star trek 11: borg invasion

[maparker3211]

it was a nice video but you made the tatical cube real weak and it would have taken more then just a few torpedo hits to destroy it but nice video though :-)

[MobiusOne86]

I like the scene when the ships team up again and fire

[ducktopia301]

lol nice video and 3d animation

was the cube AFK?

[thedavecorp]

Looks fine to me, although I believe it's against regulations to go to warp within the solar system. I'm not sure why - it has been done from time to time. Kirk did it to get to VGER, Major Kira did it to stop the changeling from blowing up the B'Joren sun.

[tsukishime]

This is amazing and very inspiration to me as a newcomer to animation. What software did you use to design the 3D model and animate it? Thank you!

[SupositoryRepository]

IN AD 2101 WAR WAS BEGINNING.

[hollywoodtiger182]

Nice job scott,added this to my star trek playlist

[jeremyamac]

great!

thats one of my favorite ships

[Surcrat]

The scene with the destruction (3:46 - 4:00) looks good!

Nice work ;)

[TechTalkGuy]

Very cool Trek, but how can you make the Borg look so weak?

The cube didn't even attack.

Good video!

[Nitemare]

it was very difficult to plan and design an attack, i had just started doing 3d animation when i made this, so i had to keep it simple

[TechTalkGuy]

Very smooth animation!

You did an amazing job.

[supajedi03]

Cool vid but bad choice of music. should have been voyager theme instead of next generation as the ship was on a voyager episode. Still a great vid though u should make more.

[Nitemare]

A. Voyager never made a movie, so they never have theatrical music made

B. the setting took place in the alpha quadrant, starting at earth

C. i think the music was one of the better parts of the animation

[HunterKiller999]

Very well made and a great concept, but it wouldn't work practically. Still, it's an awesome video.

[Nineblades]

COOLLLL! r u gonna make another 1?

[duosoft]

lol wicked.

filthy borg.

[RussianRasta1981]

When the Prometheus appears behinde earth at 01:40, it seems as if the ship is as big as the moon ;-)

Music by Jerry GoldSmith!! ;-)

[phillip1054]

well done m8, i enjoyed it.

[HomoCyberneticus]

I must say, Borg Cube explosion was pretty decent; whole fight does have to be more dynamic and a lot more faster. Good job.

[XanderXereus]

Pretty cool. I would probably double the speed of the attack sequence to make it look more dynamic. :)

[SaraOfNaughtyham]

Nice start!

[dexterbeatz]

wow i think the borg cubes were really amazing!!!!

very good work

keep on going...

[FLAME4564]

lol for a ship of this class man that prometheus class ship animation in this vid sure is DAMN fast.

[1983elzorro]

Nice job! Keep going guys, u rock!

[AuP2k1]

Cool video I thought it was great.

I thought that in the separated form all three ship could have attacked a little more but other then that it was great. =)

[catzoo1]

great video and what u did with the promethus class ship is perfect the desigh was to do that. would love to seen a longer battle tho. be more intresting

[dawwg420]

man u rock hope to see more good work from u

[kieron5678]

Imagine If The Ent A Was A Pommie Kahn Will SHit Hisself When it Seperted lol

[MajKaos]

Nice work. The ship coming around the planet needs work, as does the manuevering about the borg cube, but is was otherwise really good. I like what you did with the ship breaking into 3 pieces.I would like to see more.

[captainofvoyager]

that's a nice ship

[Neilescada]

Commendable! Jealous that I can't do stuff like that yet.

[jiros1]

Awesome!!

[petermelhag]

Uhm, about the shot with the ship coming around from behind the planet. Jesus! How big is that ship supposed to be!?

[captainofvoyager]

big

[petermelhag]

Ok, I get it. Its big! But come on, that ship is the size of Turkey down on the earth surface...

[captainofvoyager]

well, the guy is doing this by hand, so give him some credit............

[Svarcniger]

I would like to see the Prometheus class starships in more episodes in Star Trek!

[artbycarlgookins]

That was pretty good. I have seen A LOT of other videos that don't look at all as good as this one. Good work. As home computers get better...Im sure we will all have more options for making better homemade stuff. :)

[wagnerologist1984]

How did you get this music??

