You know how people will do videogame demakes where they’ll take a game and just redo it as an older console generation equivalent in terms of graphics? Stuff like making Pokémon BW or SM in the style of the GB/GBC era. Story is intact, it is just the graphics that got changed to fit that older technology.
It got me thinking…why not do that with tv shows/movies?
Keep the storyline and such, but use the sfx, props and set limitations of a show from stuff more or less 1969 and back. No cgi, big budget sets nor props that you clearly didn’t just slap some silly stuff on to in order to pretend it isn’t something mundane.
People will often praise a show or movie for the writing, sometimes before they praise the rest of the content, so why not see just how much weight the writing carries by demaking everything else about it?
For example, take an episode from, say, the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who, but with the sort of budget from the First Doctor.
