You can even seen the TNG/DS9 Era label sticker on the back of the screen. Wow.Is that a DS9-era laptop? Wouldn't that be like a contemporary action film using the original Mac PowerBook?

Neophyte question; What's the difference? What does a "fully professional quality very large green screen" do that a simple green sheet or a wall painted green can't?
Dunno, but there must be some difference to justify these prices!

Maybe it produces a more even colour for better rotoscoping?
Damn skippy. For that money they should set themselves up and wash the oil off on their own.
I'm pretty sure Maurice can tell us when he comes back in. (Maybe I should ask in the Fanfilm Primer thread..)
The pro greenscreen is a specific shade of "chromakey green". It's probably seamless, or has seams which are basically invisible (the easiest screens to work with look smooth without seams, wrinkles or other imperfections). Sometimes the material is something that does not wrinkle easily. It is usually "low-reflectance" because you don't want it reflecting the colors of things in and around the set or bouncing green onto the items in the shot, And, as with much specialty gear, since it's not as mass produced as bedsheets the costs can't be amortized by the volume of sales, so it's always going to be pricy.
Thank you!
There's the answer. Give the man some pie!
Thanks for that.
I had no doubt that it was a specialized piece of equipment, but asking for donations to pay for it was ridiculous. Slow Lane should have manned up and made good. Expecting fans to pay for a random act of stupidity is exactly what's wrong with "big budget" fan films, and is what got AP sued in the first place. Lesson, not learned.
It's called "enabling".Thanks for that.

This topic is VERY large, I will not read the whole, alas. Please tell me - "Axanar" banned completely and irrevocably? Did they dare to do this?... Is stupid Discovery better than "Axanar", which one teaser seemed great... This is staunchly reminiscent of the situation with Star Wars and StarWarsTheory's fan-film...
Then you're missing some choice entertainment. There's comedy and drama and much much schadenfreude.
No, limited in scope and allowed if the producer behaves. The producer is just incapable of behaving.
Filming supposedly happened before the holiday. I'd believe nothing before there's a film on youtube.
Depends on who you ask. I for one think they're equally as stupid.
Unless the makers of those films were actively grifting their fandom, this is a different situation.
There. All caught up. Welcome to the thread.
Not about being better. It's about who is allowed to make money off of Star Trek IP. It's not Axanar.
If folks here want to enable or encourage trolls, have at it. Just seems a waste of time and space
But it's been too quiet around here lately. Entertaiment is entertainment.
The script for the aborted feature is available online. It's dreadful. this page-by-page critique is infinitely more entertaining.
Prelude had the cool gimmick of being an in-universe talking heads documentary. The originally planned 90-minute feature did not, it was a straight up space war film where everyone tells Garth he's amazing over and over. And although they've gone back to the documentary format for 2 15-minute minisodes, what they're making now has very few people in common with Prelude.
This years pie was the best!
I didn't get pie, but there was a bunch of quiche.
