Fedcon 2009 Opening Animation

This is the opening movie for the FedCon 2009 Science Fiction convention. Since the convention was held one week before the official opening of the new Star Trek movie, I thought it would be a good idea to show off the two most prominent ships of the new movie - the Kelvin and the Enterprise. Since these two ships would have never been able to meet, this is just a "what if" variation. Because, as you know - in SciFi, anything is possible. All elements of the movie, except the music, are done by Tobias Richter of The Light Works. www.thelightworks.com

Am I the only one to notice that the Enterprise didn't use its phasers? And why dose the Kelvin have such a large blind spot? Design errors aside, not a bad bit of work.

@aeromaxout - No, you are not the first one. The E doesn´t use its phasers because this was done way before the movie was out and I did not know how the phasers would look, so I choose to not show them.

The weapons of the Kelvin are controlled by a rig in Maya that fires particles (which are actually geometry in the shape of a shot) automatically.

As you´ve mentioned, the model for the Kelvin is available, but at the moment I do not have plans to release the Enterprise as well.

Kirk hails the USS Kelvin. Kirk's Dad appears onscreen. Another alternate universe is formed as an alterantive to the alternative univarse that JJ Abrams made.
