Another attempt at Re-animation!

[danielshock]

A few months...weeks?...ago I revived an old thread against the rules to discuss a new attempt to re-animate the animated series. I liked the art style...but couldn't take some of the AI voices that were way off...here is a different attempt. I love it! Now, I have quibbles - but it's a good effort! The quibbles being that the characters are somewhat over animated and weirdly a good deal of the time. But, the quality...the style... the music! This guy is on the right track if not completely on the rails!

The ship scenes and the sets are perfect, and parts of the faces match, mostly around the eyes. The bodies move around too much though

That was horrible. The faces look bizarre, the character movements were strange, and the landscape paled in comparison to the beautiful expansion of it in "Yesteryear". TAS does not need new animation, certainly not the video-gamey work employed in the link.

TAS could do with new, better animation. This isn't it.

TAS could do with new, better animation. This isn't it.

Agreed. No.

Uncanny Valley much?

 

[Crewman Commander]

As I said in the other thread about this, it's terrible.

I wish I could get these 3:44 minutes of my life back.

 

[Tosk]

I applaud the attempt.

 

[Leo Walsh]

This is a really impressive effort and there's a great deal right with it.

But it falls short on every front and really isn't ready to be shown publicly. The creator does a lot of things well enough to get the project done, but with an inadequate sense of the aesthetic effect of the end result.

 

[V'Lias]

I never thought the art style of TAS needed to be updated. Sure, it could use some of the extra animations they cut to save money, but the style is fine.

Trek fans online can be cruel. I wouldn’t want to be the fan who did this, likely spending endless hours working on this out of nothing but love for the show, just for my fan art to be dismissed so readily and harshly by some. Aesthetically it’s not my cup of tea either, but at the very least this is a novel approach that I haven’t seen anyone do before (combining 3D rendered sets and characters with AI face replacement) and I got to watch it completely for free, so I wouldn’t even dream of judging this as I would an official production. I know the guy probably isn’t here, but still, sometimes I feel fans online act way too entitled, which is jarring when we’re basically just looking at someone’s damn hobby project. Heck, even the comments under the video on YouTube seem to be more kind generally.
