I was reading one of the threads on scifi-meshes.com, when I came across a thread about a new ANIMATED Star Trek film.



I don't know if someone's having a joke, but the trailer is pretty cool...even if it is animated.



Anyways, I checked it out, and the site does exist!



Even if this isn't being produced by Paramount, i'm gonna watch it on September the 8th.

What do you guys think? Does animated Trek work for you? Are you gonna watch it?

I like fanbased stuff, although it can sometimes be...strange.

Other examples of fanbased stuff that I know of are Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, or the Picard Song.

Anyone know of any other fanbased Star Trek stuff?




Incidentally, the creators of Star Wreck are making a new film! The official site is although no release date has been announced yet.

lol looks like Elite Force 2

it's... errrr... fecking awful

Seen it long time ago. And I hate it. Its not as good as I hoped to be.

There has been an animated series before that i think was produced by paramount but im not sure i know it exists there is a link below were you can buy them from amozon its based on the TOS but i watched a few and didnt rely like them.

I was looking at the fan based stuff and im not being nasty but i rely dont like it im a bit of a perfection seeker and i didnt rely like any of the stuff and yea it is based on elite force 2 hehehehe and yea the Red VS Blue stuff is ace lol

Yeah, Billy, i've heard of the animated series before.

From what i've heard, most people don't think of the animated series as canon, although it technically is. There were races in there that never appeared in the shows or films, (Eg. the Kzinti - a cat-like race that I believe formed the basis of the Lyrans in Starfleet Command 2) and it followed on from the original series.

A Kzin


And a Lyran


If anyone wants to find out more about the animated series, I found some links that you might wanna look at:

Me too. If you need any web development services, glad to be of help.

having watched the wee trailer i have to admit, not bad considering the low quality models being used, i`ll give a final verdict once it`s out and i have seen the whole thing.

have to say for a fan based project its rely good so you used SF3 and EF2 both good games reconise some charitures from EF2 even if they are being evil

Bridge commander would of been a better engine i think but it still looks good


sirNemanjapro- Seen it long time ago. And I hate it.
then
sirNemanjapro Me too. If you need any web development services, glad to be of help.

Great song choice in this one, really goes well with the video.

I promised to keep this board informed about the latest Borg War news. The world's largest distributor of machinima, the online video network Machinima.com, has agreed, for the first time in its history, to feature a machinima project -- Borg War -- as a weekly event. Here's the official press release:

Borg Assimilates Online Video Network


Machinima.Com To Distribute Borg War, An Animated Star Trek Feature-Length Fan Film

LOS ANGELES - June 28, 2006 (INB) -- Machinima.com, the largest machinima video distribution network, announces an exclusive agreement to host Borg War, the world's first feature-length animated Star Trek adventure starring the voice of Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard.

Borg War depicts the continuing adventures of the Enterprise seventeen years after the end of final episode of Voyager. In the animated movie, the Federation is invaded by a group of rogue Borg that has been infected by a predatory alien virus.

Borg War is unique among Star Trek fan films in that it recycles sound clips from the computer games, allowing the original actors to "reprise" their roles. Early episodes of Borg War were honored award nominations in the categories of "Best Series" and "Technical Achievement" at the 2005 Machinima Film Festival.

The online broadcast of Borg War will premiere on Friday, September 8th, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first Star Trek television broadcast. Each following Friday at 6:00 p.m. Pacific, Machinima.com will release successive episodes and host a live forum, featuring the film's creator, Geoffrey James. The entire movie will span nine weeks, similarly to a cable channel series.

The exclusive agreement and weekly event is a first for Machinima.com which (with several hundred thousand downloads a month) is the community focal point for the rapidly- machinima, a filmmaking technique that harnesses the 3D rendering power of computer games to create a new type of video entertainment.

weekly event ehhh?

so like RvB (Red Vs Blue)

What, so the film is being torn apart into weekly segments?

That's just...stupid. If you're gonna show a film, you show it in one go. The audience will have to constanyly be reminded of what happened beforehand otherwise - and that cuts down on actual film time.

If it was a series, then it would work, coz that's how series are designed to be shown. But for a film...it never intended like that.

Pleeease tell me that i've got the wrong end of the stick or something, kephren!
