ComingSoon.net posted the following set report from the new Star Trek movie, from a sccoper named 'brnbro63'
If anyone is interested, the new 'Star Trek' movie began filming at Cal State Northridge today. Looks like they are filming a scene at an academy/school because everyone is dressed in same crimson uniform. There is also a very cool car/cart that was driven onto the set, looks like miniature 3-wheeled version of Mach 5/ Star Trek insignia.
The original report can be found here.
Plus, AICN posted more spy photos from the Trek set, which appears to confirm the ComingSoon report. The photos show various cadets in red uniforms at the academy, with a large blue screen in the set, and even a pic of the of futuristic car mentioned in the ComingSoon report (see below).
You can find more and larger photos here.
Recall that closer shots of the gray uniform were scarfed by JFX Online in December of last year. It was presumed to be "Officer's formal wear."
Some rough-quality spy photos, just posted here, show the Aptera vehicle is driven out into the yard among the actors, so it may appear in the movie.
More zoom-and-crop images: Looks like the ladies in mini-skirts and go-go boots were encouraged to wear their hair up in a bun. Not quite beehive...

Quote from Beamer:
I know I'll lose my super-duper Star Trek decoder ring for this one, but missed the bridge pics you're talking about. Where were/are they?
I reckon the only thing you can do about replacing your Super-Duper Decoder Ring is eat another 47 boxes of Star Trek Coco Puffs.
Here's a zoom-and-color-enhancement of what's believed to be part of the Enterprise bridge console. From what I think I see -- glowing blue gauges and a big red rocker-switch -- it's a kitschy nod to classic sci-fi. Shiny...

In TOS, a jumpsuit is usually only seen on civilian workers or non-commissioned crewmen, so this garb isn't what we expect to see for Starfleet from that time-frame.
Whenever JJ Abrams strays from canonical TOS designs, I hope he strays toward the classic science-fiction which inspired Gene Roddenberry. In particular: Forbidden Planet (1956).
Looks to me like this could be the case -- first with what (little) has been shown of the kitschy new Enterprise bridge design, and now with these Academy uniforms.
