Think to remember about the 27th century ships (Paladin, etc) is that they are going to be pretty small, since they share parts with the TOS ships. The Ent-J is by all accounts GIGANTIC, but these things will be around the same size as the current TOS Connie, as the Ranger's saucer is around the same size, the Gemini a little bigger, and the Perseus a little smaller.
Demorecord. It's a built-in utility for STO that can record runs and play them back with added camera angles and other options. He doesn't necessarily have those ships, merely access to Tribble and a modified Demorecord file to replace the recorded ship with some of the unreleased ones.
I sure got a lot of hate for that video. One thing about replacing skins, you have to have a demorecord file that has the ship with the skin you are looking for, at least with the tool I used for that video.
Allen is definitely great at making this videos. Part of the STO community felt that he should make their teaser videos, since he does such a great job at them. I would suggest that people who are not familiar with his work, to go and take a look at his previous videos.
The videos were done with Demorecord, but not in the manner that tom61sto presented.
The way that I was able to get these ships for filming was by working something out with the folks that handle media requests over at Cryptic. As e30ernest has stated, I have worked rather hard to make cinematic videos for the STO community, to give players a different view of things that have come out, like ships fleet holdings ect ect, and have earned myself a reputation of sorts.
Far to often I see players saying that they wish they could see more of the ship, as the one picture that is presented in the initial blog with the sale price isn't enough for them. In the spirit of community, and the fact that I love doing this work (which is pure hobby for me), I do these videos to help hype things up for everyone. I wouldn't say that this makes me "special" as someone put it earlier, but just someone who's worked really really hard to get where they're at now.
Please feel free to take a look through my other videos (there is a lot) I do ships, events, missions, fleet holdings and Season Trailers.
Cheers!
Very nice video. Congrats on getting media access, too! Cryptic has so rarely (never?) given pre-release access to share yet un-released ships, that it was easier to assume that you took the effort to hunt down the needed data to make the changes to show these ships.
I take it the T6 video is planned to come out after the T6 Stats blog, then?

I didn't even know there was automated tools to do that. I saw a tutorial on how to manually modify that file to replace ships, and based on that, I suppose that having another file with the ship in it would be easier than having a list of every ship in game that'd have to be updated each time new ships came out.

They are good at what they do. Free advertisement for the game.

What options does it have, though?
