I think they did real well. The make Asian actor was real good and put emotions in but without over acting, well so far as I have seen. The rest is pretty casual but no over acting so far.
Become the character and let it be convincing in a natural way, so don't try too hard. The art of acting is not the literal part, but making us believe that the character is real and not acting. If it is not coming from within you then you will be just that...a character living in a pipe dream. Best of luck. And when I say you, I mean in general of all characters.
Its free.. dont watch it? no really if you hate the damn thing. I think the LAST thing the sci fi community needs is another hyper critical non fan of the genre.
and actually the SF costumes are adapted well. they fit a mix of VOY & TNG "future starfleet' as well as 29th century timeline uniforms. the badge looks the the former yet modified!
omg unclench your sphincters... its decent production values for a fan film.. um go take a look at TOS or early TNG,.... kinda crappy fx... not everything HAS to be exact canon ..otherwise there'd be no star trek 2009 film........
I kinda really like how dry and dark this looks! Love the uniforms - ditch the intro though. Try to bring in a new spin on the show's universe, rather than standard neutral zone tensions.. Maybe we can expect some Starfleet factional infighting? Berman's Treks set the stage for a factional Starfleet.. 100 years on, one might expect this to be failing?..
Visually very well done, apart from the uniforms, which don't look very starfleet-like. But it overall seemingly doesn't fit into the ST universe very well
The Next Generation cams of an actor facing the camera were there because it was popular in 80s television. In real life people don't speak with their back to someone. Also, the uniforms look too much like some kind of futuristic biker outfit. The admiral doesn't look like someone who is a leader of others. Admirals don't have to defend themselves to subordinates. Other than that, I think this has the best production quality of any Star Trek fan fiction I've seen yet; you actually have sets.
. I'm also going to start my own little fan series. Check it out watch?v=qA_ehm7Zzw8&list=UU955L8TGwzXhVvg0r3_1jmw&index=1&feature=plcp I also have some star trek reviews on my channel as well.
Incredible. I love it. Production quality, effects and cast are awesome - oh, and the script is amazing. very polished. Very true to Trek, I like many fan films, but this is one of the best I've ever seen. The acting is extremely professional. All involved must be very proud. Can't wait to see more. Thanks, from one die hard Trekker - you help fill the void since no Trek is on TV these days,
Not bad, not bad. I have the same opinion on fanfilms: Most of them are pure crap - but you guys have potential. Good Acting and good concept, BUT: you really should get the help of one of these billions of talented STAR TREK nerds who are capable of creating photorealistic CGI - and (what is quite easy by the way) you should do some color-grading of the materiel... it looks too amateurish... Keep up the good work!
Értékelem a próbálkozást, de ez elég gagyi. :S Mind a színészi játék, mind a cgi munkálatok. Tudom, hogy rajongói cucc, de azért ez így elég kevés összességében.
Mindenesetre még így is örülök neki, hogy van valami terítéken. De ha tovább folytatják ilyen színvonallal, nem hiszem, hogy be fog futni bárhol is a sorozat...
Well done! Especially Elle Sonnet,S. Joe Downing and Ben Andrews all pulled it off , was good but noticed he has braces hope he can loose them for rest because not a bad thing but i think affects speech and ability to smile is as if he is trying to hide it which of course limits him but otherwise great! Also a lil better space graphics(not the ship) and of course better sets and they are there i think alltho know is budget and will get better! Well done :D
Id say this is the best fan star trek film ever done. Its one step away from being just like the show. I would have said that they should have taken there ques from how the original show did there angles and that BUT beyond that its super good. costumes are top grade and sets and effects are also top grade. would be nice to have this as the next tv show. a ++++++++++
This is very good but some work needs to be done. First better camera angles and a little more practice in the acting on what the story is on. Also slow down some I think some of the things that were done in the movie where too fast I believe a little more time in some parts of your story would make this better. Other than that nice job on the video.
HAHAHAHAHA Rihannsu. XDDDDD Fell out of my chair laughing, lol.
*composes self* This pilot....blew my mind. The effects are phenomenal, the story is well-written, and the acting takes me back to old Trek. :') I demand more!!!!
A decent fan made series,. True the acting isn't award winning brilliance, but the original series, let's remember wasn't completely either with a lot of their acting.
A decent fan made series,. True the acting isn't award winning brilliance, but the original series, let's remember wasn't completely either with a lot of their acting.
