What - waving through windows?? I think his personel file popping up on Khan's screen would be good. BUT That does fall into the 'changing the story' aspect. This stuff is to just enhance the effects.
OK I loved this - gave me tingles - being a Trekker and a Muso:

Although improving the shuttlecraft would also be desirable, yes. Perhaps drop the pretense that the three bow squares are windows? Instead, transform the entire inner front surface to one big viewscreen, so that our heroes can actually look at the imagery without first fetching a ladder from the aft compartment.

I was thinking of adding additional interior detail so they dont look like they're riding in a paper-thin wooden box (though, of course the actors are). The inside of a public schoolbus has more detail than that set! There's also the whole "Tardis" aspect to the shuttle...

See I think that's going too far - it's... rewriting the 'past'. That's what the set was - so it should stay like that. Maybe screen read-outs could be updated etc?? Although as per Dax that era of technology was appreciated for it's "classic" look.
I wondered then about the Guardian of Forever - the scenes of history it shows - I wonder if they could put different scenes in there? Stuff even from Now till the 23rd century. Cochrane's launch, The Bell Riots, Formation of the Federation, launch of the Constitution. That would be cool.
Are they going to update all the daggy phaser effects?

I think I read the phasers got updated- maybe the'll be fast like on Enterprise or so incredibly slow you can doidge them like on TNG.
I want to see the new background shots- will they reproduce the original matte paintings or go with soimething alltogether new? I always liked the city shot (the one modofied like six times though!) The whole city in the clouds needs to be redone- badly!

I believe the matte paintings will be converted to cgi shots, although I don't know if they will still represent the same background or a new one.

That line about "we're not gonna make the ship do barrelrolls" sounds a bit like a poke at a certain bunch of fan fims...
Nice looking shot of the Enterprise leaving orbit.

To be honest, I'm not too impressed by the shots of the Enterprise in orbit of the planet. It could just be the Youtube compression, but it seems quite overlit and a little too high definition(something which often makes CG look fake). The shot of the phaser depth charge thing looks good though. I still can't wait for it.
