Star Trek stop motion animation project

My brother created this project in 1978 when he was 18 years old . He built the model of the Star ship Enterprise bridge. He made all the clothes ect. for the dolls and spent tedious hours animating the characters. He dubbed in the audio after he copied the super 8 footage on to a beta tape The animation was done from his memory of the episode because VCRs were not invented when he did this project. My hope is that this gets the recognition it deserves. RIP John.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I have to admit, he did a great job on this project. Everything from the bridge to the outfits was pretty excellent. I can't wait to show my father this, as he is both a TOS ST fan and has been collecting some of the old G.I. Joes from his youth. :)

If I ever make my STAR TREK series with action figures the pilot episode will definitely be dedicated to your brother!

@becay223 This a amazing. I too shared Trek with my late brother, and I know how much this must mean to you. This is like a hidden gem here on YouTube, and I am SO glad to find it tonight. John was obviously gifted and did an incredible job. Thank you so much for sharing this. Russell