I've seen ALL the Trek fan films/series etc... even the one by James Crawley who shoots the homage to classic trek and his as well as most of them are awful. Most trek fan films are atrocious because those making them know how to use a computer but can't write or act. Hence we get crap like "The New Voyages". Yours however, is SUPERB. You went out of your way to actually write a decent script and have the film crew try and "act". Your show is superior and you should be proud.
Generally good. Is something not quite professional with the lighting - too many shadows appearing, and on the walls in meeting rooms. Effects generally good, costumes, most sets more than acceptable.
the camera needs tints. to give it a movie feel. like enterprise series. . . the actors feel uncomfortable. makes it awkward to watch. needs to be less scripted. let the actors do some improv. i agree with top comment its like Andromida but with a bad camera. shit ild love to help this out.. make me assistant director!!
I'm not sure what to say about this. Good on you for making an effort. Perhaps you could learn some basic editing and camera placement techniques to focus the story more. Way to much "shot-reverse-shot" here. The shots themselves are either a second or two too long or cutting abruptly. All this drives a stake through the heart of your story. The pacing is eratic too. Just because you can show a pretty special effect doesn't mean that you have too.
Keep it up, But relax. By the way, where was the captain when his bridge was ripped off? Starfeet captains are usually on the bridge during combat......
@bobfrapples21 if it were a surprise attack he may have been in the head. i've never understood why they put the bridge on top other than for aesthetic reasons, functionally it's just not a good idea.
Acting is not so bad come on, it's just that you need moke to have a caracter in the actors. Like the captain is not acting captin like. He is more like a jerk red shirt pilot who was killed eventualy.
Ship- Not star trek like... looked like the outside was romulan and didn't like the inside look of the ship, but did like the holographic pop out screens used...
Uniforms- didn't like the design.... less leather could be used
Everybody relax. It's a fan film. The acting seems bad because the effects have been ramped up. Anyway the acting wouldn't bothered me if the pace had been picked up.
The acting is HORRIBLE. The visual effects, OK. The sound quality/music SUCKS - BAD. I hope an ACTUAL Star Trek series is coming soon, I miss it. Enterprise was good, but I found the lower level of technology frustrating at times.
Not bad, you're clearly putting in a lot of effort. My criticism isn't one I expect to give fan series but you should limit your FX shots. An actor didn't appear in this episode until 3 minutes and 18 seconds in. That is a lot of wasted time for a new viewer.
The FX shots look nice given the limited budget but they don't mean anything if everything else happening isn't interesting. This is why Star Trek use a story hook before even playing the main titles. Just a thought.
This is surprisingly good. I've seen a lot of fan-made web series' but this is by far the best. I'm not all for 'new' adventures, but this has me interested. It would be cool if you guys were picked up and aired on television!
The Liason and Enemy Engagement Lieutentant actually sounds like Microsoft Anna!
It was a great idea - there NEEDS to be another Star Trek series - set in the Future (I hate ret-conning prequels) - but while the era is right and the effects are on a par with those from the "professional" series, the acting is, as many commentators have suggested, far too wooden and high-school-drama-y for my tastes...
Good storyline, I think it can lead places. Decent effects. Acting - mostly bad. The Admiral seems to be the only real actor, the Romulan was good, too. The Doctor overdid his accent and use of British colloquialisms. Also, whats with so many people lisping? Nice braces, Captain.
acting needs improvement. the setting could have been better as well, i think the captain should have been walking around cheeking up on his crew instead of waiting in a random corridor for people to come to him. the uniforms also need some work, it would help if you get rid of the fish net and leather.
The guy that plays the captain is clearly a dick head with no friends. His beard makes him look like a sex offender, and I'm pretty sure sex offenders wouldn't be allowed to be in Starfleet, let alone captain a vessel.
I honestly thought the whole thing was a joke, until I saw their reasonably professional website, which the cast probably designed whilst wearing their shitty, S&M uniforms and touching each others' necks.
You know, I'd buy Phoenix on Blu-Ray. Here are some fans who actually built the interior of the ship, plus, made some pretty damn awesome special effects. Not seen any other fans who got better stuff to show. Please keep making this show!
Actually "Rihannsu" is a fanon interpretation of the word 'Romulan' in the Romulan language. Also, the new Romulan "Home" is on Rator III, as established by Star Trek Online.
@tarbis1 According to trekmovie(dot)com, she´s a total of 1,4km long!
Rather huge for a Federation ship but I like the idea future ships to create artificial wormholes for long distances and still use warp for a trip "around the block".
