Good video. I liked it a lot. The only thing I would suggest is that the ending few seconds be the traditional 'Warp-Out' that we've come to know as Trek.
Personaly I don'think the ship should have been called Enterprise. Same for the show. Kirk's ship is a Constitution-Class ship, I remember reading the Navy(as Roddenbury would take most of Trek's style formalities from) ship-classes were named from the prototype vessle. In ST-TOS, the first of Enterprise's type would have been christened Constitution. Archer's ship(GOOD design!!) is not a Constitution-class ship. An alternate show name might be ST-To Boldly Go. Ship's name? Endeavor...? ArGO...?
@Velocity9s Considering ST:ENT takes place like 100 years PRIOR to TOS, the Constitution class hasn't even been dreamed of at this point. The Space Shuttle Enterprise was actually named after the Enterprise from TOS, and for story purposes serves as this Enterprise's ancestor (the shuttle Enterprise was the prototype space shuttle) and there for named after the original Space Shuttle. The name Enterprise has been used MANY times throughout history.
@Velocity9s the most famous 3 of which are the HMS Enterprise (British Galleon/Warship), USS Enterprise CVN-65 (American Aircraft Carrier), and the SS Enterprise (First Space Shuttle)
@vfarkill Thanks for answering! I'm a 47 yr old trek fan from way back and am aware of almost all you have mentioned in both posts. I'm not familier with your info concerning the 'backround' of ST-ENT's Ship. Are You saying that Star Fleet or whom ever named the 'Warp-5' ship after the SpaceShuttle Enterprise? Where did you read or hear about this information(which, incedently makes sence to me now...)?
@Velocity9s Sorry for the lengthy delay, I lost internet this past week. Nothing was actually SAID about the connection, however I feel that the opening to Enterprise tells the story. The name has been on some of the most famous ships of their day, so it makes since that the designers of the NX-class would feel that the first Warp-5 Interstellar starship would be more than deserving of that name. And as the opening has at least 2 of the 3 I mentioned appearing in it. "logic dictates" that ....
@Velocity9s Oh and the fact that both the SS Enterprise and NX Enterprise are the "prototypes" of their respective designs (Space Shuttle and Warp 5 Engine) that seems to be a minor "under the table" connection.
It's a pity that Enterprise didn't go farther than 4 Seasons due to cancellation--it left us with a 4-year Star Trek "dry spell", us fans eagerly waiting for a new movie or TV show! I think, though, that the ending in "These Are the Voyages" was pretty appropriate in featuring the major ships named Enterprise--the USS Enterprises from the 24th and 23rd Centuries and the Enterprise from the 22nd Century, all nearly exactly 100 years apart each (2363-2272, 2266-2285, and 2151-2161).
Very nicely done. I really think Enterprise would have done better if the opening title had been instrumental. It put off a lot of Trekkies right away. I might get flamed, but Enterprise is my favorite of the Treks as far as story telling goes.
this looked amazing! but why did you add so many scenes with battle damage? that sorta took away from the majesty of it and gave it a war raged look to the show...
This is extremely well made and I love it =] the only thing I think could be changed is that Archers narration starts just when the music really gets louder... maybe he can narrate and then the music kicks in? would make the sequence longer so we could get more images of the beautiful NX-01! =]
This outstanding and quite well done. I enjoyed the cast line-up pan and the sunset scean at the end. Although I am one of those that thinks that the FoTH theme is a match to Human ideals and the whole canon questions that ST:E and ST:FC set off from established canon in ST:TNG with the story concepts that Vulcan's hindered Human progress, and how FC with them actually happened. But I would love to know more about this video please email-contact me.
wished the enterprise XCV was on the wall and it pisses me off that there was no 5th season it was getting better during the 4th one 7th would have end in 08 hope they show us the romulan war someday
Sorry don't like it, especially the speech, it's like u say it without convincement and not like Picard kinda of serious, deep, universal way. And why change this clips, that wasnt the prob of Enterprise, i loved those, it was only the song.
@mentalrectangle It took quite some time but the Enterprise song eventually grew on me and I quite like it now. But I agree with Ypsilon941. There should've been a 5th season. The show was just getting awesome.
Well, this intro is better than the one they had (though I don't think it was too bad, just not quite right for a Trek show.)
But somehow Bakula saying that speech...
Er... I'm sorry, ot just doesn't come out right or something. Shatner and Nimoy and Stewart all do it very well, or course... Bakula seems either disinterested or maybe trying to force it... not very exploer-ish at all...
@anslem1701 continuing means that there are more and more enterprises, its not just talking about the enterprise in the season, its talking about them all
In a way you might think this. However since the ship named "Enterprise" isn't just a name only for space travel.
"Previously French vessel L'Enterprise before her capture in May of 1705. Served in the Mediterranean under command of J. Paul. May 19, 1707, her new captain takes command, W. Davenport, and she saw action off of Leghorn, (Livorno) Italy. She wrecked on October 12, 1707 off of Thornton."
"Enterprise" is a name of a legend of ships on itself. =P
Let's see... He was supposed to be a frendly explorer... maybe a more agressive person things would go wrong (except with the Telarites, they seem to like being insulted)...
That's still one more than the original Trek. It's amazing how a show that was only on for 3 seasons had such an impact, that they would make such a huge franchise.
This is the way it should have been from the beginning, great work and hell, why didn't they do it like this in the first place? This really gives the star trek feel =)! Well done!
i know uve noticed and that uve a remake (nice job on that one also) but seeing a Connor Trinneer is at the end of this vid, wouldnt it have clicked ;)
Beautifully done!!! As mentioned by other commenters, it also brought tears to my eyes. One more season for "Enterprise" would have allowed the events of the 22nd. and 23rd. centuries to have been more completely tied together. Very much a missed opportunity.
excellent job! I love the way it was made, and just hearing Scott Bakula give the introduction brings tears to my eyes. Star Trek ENTERPRISE is & still is my favorite show because there is alot to be learned from each episode
I love the way it was made...It actually brings tears to my eyes just hearing Scott Bakila give the intro, I LOVE IT VERY MUCH. Just wish they make a motion picture of it
There is a Few Models floating around on the interwebs that you could put together on Blender , which is a free 3d model kit , easy to use , the way you edited the clips made me think you actually render them :)
To the maker of this video, I must say I'm truly impressed with this video...its really nice especially you included three things in it the four sketches found in Archer's ready room appearing one by one, Archer's theme in the background& Scott Bakula reciting the lines...Excellent job Above & Beyond
Despite Enterprise's shortcomings, I still would have liked to see a fifth season.
This would have made a perfect opening.
The only thing you might have forgotten is that had the show continued "Jeffrey Combs" would have become a permanent member of Enterprise and therefore, most deservedly, been added to the Opening Credits.
muy bueno Nice job para mi enterprice es una de las mejores de star trek ya que muestra el comienzo de todo es una pena que solo tuviera 4 temporadas, tu intro esta muy buena para la 5ta.
Very well done! Would like Bakula's voice over better if he had said "Where No MAN Has Gone Before" instead of the "HUMAN" bit; but, that's just me. I always thought that this music should have been the opening theme in the first place!
Good video. I liked it a lot. The only thing I would suggest is that the ending few seconds be the traditional 'Warp-Out' that we've come to know as Trek.
