Commanders of Starfleet: Trek in the 40s

Hey everyone, wanted to share a fan film I made recently.

Inspired by classic serials like 'Flash Gordon' and 'Buck Rogers' the film serves as a prequel to both TOS and TOS production history, following two Starfleet officers during the Earth-Romulan War. Hope you enjoy!

 

Super campy. I loved it.

 

Ha. That was fun. Congrats.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great costume and spaceship design, especially the Romulan ship. I loved them dressing the Romulan as a medieval knight - very realistic costuming for a serial from the period.

 

The Romulan ship kitbash was pretty good.

 

Very enjoyable. I hope there's more to come. Even if not, very well done indeed.

 

That was fun and different! I always wondered what Trek would be like as a 1940s serial!

 

More please!

Would have loved if they had used UESPA instead of Starfleet.

 

added to watch later

 

that was fun, great job!

Did you film this at Vasquez Rocks?

 

It was actually shot about 50 miles east of Vasquez. Lots of great rock formations out that way.

 

Looking forward to watching this. I like the idea of a trek/serials mashup.

edit: Nicely done. I especially liked the opening crawl and art design. Are you a fan of the Buster Crabbe serials?

 

Nice, heading out to Anaheim in the fall for work, maybe I'll add that to the trip in my off time!

 

I am! It felt like if you're going to do something that feels like it really came before TOS, Buster Crabbe type serials would be the way to go.

 

That was fun. Looking forward to the next installment.

 

Agreed. I just discovered them last year and was impressed (obviously for the time). Are you planning the next chapter?

 

Good work. Loved it.

The (presumably) Klingon ship at the end was better.

 

It's kludgier.