[Nitemare]

i downloaded a few movie and audio clips off the internet, and the edited it to match

[finalmind]

Don't give up your day jobs! Hilarious!

[StarGazerBleu]

sweet video, isnt this opening theam from first contact? love the 4 nacells(i know bad speller), i love to know what this ship can do and what did you name her?

[S0car08]

its a prometheus class, named after the first ship of this class

[bigguy4570]

like the idea of the three part ship great job.

[BlakeMason2]

HAHAHAH "No Borg were hurt in the making of this film." :) The whole animation was very professional. Excellent job Scott. Are you going into the business profesionally??? The triple-threat federation ship concept was really cool. Nice job.

[XsubzeroX525]

i luv the borg :D

[thegodofmusic04]

yes!! the full intro for voyager!!! thats whats over due, a voyager based movie, and also an enterprise based movie....i dont want annother kirk movie, dont get me wrong love the cast but its not the same with out half of them dead, and not in it....

[Zube1337]

Skip the intro please!!:O

[Nitemare]

have you heard of fast forward, besides that IS the movie, numbnut

[sasrasmus]

The most best movie of a battle i have seen

[Jurassic343]

I really liked it, took me a while to think were i saw that ship before, then when i saw it break into three parts then I thought oh ya from voyeger. Great episode too!

[Capzlockmaniac]

lmao omg nice lol.

u should make another, just abit longer, maybe a romulan warbird decloaking 2 help or something

i liked the explosion at the end

wt program u use?

[jlamadrid91]

unless those were transphasic torpedoes then thats impossible.

[Nitemare]

maybe they are :P, lighten up

[jlamadrid91]

lol....alright aright.

[pisscunt]

thats cool

[themightyjfox]

A litte tit bit for you ,the USS Prometheus design was what the producers of Voyager were going to use but in a Two Warp nacelle set up .

[tombo1984]

Doesnt take allot to destroy a Borg Cube these days does it? lol

[JoeMuttStarr]

Nah, only a few photons.

[MrBrownstone888]

ahhh... I just love the seperating ship concept, but I seem to remember voyager delbing in that a bit, But keep up the good work.

[Nitemare]

well thats teh prometheus from voyager:P, but thanks:)

[MrBrownstone888]

Yes thankyou, I spent half the night trying to remember the name of the ship, I was too tired and sick just to look it up in my archives, I have like every Star trek episode from every series... By the way, this music is the best music ever creaed from a star Trek production.

[ricsyd99]

Great ship design, it certaily beats the "cartoon" Enterprise from Nemesis.

[ggorilla1]

Great video! (Now I understood why the ship had 4 warp nacelles lol)

Really cool explosion anyway. Cheers!

[RedwoodTheElf]

When I first saw it, and remembered how Voyager's Nacelles move before the ship goes into warp, I thought "Cool...the universe's biggest X-wing."

[sonusaber]

danke ich muss noch fahren

[lordkeku]

nette explosion

[Nitemare]

Translation: nice explosion

responce: thanks, took me a month to get right

[RedwoodTheElf]

Apparently, in this universe, planets are only about 10 miles in diameter (look at the proportional size of the ship as it comes around from behind the planets)

[ricsyd99]

A little baby Jupiter, how cute!

[LocutusDiBorg]

NICE!!!

This is AWESOME!

Best music!

[rcredit]

nice i like it rember treks FC marked the transiton peroid for star trek.

[tacaco23]

Nightmare, you have way too much time on your hands...

[ironwolf9089]

this real trailer and i whant ot see the new star trek movie whin it going ot be in theators

[Nitemare]

no, this is not a real trailer, its something a made a couple years ago

[ironwolf9089]

but i heard there was going to be a new star trek movie is that true if it is whin it comeing out

[Nitemare]

its supposed to come out christmast 2008

[ironwolf9089]

oh and not to be mean but the ship not move right but it was still good

[JDizzle4ever]

truth be told i didnt expect an invasion to be one cube...i was expecting an all out brawl between federation and borg. but this will have to do for now....

[Nitemare]

well look at wolf359, that was consitered an invasion...and that was one cube, granted it was a lot harder to beat, but hey, these graphic were hard consitering i had just picked up the program 4 weeks earlier

[veganzme]

music from the best star trek movie!!

