Where was this announced/mentioned?
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
He did the concept art for their bridge and other things...........
Ah, so it's a long running thing then.
I don't know how long the info has been out there but this video that popped up in my youtube recommended feed is where I found out.
You're assuming that the ultimate goal of that tutelage is the timely completion of what was funded/promised. It would normally be a reasonable assumption but that ship has sailed and sunk for both projects; I'm just hoping that backers get something for their donations in the end. If the goal is instead to keep collecting monthly patreon donations for years while shifting the goal posts further and further into the future, I can't think of a better mentor.
Pacific 201 has been shot and is just in post-production. I just hope it's not the kind of eternal post-production something like Axanar: Heroes "enjoys"
Meh---in November he posted he was about 50% done editing. He's turned of visitor posts on their Facebook page. It would only take a few minutes to do a weekly monthly update.......even if it is just to say real life and work is keeping him busy. Going MIA makes me want to lump him in with all the other never to been seen films. Hell he had time to live stream with Alec FFS.
From a Kickstarter post on June 15th, 2019:
So it sounds like they've got most if Pacific 201 shot and edited, but there are specific scenes that weren't on the main sets that haven't been filmed.
Even with this link to AP, seeing as we've seen a couple of vignettes from the Pacific crew, along with all the BTS videos about the ship designs, leaves me cautiously optimistic we WILL see this project come to fruition.
Yes, the lack of communication is frustratiing, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Another Interlude update on Fan Film Factor listing some of the problems encountered over last month and a half:

If the Axanar debacle has taught me anything, it's that nothing matters except for the finished product delivered to the backers. Pacific 201 exceeded it's 2015 kickstarter goal of $20k with $26k+, another $5k+ on indigogo so far, and some portion of the current $450+ per month that he has had for several years on patreon for the film (his youtube and patreon previously focused heavily on Pacific 201 but he's pretty much ignored it for a long while now about as long as he has been ignoring inquiries about the status). While it's no where near the duplicity and gall exhibited with the Axanar project, the fact that he's buddying up with the later is concerning to me given the other things going on. If communication and updates (other than a random screenshot of a scene every few months on facebook and zero updates on indigogo in four years) hadn't become so scant along with the years long delays, it'd be another story. If he comes out with it it'll be in 2020 at the earliest according to the video I linked and over 5 years late. That's still better than nothing but not particularly laudible IMO.

Does he expect us to pat his head and say "Poor Baby?"
Maybe he is hinting that the backers should now expect a documentary on "Murphy's Law" instead of a fan film?
I wonder how many more disasters will strike and force them to push things back or need more money?
And do they really need to go to people all the way in fucking Italy to get their costumes? I find it very, very hard to believe that there is nobody in the US that can make Starfleet Uniform costumes. I believe both the Kelvinverse movies, and Discovery were able to find American costume designers, weren't they?
I also can't help but wonder where Alec and Crystal were that it took 2 hours to get the dog help. I would think that somewhere in that time they would have been able to just grab it and throw in the car, or at least chase it away from the road.
No. Just give money.
Hey guys we wanted to make the movie but just didn’t work out. Sorry. No refunds.

There's a Johnny Cash song for every situation. Truth.
And by the way, WHERE'S THE MOVIE, SLAP?
