second stage igniting as third stage ignition.) Anyway: so, is it possible that Star Trek was the first show or movie or such to use *that* shot to represent the simple concept of sending something into space? If Trek wasn't, then who was? Any ideas? Did it appear on any shows before the 29th of March, 1968? -- Joseph Nebus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