[lompocus]

That was actually pretty nice. Why didn't you spend more time on the hanger+excelsior, though? I would have liked more detailed animations and 3d models. Paralax mapping is your ffriend for the cheap way out of modeling it all yourself.

[dbaylis1150]

Prometheus! MVAM! RULES!

[Telephone3333]

BORG SUCK... is there actually going to be a star trek 11

[Jonnychurch]

Yes they are filming Star trek 11 at the moment its about the early days in the carrer of James Kirk

[mandrake2273]

fantastic! Love to see another episode!

[Leylaashley]

Borg fail at life =x

[lokiquasar]

Winona Ryder is Spock's mom.... just an FYI

[TheKakuroMaster]

It was nice to see the multi-vector assault mode in action. A battle with the Borg put this to good use

[mikecindy285]

Brilliant. Keep up the good work. Maybe something with the Romulans next time?

[InfernaIWarrior]

great job

[wrestlesomnia]

nice video may i ask what program u used ?

send me a pm ;)

[Nitemare]

its in the credits, 3d studio max 5, and adobe premire pro

[lemdixon01]

The cgi looks very realistic. It looks just like a plastic model. Star Trek & Star Wars are science fantasy and 2001 a space oddity are based on the real word predictions. It takes centuries to reach other

star systems, you can't go thru wormholes and space ships don't move like planes. This is just mainstreams superficial interpretation.

[Nitemare]

you ever heard of something called an imagination,

lighten up or shut up

[pudi530]

That's Cool ship.This is The Prometheus Class!!

[JC315]

Speak like Yoda you do

[LocutusDiBorg]

So good! Thanks

[songofhologram]

The Borg Cube explosion was pretty sweet. What program did you use?

[Nitemare]

it was all done on 3D studio max 5

[GICking]

Man, I dont know how to sum it up! Some parts were simply awesome. Music editing, lettering, the beginning and going to warp all good stuff. Other parts were just horrible, like the weapons effects and fly bys when the Prometheus split and attacked the Cube.

Since I cant make a cgi vid, I guess I'd have to say overall good effort!

[Blacknaga96]

This Is In Las Vegas Right/.

[Nitemare]

las vegas? no i made it in canada

[Blacknaga96]

Ohhhh, They Have One In Las Vegas, It Cost 49.99 Dollars To Get In Nd Shit.. And Another 40 Dollas for Takin Souveniuor Pics..

[blacktuvix]

nice video

[sgacabouse]

prometheus was almost as big as the planet at begining wen comming round but cool

[Lanceo90]

Huh, strange, on Legacy the ship class name is NX, for every vessel of that type, ah well, confuseing ><

[lrthorne]

OK, the tech-talk from a lot of the folks in here is just flat-out Greek to me. But if you're interested in the opinion of a simple layman....Fantastic and VERY entertaining! Thanks!

[darkwhitedirewolf]

well done thanks :)

[butcherben82]

Restistance is Futile

[robstranraer]

WELL DONE MATE

[startrecker]

Well done animation

[pozzolo1984]

Very Good,USS Prometheus, awesome attack ship

This ship appears in episode "Mensage in a bottle"

from Voyager.

[ils123a]

its to bad we will never do this or anythin that the star trek people ave done.

Still at least our kids will.

[pumpboygr]

Breathtaking, I am well impressed, humbled even by such talent.

[Lanceo90]

I was just saying NX class is what the first enterprise was along with NX-02 Columbia.

[Nitemare]

yeah thats because it was the First Warp 5 ship, and the second, they were both still prototypes, just like this ship

[BobbyFaas]

remember.... the excelsior was first also a NX vessel..... all new prototype vessel carry the prefix NX

[Chuck1701]

Nice work on the vid, but on the story, a bit optimistic, don't you think?

[Jim4575]

Uss Prometheus is an Nx ( Naval Experiment ) ship with multi vector assault mode. It's a little bigger the the Intrepid Class . It was close to the Souvergn class in weapons technolegdgy. It's top speed is somewhere in the 9.99 range. Cool ship.

[Lanceo90]

The ship number has NX in it, but thats not a NX class ship... Kinda looks like a Nova class with two extra nacelles.