I'm going to both disagree and occassionally agree with TheWolfmanG. The acting isn't fantastic, but it's certainly not terrible. I was interested in the characters and wanting to know more about them from the first five minutes of the film.
It's EXCEPTIONAL. I'm in love with it! The quality is fantastic, the writing a little melodramatic in places but pretty damn good, and I'm very impressed with the sets and effects and yes, even the acting - as occassionally wooden as it might be. More!
I like this very much. Great production values for a pro/fan effort, including sets, design, and post. Any complaints I could express are mostly about the symptoms of a team that has yet to learn how to produce television with each other in the smoothest possible way.
This is good new Trek and it deserves attention. I hope there's more to come.
Considering its background, I might actually need to read the more recent series fiction coming out of Pocket Books. And that's saying something.
Good production value, acting, special effects, etc., but doesn't feel like Star Trek, more like B5. It has a "kick ass and take names" feel about it, not really Star Trek as I know it.
Responding to Tetsuyia...I worked on the project. All of the dialogue was ADR so the audio is considered the best by professional standards. The lighting was also done by a professional grip and the actors are local, professional actors in Seattle. As far as standing close to the camera I'm not sure what the issue is. Thanks for the comments and for your support of the production.
This is not what the star trek fans are worthy of. The Acting is terrible.... but the story is a possibility. I like the name phoenix... but the uniforms need more COLOR! And why is the Captain in PURPLE? WTF?
Keep working on it.....
I say the NEXT TV Sires should be START TREK the ACADEMY!!!!
like this series so far,but I have a question does this takes place in the original timeline or the new timeline Capt.Picard & Co. created after the events of First Contact(movie) which essentially created a new time line for Star trek Enterprise.cause there Starfleet after the Xindi attack assigned Special Ops..you get the meaning.I hope is the original timeline.cause at the end of D.S.9 Lt.cmdr.Worf was promoted to Federation Amb. to Cronos.
@CmdrSloanne First Contact started the "original" timeline, as it's heavily implied that without guidance from Picards Crew, Cochrane would never have worked with the vulcans so well. The "Special Ops" (MACOs) from Enterprise are (at least that's what I heard) generally thought to have been absorbed into the regular security teams after the founding of the Federation and Earth Starfleet becoming part of Federation Starfleet.
As for Cloak and Dagger: Love the episode. Especially the uniforms. ;)
@Draco1985m Your right in one thing Star Trek First Contact was the catechist of this new timeline,the NX as it appears in Star Trek Enterprise wasn't suppose to exist in our reality,but a far less advance ship as seen in the original series & in ST:The Motion Picture when Capt.Decker takes V'ger drone Ilia to the rec room.creating a paradox & new timeline seen in the latest Star trek movie that 23th century is a continuation of ST:Enterprise.
@CmdrSloanne You got something wrong there. The NX-01 IS part of the primary timeline, it's just been retconned in with Enterprise. It always existed, but no one ever mentioned it. Yes, that's hard to swallow, but that's the way the story's supposed to play out. All of Star Trek, until ST XI that is, took part into one singular "preferred" timeline that never got radically altered.
@Draco1985m you got a point there too.What I'm referring to the NX-Enterprise design.if you can see it as similarities with a sovereign class USS Enterprise-D from a certain angles of the saucer section.Zefram,Lily & others might have seen the 1701-D with their telescopes.even the phase pistols are more like 23th phasers.in the pilot of Star Trek,when Capt.Pike was in C/O,they had lasers pistols,etc..in Star Trek 11.you can see the changes beginning to affect the 24th.
-Visuals are good. Uniforms are different but nice.
-Actors are poor and uptight. Their acting don't seem real. Seems like they're forcing the act. Feels like their reading from a script. therefore theres no ambition or realism to the video. Cheezy.
Has more of an Andromina feel, not a star trek feel.
- 6/10.. poor but worth watching
-Stop being so nerdy. Get some real actors. Looks like a play by a bunch of nerds.
The Doctor was definitely the most relaxed actor in the show. The rest of them need to slow down, speak their lines, and try to be a little more natural. Easier said than done, but it will come with practise.
As you said, 6/10. Worth watching, lets hope episode 2 is a little more polished.
I am totally invested in this. Very imaginative designs and sound effects. All the old pieces are there but re-imagined. Brilliant transporter effect and I love the fact that space isn't simply a black void with stars in the background. The acting is pretty good and holds its own. Can't wait to see the bridge! I love the use of the holographic controls! Keep up the great work!

