[altogether now!] Happy Birthday to you! Happy Bi>BANG< aaarrrghhh! [LEFT]Seriously, Barb, congratulations on what you have achieved and thanks for bringing to light all the new material that otherwise would have laid dormant. ghIj qet jaghmeyjaj May your enemies run with fear Kirok of L'Stok [/LEFT]
If you'd like to add it... I would feel honored: http://www.st-afu.com In development since late 2007. Half finished. I hope to release a first trailer this fall.
Good to see you are still trucking along. How are things in the city that never sleeps? Oh, btw, since you mentioned people linking from our sites to yours, you are listed here: http://guardian-force.comli.com/links.htm Although I will admit I have one of the older banners. I'll get around to updating that eventually, right after.... *looks through the 1-million and 1 procrastination excuse book*
Thank you! I'm afraid this is the first time I've checked this in months... so I just found out about your kind link!
I want to alert folk that there are quite a few new fan films I'm expecting to come out this summer. You can track the release of complete, finalized, ready-to-watch fan films here: http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2011/06/headline-news-last-month-only.html, and partial releases on their individual pages at Star Trek Reviewed. Here is my Second Annual Mission Essay: Two years ago, on June 26, 2009, I began to lay out this website (Star Trek Reviewed, vis: http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/. The primary task was to create a single location which indexed as many Star Trek Fan Films and Star Trek Audio Shows as I could find, and to provide some reviews of these, and of Pro Trek. At two years, I can state that Star Trek Reviewed’s Indexing is now largely complete, and that part of the website is just a matter of upkeep. Comedies and Parodies which have significant output have their own webpages. Also, there is now a webpage which lists Audio productions in alphabetical order. I continue to contact film makers and track releases so that others can choose to just come to Star Trek Reviewed’s Headline News to find out what completed films have become available, or to check each webpage for partial releases. Why should 1000 people do this when it can be done by one, who saves thousands of hours for fellow Trekkers? (Headlines more than one month old are at the linked website Monthly Headlines From Star Trek Reviewed ). The bad news is that I have almost entirely given up on keeping up with Go!Animate. Films move around, filmmakers change their names. That part of the website is not current. A new product, Fem Tretz also is offering a standard sets of characters for would-be animators, although these are original creations, in a somewhat altered, and updated, (more Asian) Trek Universe. But finding fan films is never really complete! Just this month I found two older fan film makers I had missed. One is quite old, dating to the 1970s, the other, in black and white, of unknown age. I also added a new lego fan film, a parody short (Cockney Star Trek), a Professional Canadian comedy (Wayne & Shuster’s “Star Schtick”) and a Video Picture Book (Star Trek: Angels of Acheron) in the Trek Games, Fiction, Comic and Prose section (I do add the video picture books I find since I know of no other listing, while the other types of Fan Trek have their own indexing websites). And, of course, I go through most of my active listings every few months to see if anything new has come out that I missed. In addition, there is now a new section for the Catalan language (11.5 million native speakers). Let me again hold up the single Brazilian gentleman, Ulisses Galazzo, who has provided subtitles to many of the best Star Trek Fan Films in Portuguese. There are an estimated 178 native speakers (another source says 191 million) of Portuguese, and my page which provides Portuguese Trek is among the ten most visited pages every month. Sadly, I cannot offer a section for Trek to native speakers of Chinese (Mandarin alone was estimated to have 845 million speakers in 2000, by another estimate as many as 1.3 billion speakers), Hindi-Urdu (240 million or 497 million), Arabic (232 Million or 246 million), Bengali (181 million or 211 million), or many other widely spoken tongues (Malay-Indonesian 159 speakers, Russian, 144 million or 277 million, Japanese 122 million, Punjabi 109 million, ...). I urge readers for whom English is a second language who speak these tongues to follow in the footsteps of fellow Trekkers and create subtitles in their native tongue. If there are already fan films in your language, consider adding more to them by creating subtitles for films not yet subtitled. I have put off adding to reviews until I again have time for that. I continue to link to reviews done by others. For a long time, Randy Hall was regularly reviewing at Sci Fi Pulse, but he has been taken from that task by other commitments. Things remain on my “Stuff That has been Found but not Sorted” page. I suspect most of it is games, music videos, or abandon incomplete parts of films. Many interesting film and audio projects are in the pipeline. It is impossible to know what will happen until a film is released. Certainly, when Star Trek Reviewed was started two years ago, I would not have anticipated that Yorktown II, a film shot in the early 1980s with George Takei, and abandon for over two decades, would ever be completed. Now, I hope to see it next year. Nor would I have guessed at the variety and creativity I would enjoy from Trek fans. Aurora, which offers 3D animation of a small private trading spacecraft, is one of the more original and praised projects which I hope to see complete it’s first episode this year. I’ve also learned to love Star Track. If SNL did Galaxy Quest regularly as a skit, it might look a lot like Star Track. Several animations sets in the Original Time Line after the destruction of Romulous are in the works. Other films that were steaming along two years ago now seem unlikely to be completed in the foreseeable future. But, as if Yorktown II can rise from the dead, I would hesitate to count any Star Trek Fan Film out for the duration. Then, there are films which are done... sort of... and the question is, When the Headline? "Star Trek Specter" is a great, completed animation, with high quality animation, but some of the females are still voiced by the male animator. He has stated he's done with it, but I have not given it a headline in hope that this great work will be given better audio in the future. Finally, 1) I urge film makers and audio drama producers to contact me when they are releasing films, or if they have released films I have missed. Partial film releases are noted on your dedicated webpage or, if you have not released a film over 10 minutes in length which tells a full story, your dedicated paragraph. Let me announce your work, so that those who turn to Star Trek Reviewed to help them find fan films and fan audio shows can enjoy it. 2) I urge film viewers and audio listeners to express themselves by making comments here, or Fan work reviews at your own blog which you tell me you have written. Keep it clean, cogent, and respectful, and I will link to it! The advantage of your own blog is that you can review and revise your comment. And I close with the motto of Star Trek Reviewed. If you know of any Star Trek Fan Film (or Films! Or audio shows!) which I have missed, (Porn is not a fan film, music videos, video picture books, and fan commentaries or just clowning by fans are not fan films) please let me know. I assure you I didn’t intend to leave it, or them, out! If you find Star Trek Reviewed useful, help others. Give it a link from your website, blog, Facebook or other webpage.
I am reorganizing the website because I am out of space. for more on this, look at this thread: http://trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=153859