[Nitemare]

actualy it is NX, NX in star trek means proto-type, and the USS Prometheus is a proto-type attack vessel, for the fight agenst the dominion (sorry about the spelling)

[Bedford1989]

awesome multivector assualt mode

[rockman2021]

a very kool video

[storehadji]

Cool.

What class ship is that? 4 nacelles rule!

[rockman2021]

The U.S.S Pegasus

[fleetadmiralchompa]

Not bad... pretty good concept for the new movie i say...good job yo! 5 stars

[Nitemare]

why thank you, but to be honest, i wasn't thinking of the actual star trek XI movie coming out in dec 2008, i made this 2 and a half years ago, before it was even thought of making a 11th movie;)

[fleetadmiralchompa]

thats true... but a good concept no doubt!!!!

[Nitemare]

thanks :)

[Galadraal]

the shot of the borg ship blowing up was really good :)

[lrac522]

That was so cool...

[talalsultan]

Nice movie. The word is PromethEus, not PromethIus; E not I :)

[Nitemare]

oops, agreed, it is mis spelt in the credits :S, but in my defence, its an i not an L:P, that atleast makes alittle more sence:P

[talalsultan]

Yep, that's what I wrote, but I wrote the letter in capital to stress on it :) so I wrote an i but in capital in this font it appears like an L in small letter...Fonts!! ;)

[ers586]

I guess resistance ISN'T futile. Whew!

[samharon]

admirable. what was that? Basic 3D studio MAX?

ahouldhv put the starry background. and more small shipd at the begining. and some captains dialogue. otherwise it was very well executed

[gavinovz]

It would be cool if a Borg cube could separate.

[Nitemare]

would be cool, but inconsistant, borg cubes have never seperated, except for in first contact whenthe smaller sphere detached from teh cube at the last minute, and made a run for a time vortex but that wasn't for combat, more like an oversized escape pod

[gavinovz]

yea I know, but hey it would be cool.

[4tylers777]

borg cubes can seperate in armada 2

[DarkFalconX]

Awesome video! I'v heard of Ed Giddings before...

He has designed some Stargate computer models.

I think that the ship could have destroyed the cube if it had Picard in command. ;)

[grantegoto]

nice work m8 ^^

[frdrsch]

nice work. But it's not really realistic that a single prometheus class can destroy a borg cube^^.

[Nitemare]

that kind of think has been done before, why should this be any different

[s2k997]

An interpid exploration class can destroy multiple borg cubes with one shot, but an experimental highly prized combat prototpye can't even take a cube on? The Romanuans didn't try to nick it because it was standard tech, it's above even what we can come to realise from regular explorer classified ships. We haven't even seen it properly on screen to tell, how can we say one way or the other what it is 'suppose' to defeat and what it isn't?

[frdrsch]

yes you may be right... my reference was the prometheus in Star Trek Bridge Commander....

To the intrepid class you mentionted... it could only destroy multiple borg cubes becuase of its future technologie.... we cant say for sure that the prometheus has it too, and even if they have the borg know about it and they will be prepared.

[s2k997]

I wouldn't go by what a game says, Armarda would have us believe two sovreign class ships would destroy a borg cube with ease; game dynamics and accurate portrayal often do not coexist well. On ships like the Excelsior it took over 30 years to properly be succeeded by the Ambassador class upon it's own standards. I'd think another highly experimental class would take an equal amount of time before it's innovations become standard tech.

[exc123]

Very good - You have a great imaginantion - DC Fontana and Jeffery (woops forgot his last name - graphic designer guy) all rolled into one.

[Mindbattler]

amazing work man!! wow :D

[lao4eva]

excellent!

[kephren1]

Interesting. Why do you use 3D studio max? Why don't you write your own graphics algorithms and hidden surface elimination routines? There's probably a graphics programming guru who thinks that using an animation package is cheating. Actually, a game is nothing but a higher-level animation package with higher-level subroutines.  At least that's how I see it. But nobody will ever push state-of-the-art graphics with machinima, that's for sure. Your stuff is gorgeous.

[kephren1]

Great work. Excellent. Did you use a game engine? If so, which one? 

[Nitemare]

a game, no, this is all done by hand on 3D studio max, i think using a gmae is cheating
