Star Trek: Federation One 1.01 "Unity" Preview

[aberdown]

Helena was good.

Odyssey was good.

Federation is fucking awful!

This is just Rob Caves pandering to the hypocrites that don't want Gay Trek.

I bet you hypocrites didn't know that Gene Roddenberry always wanted a gay character on Star Trek he just never got round to it.

There stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

[Klaus1386]

@aberdown Yeah.. no rainbow trek thx

[aberdown]

This President comes across as a thoroughly evil person.

I hope that was Robs intention cause that is how she comes across.

[saquist]

As long as this isn't another GAY TREK. I'm kewl with it.

What's happened to Trek as a Family show? Just show good adventures and I'll watch

[Zgamer618]

omg this was really good bra

[Traininghopper]

Anyone else tempted to do a Vindenpawl/Heath Ledger joker mash up?

[goranconkic]

I do have to say that this is the best Star Trek fan made stuff that I have seen until now. Respect.

[steve2275]

0:49 is a good pause

[dspikey]

can anyone tell me what the clip at 0.50 is ? which show and episode ??

[CynicalVision]

The guy at 0:23 seems completely out of place, like he doesn't suit being in something like this.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Actually, this was their second or third production. They've done other shows, many of the characters/actors come from those.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

To all of you who says this is "crap." Do you understand that this, like many fanfilms out there, generally doesn't have millions of dollars to spen on their projects?

The people behind Starship Exeter is a studio where people are trained to do this stuff professionally. It's a media production school. They can afford a budget for actual sets. Hidden Frontier, which produces Federation One, can't.

[sm0kingJay]

The concept is great.

[ravernelly]

The acting isn't good enough i.e. too fake sorry just my opinion, but a very good effort all the same.

[Spectralancer]

Yeah; this is CRAP. Bad sets and makeup can be excused to an extent. Nonexistent acting and black marker lines on "aliens'" faces cannot. "YOU suspect sabotage? (dramatic eye roll)" Also I love these original lines: "We stand upon the brink of waaahr!" and "Fire at will!" LOL!

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Let's see you do better.

[Ectroverse]

Still looks amazing for a fan flick.

[Spectralancer]

That's a huge, sick insult to fan films.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Too bad Hidden Frontier is pretty popular huh?

[Spectralancer]

Yeah, I know. Trekkies with no taste will take anything they can get now that Trek is off the air for the foreseeable future.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Again, if you think you can do better, than by all means, do so. If not, stop complaining hater.

[Spectralancer]

A critic's job is not to do better than any given artists, it is to critique said artists according to objective criteria. This production is pure garbage, and as I've said, the ridiculous visuals could possibly be excused if the acting was good, but the acting isn't even passable. Giving a negative critique is not "hating."

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

A critic is suppose to find the good and bad though. I've written movie reviews for the last six/seven years, and try to write about the good and bad about the movie i'm reviewing.

[Spectralancer]

There's nothing good here; get over it.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Looks like you're the one with the problem. Nobody really cares if you have a problem with it.

Yes, the sets are not that great. That's because they're green screened into the scene.

The acting has dramatically improved over the years.

For their budget, the make-up is pretty good. Don't expect anything elaborate.

Some of the actors have acting credits to their name. Mostly independent films.

[Spectralancer]

Okay, fanboy, keep justifying your love affair with garbage. The sets aren't that great because they're greenscreened? Greenscreening doesn't have to be *that* bad. The acting has dramatically improved? So now it's marginally watchable, in a B-movie way, as opposed to utterly unwatchable? The makeup's pretty good, for the budget? Is that supposed to excuse the fact that it's terrible? Some of the actors have credits to their name? Well, now, that *really* means something. I'll stay with quality.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

I am no fan boy. If you actually went to their website, and watched their stuff, you might change your mind on calling this "garbage."

This is a low-budget project. I bet the stuff Hollywood produces would try to save money by drawing lines on an actor portraying an alien.

The special effects (space and ships shots) are actually really good.

It's just not your thing, which is fine. Why not go watch something from another YouTuber you'll actually enjoy.

[CaptnStarbring]

The acting feels much better then the "star trek phase 2" project. At the very least they were able to take the "tiny" sounds out of their voices.

[Traininghopper]

True the acting is a litle off and over the top but there not real actors so we can't expect professional acting levels straight away. Fanfilms are like a good Port they get better as they mature.

Though I would like to see more reality in regards to the politics, there is the potiential there to make Vindenpawl a truwly unforgettable character that breaks the evil with no humanity mold that Trek villians have become. And there's a lot to draw inspiration from: Jeffery Archer, Claude Destain

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

good effort and that can only end up with its own reward..keep working at it guys youre doing great!

[hcvang]

please stop making these

I cringe...

good fucking god.

[hcvang]

actually, no... keep making 'em.

maybe people will begin to appreciate professional production and acting again.

[lonerook860]

OMG the nerds are getting organised...

[hcvang]

always been organised enough to make crap.

Look at Starship Exeter - their productions are a hell of a lot more watchable than this shit they do at Hidden Frontier... The acting on Exeter is actually acceptable! So's the writing! and the sets are GOOD!

[lonerook860]

Um no ppl disagree actually. The acting is wooden, the plots are no doubt derivative.

[hcvang]

Um, I dont care? I think Exeter looks a hell of a lot better than the rest... Opinion is mine, and there ain't nottin' you can do 'bout it! ;-)

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Comparing Exeter and Hidden Frontier is like comparing apples to oranges. One has the backing of a media production school (Exeter), the other doesn't (HF).

[Traininghopper]

The whole basis of Star Trek is that it is about the characters their lives, their differ opinion, their trials and tribulations. Not the technology.

[hcvang]

The "actors" can't act! Whatever Star Trek is about, it's still supposed to be Drama.

This ain't. This is little more than a meme.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

You obviously never watched HF's productions.

[Graham2271]

Totally agree, Exeter is good enough to be the next Star Trek TV series, and when the brilliant episode "The Tressaurian Intersection" is completed and shown at Trek conventions, I hope Paramount sit up and take notice and feel the same way.

[Traininghopper]

The Archerains are back again? I thought their transwarp gate was destroyed...

Diplomacy is the art of saying, "Good Doggy" while you look for a larger stick.

[SynDuo]

Whats the name of the song used in the trailer? I know there is a few of them...

[HiddenFrontier]

Sorry can't tell you the exact track off hand but it's from a sounddogs collection.

[Thanos71185]

@HiddenFrontier O Fortuna by Carl Orff i'f i'm not mistaken :]

[sikileia]

Nice trailer!! Keep the good job guys!! Congratz to the cast&crew involved!!

[Traininghopper]

Looks good. The Excelisor looks alot better with the Nebular sensor pod rater then an extra nacelle.

[Styx477]

looks pretty cool

[lordsjaak]

wow...wauw...dubble wow

[TrainingThespian]

All I gots to say is: ALL HAIL VINDENPAWL!

[ellianth]

Their acting has improved a lot over the years. Unfortunately every shot seems to be at the exact same angle.

[TrainingThespian]

It's because the series is shot on a green screen background. Unfortunately, there is no way to vary the angle.

[ellianth]

I know how the series is shot. I've seen other things shot in front of a green screen before. You can vary the angle. Just takes a bit more work.

[DAHstra]

Hook me up! I'm there. :D

[triplefiction]

You've got me on the edge of my seat. It looks awesome!

[Dreamscape42]

One Federation, one word...Awesome!

[baalthegreat]

this looks absolutely AMAZING!!!! I can't wait!
