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.

Wow. I used to catch episodes of ST here and there when I got home from school, and this was a wonderful glimpse back. Very well-edited. Thank you for sharing ♥

:) I'm very happy it worked for you, even as a casual fan of the old shows.

Just wanted to let you know I've been back to re-watch several times since yesterday. It doesn't quite let go. Wish I were vid-savvy so I could shower you with the praise this really deserves ♥

This is a hell of a compliment. Thanks again.
