I couldn't think, of anywhere I would have rather been, to watch it all, burn away...

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 [personal profile] 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.

This is amazing. There really has been so much Trek with so much emotional resonance for so many people, and even as I absolutely adored coming full circle, the idea that this new Kirk lives in a world where these people will never be- at least not quite like that- that the only one to remember them and love them the way we do is... well, Spock Prime and us- wow. Nicely done.

The cut to the mind meld with Picard? PERFECTLY chosen. I really did not expect it.

Oh- and I don't know enough about vidding tech to know how you did it, but you made the very different production values/look-and-feels of the different shows/movies really *feel* like they belonged on a screen together, where in other vids the differences can seem jarring.