Acting is not so bad come on, it's just that you need moke to have a caracter in the actors. Like the captain is not acting captin like. He is more like a jerk red shirt pilot who was killed eventualy.
GOOD Work i love it!

Acting- Bad
Ship- Not star trek like... looked like the outside was romulan and didn't like the inside look of the ship, but did like the holographic pop out screens used...
Uniforms- didn't like the design.... less leather could be used
pace- way way way too slow

Everybody relax. It's a fan film. The acting seems bad because the effects have been ramped up. Anyway the acting wouldn't bothered me if the pace had been picked up.

The acting is HORRIBLE. The visual effects, OK. The sound quality/music SUCKS - BAD. I hope an ACTUAL Star Trek series is coming soon, I miss it. Enterprise was good, but I found the lower level of technology frustrating at times.

Not bad, you're clearly putting in a lot of effort. My criticism isn't one I expect to give fan series but you should limit your FX shots. An actor didn't appear in this episode until 3 minutes and 18 seconds in. That is a lot of wasted time for a new viewer.
The FX shots look nice given the limited budget but they don't mean anything if everything else happening isn't interesting. This is why Star Trek use a story hook before even playing the main titles. Just a thought.

The Liason and Enemy Engagement Lieutentant actually sounds like Microsoft Anna!
It was a great idea - there NEEDS to be another Star Trek series - set in the Future (I hate ret-conning prequels) - but while the era is right and the effects are on a par with those from the "professional" series, the acting is, as many commentators have suggested, far too wooden and high-school-drama-y for my tastes...

Good storyline, I think it can lead places. Decent effects. Acting - mostly bad. The Admiral seems to be the only real actor, the Romulan was good, too. The Doctor overdid his accent and use of British colloquialisms. Also, whats with so many people lisping? Nice braces, Captain.
jelesnia24 8 months ago
acting needs improvement. the setting could have been better as well, i think the captain should have been walking around cheeking up on his crew instead of waiting in a random corridor for people to come to him. the uniforms also need some work, it would help if you get rid of the fish net and leather.
firebirddrumer 8 months ago
The guy that plays the captain is clearly a dick head with no friends. His beard makes him look like a sex offender, and I'm pretty sure sex offenders wouldn't be allowed to be in Starfleet, let alone captain a vessel.
I honestly thought the whole thing was a joke, until I saw their reasonably professional website, which the cast probably designed whilst wearing their shitty, S&M uniforms and touching each others' necks.

I don´t think the actors are poor, like someone said before, it seemed almost real - just try to get a little more relaxed while acting.
At all, you did a good job, the effects are very good in relation to other fan productions and you´ve got great sets.

Actually "Rihannsu" is a fanon interpretation of the word 'Romulan' in the Romulan language. Also, the new Romulan "Home" is on Rator III, as established by Star Trek Online.

Rather huge for a Federation ship but I like the idea future ships to create artificial wormholes for long distances and still use warp for a trip "around the block".

I'm going to both disagree and occassionally agree with TheWolfmanG. The acting isn't fantastic, but it's certainly not terrible. I was interested in the characters and wanting to know more about them from the first five minutes of the film.
It's EXCEPTIONAL. I'm in love with it! The quality is fantastic, the writing a little melodramatic in places but pretty damn good, and I'm very impressed with the sets and effects and yes, even the acting - as occassionally wooden as it might be. More!

