Prelude to Axanar releases tomorrow.

Hi all,

Yeah, yeah, I know we have peeps who like either Axanar or ST: Renegades, And I fall into the camp, that I am waiting with baited breath for both.

Anways I wanted to give a heads up, that the 20 minute proof of concept film will be available tomorrow some time.

Now I've already seen it myself, thanks to a good friend in the biz, and i have to say, I was blown away.


spoilers below...












Spoilers start here...

The Klingons take out 5 planets all for their dilithium using D6's. The Feds are gettin creamed.

Admiral Candyman raises the spirits of the Federation, and working together, they create the Ares class.

It's the first memory I have of the word "*****" ever been associated with ST.

It's a race to bring the 1701 on line , with the Klingons getting the D7 going first.

A battle to end all battles at the Axanar system, which would allow the Klingons to be within striking distance of Vulcan, Andoria, Tellarite, and Earth.

Garth of Izar is the classic reluctant warrior trope.

end spoilers here.







All in all, it is very very good, even the special effects are above average. As soon as I get word that is released to the public, I'll share a link here for my fellow players. I know this may cause some debate, so I want to point out, that this post is with optimism, over us having more trek to choose from. Heck I even expect some continuity errors, but as I understand it, It does try and tie in the Old SFB games (Huge fan and still moderator of the SFC games myself) , and the Trek Cannon we all know and love.

That being said, When I post it tomorrow, I do hope that you all enjoy it as much as I did, even if it does strike up good debate, because hey, I love a good debate myself.

@F9thRet


Edit to add link, since the second trailer is different than the 20 minute one at Comic Con.

    Let me be clear, this is just a 20 minute proof of concept film. Not the full release. But yes, I will def. post a link as soon as it becomes public. I was really impressed with it, but then again, I'm easily impressed in my old age.

    I'm just glad your excited also, If one person is as excited as I am, then that makes my day.

    On an unrelated note, having nyxadrill's sig right before stomperx99's sig is rather amusing...

    As for the Axanar, I remain cautiously optimistic. It looks really cool, but none of the other fan Treks I've seen have really grabbed me.

    Battlestar Galactica allums in a prime timeline Star Trek? Of course I'm interested.

    And the trailers seemed pretty good.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    That's not the trailer, that's the THING.

    The 20 minute Prelude to Axanar.

    Thanks! :D


    EDIT: To be clear, the 'Prelude to Axanar' is of course actually a prelude to 'Axanar', the whole feature planned to be filmed. But 'Axanar' itself hasn't started filming yet. It should start filming depending on the reception of this 20 minute featurette.

    And it's exactly this 20 minute featurette that was supposed to be released today and that we were looking forward to.

    That Axanar cast picture of actress Kate Vernon as Capt. Alexander was bugging me, and I just realized why. With that hairstyle, she bears a more than passing resemblance to actress Barbara Bain who played Cinnamon Carter in the original Mission: Impossible and Dr. Helena Russell on Space: 1999.

    With rumors of a Space:2099 reboot, I wonder if anyone in the casting department would note the resemblance?

    Most of their promo material refer to Archanis as Arcanis which is a misspelling.

    Please bare in mind that the copy that will be release to Kickstarter is a revised version and thus will be slightly different than that copy. From the Facebook page:
    We're trying hard for tomorrow, but possibly Thursday. We're in the process of assembling an updated cut, with a few tweaked scenes, a brand new internet appropriate 2.0 sound mix, and updated credits so that everyone involved is properly acknowledged. Once that has been handed to me by post production then it'll be posted directly to the new Kickstarter page, and then other avenues as time moves forward. ~Terry
    The new mix is encoding now and once that's done then we'll be uploading the full film to the feature's Kickstarter page for ALL to enjoy! ETA five hours or so from this writing, barring any tech issues, like the upload aborting and needing to be restarted.

    Just bare this in mind while you're watching it.

    Yes, private, that's why f9thretxc posted a P(TRIBBLE)W(ord) in his initial post.

    I'll definitely rewatch when it's up. :D


    Suffice it to say, I want to fly a K't'inga in STO now. :D Cryptic, where's the Mirror K't'inga retrofit? Don't tell me I have to get the Fleet one or the 200k Flet credits one.

    actually, I initially got the same problem as alexmakepiece. Even copying/pasting didn't work. The problem was the pw was reported with a capital when there is none.

    a documentary type of event, theres a lot of face time for a few but nothing that would really show how good the team is when it comes to the film of axanar with crew interactions and such. quite a risk without that test. but you got veteran actors and the actress Kate Vernon on the list to be their own captains, that means at least 3 different bridge sets for Garth and Sonya and one for Kharn. i could see where the film would already be going and the team responsible for the actual battle would have to be careful with the construction of the 1701 they left to the end of the clip or who its original commander was supposed to be before pike.

    its a risk without that drama thats come standard in star trek, the human condition and its exploration in one of the previous battles. they missed an opportunity there in their 20 minute filming. the cgi looks good, a litttle too much lens flare though, tone down the torpedo firing and explosions a little, other then that it seems alright.

    SPOILER TALK


    Some questions raised by Prelude to Axanar:

    1. At 17:30 in the video, NCC-1701 is shown in construction in dry dock. Of the 14 official Constitution class ships, wouldn't Constitution have been the first? I don't recall the source, but I seem to remember hearing years ago that Enterprise was not one of the first created.

    2. I'm a tad confused by the film's expression of Federation politics at the time of Axanar.
    • The Klingons fight the Federation (which should mean everyone in the Fed has their backs to the wall)
    • Kharn mentions being unable to easily determine who is inside each ship, because (as the captains explain), at that time Fed species preferred to staff their ships with their own kind. (Which is consistent with the Vulcan-crewed USS Intrepid on TOS' The Immunity Syndrome.)
    • But there is also an expression of independent natures: the Vulcans only reluctantly contribute to the Ares class construction, and toy with the idea of pulling out. The humans seem to be the only serious target of the Klingons, and there are discussions that suggest the war is really a human-Klingon war. Capt. Travers notes the Andorians were eager to give "us" weapons for the Ares class. As if the humans and ship construction was separate from Andoria
    This doesn't sound like a Federation, a central government. It sounds like a Confederation where each state decides its own course of action, and is loosely affiliated with the others. The film shows that the fall of Axanar would pose a threat to the four main Fed species homeworlds, yet the species seem to act independent of each other?
