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.

Oh, this is amazing. Just the wonderful mix of the new TOS crew with the old had me. But when the TNG, DS9 and Voyager crew come involved, that's when it both floored me and broke my heart. I've been looking for this vid since XI came out, one that beautifully reminds viewers of Picard, Sisko and Janeway and their crews and their adventures and how they fit in, because watching XI, I couldn't help but feel sad about their stories being effectively erased. I'm so glad you've made it.

Superb vid!

Belated response, I'm so sorry: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and that it worked for you the same way it worked for me.
