I don't think it is. They're just now getting the movie started. Plus, I could do those same special effects given an hour and a case of beer.

Exactly. What's supposed to be shaking, and why? Was the computer shaking while the FX guy was working? I call shenanigans.

^Yup. That's straight-up ZOIC-style shaky-cam CGI. It actually looks pretty cool--I liked the sense of solidity that the lighting provided to the ship, and the way the camera tracked it as if from a great distance, but this is total BS anyway. Like J. Allen said, there's no way the CGi is at this polished a stage by now. They'd be lucky to have a few rough animatics finished.
OT: J. Allen, who did your avatar? The artistic style looks naggingly familiar, but I can't think where I've seen it.

I don't buy it because the model looks way too crude. The lighting isn't very impressive, the surface texture is bad.. and the shot is done in a fashion that makes it seem like a jetfighter seen from a chase plane.
Possible? Sure... if it's a "quick test of concept" for the "new" Enterprise. But I don't believe it. Too many other things are being sold as "the real deal" and I honestly don't think ILM is so unprofessional as to let this sort of thing "slip."
When we see the real deal... it'll be done in a VERY PUBLIC fashion with a great deal of fanfare. They'd be STUPID to do anything else.

It's fake, but any chance to watch the Enterprise in motion is okay by me. 
Fake, but a fair try @ the ZOIC look for the Enterprise that Firefly/NuBSG uses. I wonder who's mesh was used, or if they rolled their own. The Enterprise is too far away to tell...

Much thanks to Senator Vreenak for his expert appraisal.
Why yes, yes it was.

That would be Dr. Comet.

I will, however, add that if this was an authentic VFX clip and not the fake that it so obviously is, I would have to wonder where the other $149,999,998.02 of Star Trek's budget was being spent.
Because if ever there was a $1.98 video of the Enterprise, that clip you posted would certainly qualify as one.
