Star Trek was the best series of series' ever on television, but sadly it has lost much of its fan base. Are there enough real trekkies (not trekkers) out there to keep it going? I, for one, would love to see a post-Dominion war series somewhat akin to TNG. Cough....cough....Titan. I wonder what J. Frakes is up to these days? Imagine what modern CGI could do for trek, if you've seen the last season of DS9, then you have some idea.
We had, but you can bet they were expensive and the creator of this montage didn't have one. this was probably made with two VCRs, one playing and one recording. Clipping was done with toil and tears, and this one must have taken a days, if not more, of work.
Rob is a professional editor of 20+ years and it was edited in one day on an Avid system back in 1996. He also owns/knows every ST episode by heart, so it was easy for him to select moments.
We had digital editors in 1990, (CMX 6000, Edit-Droid, Avid) it just took a while for the system to become cost effective and become accepted by the industry.
What I especially like about this is it was made way before "Enterprise" was concieved, so there was no need to feel obligated to include clips from that show, which I just prefer to imagine never happened.
@rocketdave I so agree with you there. The actors were superb, and the women were hot. However, the writers and producers got sloppy, and tried to rewrite the bible. Not good. Braga, Moore, and Berman all burned out with Voyager and should have overhauled the writing staff, as well as the production staff to give the show a fresh look to it. Also, they should have stayed true to canon.
You are the same person who made Free Enterprise and that puts you to a high note in my book already but after watching this you have reached another level. This is fantastic. You should continue melding great music with great footage such as this.
This is the clearest example of the difference between an amature (99% of the people who post on youtube) and a professional. It's not just a hodge podge of shots thrown together to some music There are themes here The shots are thought out. There is actually a progression. Pleople who want to be editors should watch this. People who think themselves editors should take a good look at this and see how it's really done.
I guess this is some sort of outter space kind of show...

We are not amused.

Hard to believe we had digital editors in 1996.
Nice video. 4 stars.
