Headline News for March, 2015

March 28, 2015.  Spooftacular Nos. 66.  In connection with exploring the older works of SpockBoy (see listing on March 26, 2015) I am drawing your attention to:
(1)  his short 3D animated film, Trektoons, Episode 1.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCZVBKJErwA (3:44).
(2)  his spoof, mixing a new insert with a recut, "Rinse of the Archons" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt7wCqAmiV4 (1:20)
(3)  "For Bill and George."  SpockBoy wants Shatner and Takai to stop fighting.  Here he enlists the First Federation to back him up.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1e9LeLKNlQ (3:29)
(4) "The Morphing Enterprise"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9vWARxP1pM (0:40)
(5) "Star Trek Torch" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FAynFz5SYw (3:00) Collection of shots signifying the passing of the torch to JJATrek, posted on March 17, 2009, before the release of his first movie.
Also posted on his You Tube page are numerous other very short videos (under 1 minute) and gag reels from Star Trek.  This is his You Tube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/SpockBoy/videos
 I am for the time being placing him under "Short Films Not Listed Elsewhere: http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/207.html at (F).


March 27, 2015.  New Release by Project Potemkin, (Adult Fans, Golden Age, Professional Actors, sets, costumes, CGI, location shoots), Season 3 Episode C (Film 23), "The Chair" View it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zyAJk2vE9U (6:15) or here: https://vimeo.com/123471720 (6:15).   For everything Project Potemkin has to offer, go to http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/31.html

March 26, 2015New Release from SpockBoy, Sepia Trek, Episode 1,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_m6qNgEfCs (4:42).  Mixes new special effects, browned footage, and silent movie style dialogue plates to create an interesting film.  I see that SpockBoy has a variety of other short Star Trek Fan films I have missed, so I am for the time being placing him under "Short Films Not Listed Elsewhere: http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/207.html at (F).

March 24, 2015New Release from The Pacific Opera Project, which is apparently under the mistaken impression they originated Star Trek Opera.  How wrong they are!  Nevertheless, here are a commercial for their work as well as the finale, the two parts of their Star Trek themed reworking of Mozart's "Abduction from the Seragilo" which I found posted online.  If anyone has links to more, please let me know!
Commercial:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkHecZOprJ4 (2:41)
Finale:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3URifovHj0 (8:51)

March 14, 2015Find 68, a few short films
TNG 999   https://vimeo.com/54849000  (6:12).  I'm not certain if this is just poorly done or intended to be a comedy.  At any rate, I classified it as "other short films."
TNG "Star Trek meets Sims 2" Music Video.  I don't usually include music videos, but decided to make an exception here.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZzB78h0itQ (4:56)
Star Trek -- Ressurection of the Enterprise  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3TkU0gC_7M (9:50) Mechinima.
Mechinima.  Short story.  Not well done, but I've seen worse.  Star Trek: Destruction of the USS Majestic.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p592CyhsE8g (5:16)
Star Trek: The Future Begins.  An introduction to the Kirk/Spock/McCoy etc. crew, using both sets of actors and morphing software.  Interesting.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCDl-PaUjw4&feature=related (3:49)

  4. thank you for your kind words. i would not be able to build my fan-film archive without your work. thanks to your site i have now collected more than 150GB of fan-film material totaling 142 hours in more than 340 episodes.

    considering that an average tv show season is about 14 hours, that means i have collected (and seen) 10 seasons worth of fan films, and i have not even seen everything that's on your site.

    so, yes, thank you for allowing me to find all that great material through your site!

    to another great year!

    greetings, eMBee.
