Yup
CBS Fan Film Academy Announced
- Thread starter KennyB
- Start date
God, I really hope CBS stole Alec's idea...
Yes and Alec and RMB and slow lane are making sure people know about that and are accusing cawley of stealing their idea.
I just posted a reply to the Triple F Blog (F for Fail):
"So now will Precious Pants sue Mr. Cawley and CBS for stealing "his" idea? I just can't stop laughing."
I'm sure it won't make it past moderation.
I was just laughing at Lane's "everyone was coming to me for answers" bit. Why? This has nothing to do with you.I just posted a reply to the Triple F Blog (F for Fail):

Well, he is the "official news outlet" for Lord Alex, His Most Precious.
Still the question remains about the fate of the remaining "New Voyages/Phase 2" episodes, doesn't it?
...and James looked cool as always with his Elvis look
Pretty sure new voyages is done
As for anything related to New Voyages/Phase II, that is done. Nothing more will come from it.
Did I understand James right - each session will be divided into two groups of people making a short film each?
I think we will see the NV set but not NV. As stated before I think they are done. The remaining stuff they have most likely will not be released.
I think that ship has sailed.......
Note that James Cawley is not calling these films "fan films". They're vignettes that have a pre-written script. He compared it to the Star Trek Adventure attraction they used to have at Universal Studios, where people could participate in creating a Star Trek short film, delivering pre-scripted lines, and would get a VHS tape of the result afterwards. (Although what James wants to do sounds a lot cooler.) So it's tots-legal to distribute on YouTube and such, but it's not a fan film as one would usually think of it.
That's not to say that this wouldn't be a cool experience. Depending on the price, it might be totally worth it. But it's not a way to create CBS-sanction fan films, unfortunately.

James's interview was very informative. I am not surprised he compared it to the old Star Trek Adventure at Universal Studios. As I mentioned earlier I was a Klingon at only 14. One of the few times being tall for my age and overweight was an advantage. That is probably why I was one of the few chosen among the large group of people who raised hands to volunteer before the show.
Considering that and the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas are gone, this will be the only Star Trek tourist attraction in the United States. That is probably the best way to look at this. The films are a souvenir of learning to make Star Trek. Obviously anyone can use what they learn there to make their own films. Whether on Star Trek or other subjects.

Right, this is a good opportunity for people who want to improve their general knowledge of film production. Might even do it myself, if I can find the cash. Sounds like fun.
When James talks about offering "packages", I hope he means Travel Packages. Meaning working out deals with local hotels, etc. Maybe even a shuttle bus to take people back and forth between the studio and their hotel. That would be an option to purchase along with the fee for the Academy itself
