Star Trek SOTL 2012 Calendar - "Reflections After Probert": From Cover to Cover

This is the behind-the-scenes story of how a virtually unknown CGI graphic artist (that's me) was given the chance of a lifetime when one of my images was chosen as the cover for the Star Trek Ships of the Line 2012 Calendar.

CAUTION: Be careful if you're listening with headphones. I did my best to balance the sound, but some FX still came out louder than the main voice and soundtracks.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Star Trek nor any of the visual, musical, or FX related material seen in this video, save for my own work. It was produced not-for-profit, purely for informational and entertainment purposes.

Craig, congrats on the cover! I really enjoyed the video.

@malicedownunder Thanks, Phillip! That means a lot coming from you. Much appreciated. I'm loving "Malice," by the way. Can't wait to see the next episode! Thanks again for taking the time to write. Great to hear from you!

I haven't bought a ships of the line calendar in quite a few years.. Now I may have to pick this one up.  Outstanding work!!

[buckaroohawk]

@AvengerBB1 Thank you! You won't be disappointed by the 2012 calendar. The interior artwork is amazing! Easily one of the best SOTL editions ever, and I'm not saying that just because of the cover. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

@Sukosu232 I know what you mean about the "Catch-22" when looking for work. Can't get a job unless you have experience. Can't get experience unless you have a job. Here's hoping you find something good soon. Thanks again for dropping me a line here!

@RngrThorne Thank you for the kind words!  They are much appreciated. I would LOVE to do a StarBird calendar, but without some kind of tie-in media (like if they re-released the toy or made a TV show or movie about it - all of which would be awesome!), I'm not sure it would get much notice. Still, I think it's a great idea. I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for leaving a comment!

[RngrThorne]

Only a matter of time until you got some recognition like that! Now if we could get a calender for the Star Bird. ;-)

@BurghMan67 Glad I could help solve your problem. If you can get a copy to me I'll happily sign it for Connie. I think she'd get a kick out of that!

[buckaroohawk]

@markous57 Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear you liked it.  Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Great job, Chip. You've solved my Christmas dilemma for Connie, or a small part there-of.
