Star Trek - death, rebirth, death again.

It took almost nine months to make, though I did scrap a first draft when I switched from Premier Pro to Sony Vegas. I could have made a human being in that time. Special thanks to sarken who I forced to watch, cheerlead, and suggest Voyager clips where my knowledge ran dry. Couldn't have done it without her.

This video may seem like I'm deeply ambivalent about the new canon - I am not. Overall I appreciate the effort made by the Supreme Court of Bad Robot to ensure that the Trek I grew up with still 'happened' and matters. That said, I feel a deep sense of finality and regret about the movie: in redefining Star Trek to only be about the original crew, we're both saying goodbye to all the other characters and their journeys, and in some ways limiting the palette of what Star Trek can be about to the mass audience.

Here's to the journey, though! The Undiscovered Country! There really is no place I would have rather been, to watch it all burn away.

what an amazing vid! I love the mix of old and new - I am wondering if you will make it available for downloading again?

Every season I wonder what Louis Vuitton Handbags (http://www.louisvuittondamierspeedyhandbags.com) will create. I know I won’t like everything, but I can count on Louis Vuitton to make a few bags that are absolutely lust-worthy, it’s just what they do. When we shared a closer look at their Spring 2012 collection, I remember not being entirely impressed. Of course there was a theme – lightness and femininity paired with a whimsical touch – but as many have said, the bags look like they are made out of plastic (which they aren’t, just look at the price tags).
But nestled into this collection is a perfect summer piece, the Louis Vuitton Speedy (http://www.louisvuittondamierspeedyhandbags.com) North South bag. Nautical blue and cream calfskin leather offset one another in a take on the
Louis Vuitton Online Outlet (http://www.louisvuittondamierspeedyhandbags.com) house classic.

I am so in love with this vid! I don't know if I commented somewhere here when you originally posted, but seriously, every now and then I go back to it and I just get all the feels again!

I watch it on YouTube these days but I was wondering if you'd make the .avi available for download again - it seems the Sendspace link has expired. Either way, though, thank you so much for making this!
