Marshall cited the main reason for filming two episodes back to back were the financial difficulty of bringing together a cast and crew from various parts of the globe. “We have people from Canada, England and both American coasts who come together on their own dime to participate in something very special. To lessen the burden, we thought filming two episodes at once would help a great dealâ€ÂÂ, Marshall was quoted as saying. “By waiting until September to film, we’re giving ourselves as much prep-time as we can use to get these two shows done just right.†Star Trek: New Voyages appeared on the internet in January 17th 2004 with a second installment being released October 8th 2004.

GeneralLee Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I'm glad this was posted... I downloaded the first two episodes some time, ago, and, for a shoe-string budget, found them quite good actually. Some of the special effects were decent, as I doubt they have much of budget at all. The acting may not have been the best, but hey, what ya expect for amatuers? I can make the shows available here if there is an interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymity Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Wow, these are all very nice! I sense a wave of new potential here. There's just one little thing though... if this sort of thing really takes off, then we might just experience another load of bullxxxx from "them" claiming things like infringement, profit losses, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beawulf Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I'm glad there are people out there having a crack it, and it's fantastic that more people are getting onboard to help. more power to them! yeah the acting was bad but I expected that...was kind of amusing at times. but mainly because they are trying to be characters that we know well. I wish they had attempted to do a new ship altogether...that way any shortfalling wouldnt be so blatantly obvious. graphics is great I am really impressed. The sound needs tweaking, especially the fact that people talking over the communicator sound the same as people in the room. I really doubt I could do any better at the acting, so I'll shut up and enjoy them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