I like this very much. Great production values for a pro/fan effort, including sets, design, and post. Any complaints I could express are mostly about the symptoms of a team that has yet to learn how to produce television with each other in the smoothest possible way.
This is good new Trek and it deserves attention. I hope there's more to come.
Considering its background, I might actually need to read the more recent series fiction coming out of Pocket Books. And that's saying something.

Good production value, acting, special effects, etc., but doesn't feel like Star Trek, more like B5. It has a "kick ass and take names" feel about it, not really Star Trek as I know it.

Responding to Tetsuyia...I worked on the project. All of the dialogue was ADR so the audio is considered the best by professional standards. The lighting was also done by a professional grip and the actors are local, professional actors in Seattle. As far as standing close to the camera I'm not sure what the issue is. Thanks for the comments and for your support of the production.

like this series so far,but I have a question does this takes place in the original timeline or the new timeline Capt.Picard & Co. created after the events of First Contact(movie) which essentially created a new time line for Star trek Enterprise.cause there Starfleet after the Xindi attack assigned Special Ops..you get the meaning.I hope is the original timeline.cause at the end of D.S.9 Lt.cmdr.Worf was promoted to Federation Amb. to Cronos.
CmdrSloanne 1 year ago
@CmdrSloanne First Contact started the "original" timeline, as it's heavily implied that without guidance from Picards Crew, Cochrane would never have worked with the vulcans so well. The "Special Ops" (MACOs) from Enterprise are (at least that's what I heard) generally thought to have been absorbed into the regular security teams after the founding of the Federation and Earth Starfleet becoming part of Federation Starfleet.
As for Cloak and Dagger: Love the episode. Especially the uniforms. ;)
Draco1985m 10 months ago
@Draco1985m Your right in one thing Star Trek First Contact was the catechist of this new timeline,the NX as it appears in Star Trek Enterprise wasn't suppose to exist in our reality,but a far less advance ship as seen in the original series & in ST:The Motion Picture when Capt.Decker takes V'ger drone Ilia to the rec room.creating a paradox & new timeline seen in the latest Star trek movie that 23th century is a continuation of ST:Enterprise.
CmdrSloanne 10 months ago
@CmdrSloanne You got something wrong there. The NX-01 IS part of the primary timeline, it's just been retconned in with Enterprise. It always existed, but no one ever mentioned it. Yes, that's hard to swallow, but that's the way the story's supposed to play out. All of Star Trek, until ST XI that is, took part into one singular "preferred" timeline that never got radically altered.
Draco1985m 10 months ago
@Draco1985m you got a point there too.What I'm referring to the NX-Enterprise design.if you can see it as similarities with a sovereign class USS Enterprise-D from a certain angles of the saucer section.Zefram,Lily & others might have seen the 1701-D with their telescopes.even the phase pistols are more like 23th phasers.in the pilot of Star Trek,when Capt.Pike was in C/O,they had lasers pistols,etc..in Star Trek 11.you can see the changes beginning to affect the 24th.

-Nice braces Captain..lol
-Visuals are good. Uniforms are different but nice.
-Actors are poor and uptight. Their acting don't seem real. Seems like they're forcing the act. Feels like their reading from a script. therefore theres no ambition or realism to the video. Cheezy.
Has more of an Andromina feel, not a star trek feel.
- 6/10.. poor but worth watching
-Stop being so nerdy. Get some real actors. Looks like a play by a bunch of nerds.
-Keep up the efforts.
-Room for improvement.
TheWolfmanG 1 year ago 4
@TheWolfmanG
I was thinking pretty well much the same thing.
The Doctor was definitely the most relaxed actor in the show. The rest of them need to slow down, speak their lines, and try to be a little more natural. Easier said than done, but it will come with practise.
As you said, 6/10. Worth watching, lets hope episode 2 is a little more polished.

I am totally invested in this. Very imaginative designs and sound effects. All the old pieces are there but re-imagined. Brilliant transporter effect and I love the fact that space isn't simply a black void with stars in the background. The acting is pretty good and holds its own. Can't wait to see the bridge! I love the use of the holographic controls! Keep up the great work!
