i don't think this is going to happen. they made ~2 million so far and continue to rake in about 3k a month. would you stop? free money! i bet you 69/420 quatloos that in 5 years time this will still go on. but i suppose they might downsize again. and probably again. i have a photo from the future as to what ares studios v 16.3 is going to look like in 2027. This time they thought about the electric grid (see bottom right)
sorry and thanks.
Well, bright side, we'd been wondering how Slow Lane was going to support his sensei.

On YouTube, Fan Film Factor's Jonathan Lane (top) and producer Alec Peters take aim at Axanar critics, find gold at the end of that rainbow.
If he ever makes Axanar, he becomes a nobody again. He'll never get another project off the ground with the level of hype Axanar had when they raised over $1.4 million and had an endorsement from George Takei, and he'll never have the notoriety he got from the subsequent lawsuit. He's gonna drag this out and beat that Axa-hype horse's ashes into the ground until nobody cares.I could take them years to raise $250,000 and make 2 15 minute short films? Really?
If he really put all of his effort into actually making the damn shorts, he could probably get them out in just a few months with the money he has now.
I have a suggestion of where he could stick his sets, but I doubt it would be physically possible for him to shove them up there.
Y’know, this statement now makes me wonder if he took out an insurance policy on the set and its equipment.
Sold and maybe repay some of the money.
Considering that people's money went into making that set, that would be unfortunate. Their donations would literally be going up in smoke (as opposed to figuratively right now). If the set were to change hands, at least there'd be a chance of an Axanar-like fan film being made, even if Alec isn't involved.
Don't be absurd! You can't use gasoline for that! You have to make it look like an electrical fire.
One thing AP always follow through on is never giving anything away for free. The set will rot before he gives it to anyone, especially Stage 9.
Not sure if Ray would pay money for it. It's probably in better shape than the Starbase Studios bridge set, though, so there's a chance. Depends on how much money AP would demand, and how desperate he is to offload it. He might agree to give it to Ray for a smaller amount or even for free if he can film on it for free.
Not everyone wants or needs to film on an exact replica of the Enterprise bridge. Some people would be fine with a non-canon, Federation-style bridge like the one for Axanar, especially if they're filming a fan film that has multiple ship classes. Plus you can redress the set to look like just about anything you want, like a freighter bridge or a reactor core.
It's not bad, and the art is very nice, but ah it seems to be missing something. A lot of something.
