Ep 42 ComicPop…corn Movies with The Best Things Star Trek Fan Film Commentary

Vance Major contacted the Crew here and asked us to do a commentary on one of his Star Trek Fan Films.  Jonathon picked the film which is a two parter that is edited into one film.  The short film he chose was part of, what I call, “The Minard Chronicles” entitled The Best Things, directed and starring Vance Major.  So have fun with us as we provide commentary for The Best Things A Star Trek Fan Film.

The Constar Chronicles Promo Video

Constar animation at the beginning looks very nice. Introductions of the crew was an interesting concept (keeping them faceless until the wide shot). Capt Minard just looks pissed (going to have to find out who stole you’re pizza rolls). Don’t know if this is the direction you are going in but the statement about the Constar doing the jobs “no one else will” lends to Section 31. I like the concept of Section 31 having a starship attached to them. Could lead to some interesting stories. Warp speed ahead Mate you got my interest.  Check out Vance Major’s Promo for the Star Trek Fan Film “The Constar Chronicles” through his No Budget Productions YouTube channel – Richard:

Star Trek Discovery Trailer

For all our Star Trek fans and science fiction fans in general here’s the latest trailer for Star Trek Discovery.  CBS All Access falls in the same category as the Netflix series that Marvel has on that platform.  We, as a family, have chosen not to do the multi-platforms and just hope they shows will eventually hit Blu-ray/DVD.  But for all of you that get to watch it when it hits have fun.  Thanks to the Star Trek YouTube channel for the following trailer:

“Stormfront” a Star Trek Fan Film Production

If you remember the last part of 2016 and into the first part of 2017 we have been posting “Visits” with the cast and crew of the Melbourne Star Trek Fan Film Production.  The first part of their story is available now on ShadowStorm Studios YouTube channel and it has been officially named Stormfront a Star Trek Fan Film Production.  This was a labor of love that our friends Vance Major and Jeremy Minard have been planning and working on for the past couple of years and they finally get to see their “child”, the U.S.S. Melbourne, off to the big wide World.  Part of the fun for ComicPop Library was doing the “Visits” with everyone, but Vance and Jeremy had a surprise for us.  They allowed the ComicPop Crew to have a cameo scene in the production.  We are the crew of the U.S.S. Carson.  Logan is the security officer that gets shot, Jonathon is the communications officer that gets stabbed, and I (Richard) am the Captain of the Ship – Captain Stapleton.  Who would have known it would be so much fun to die.  We had a great time during the shoot and visiting with everyone and the camaraderie that everyone shared.  Without further a due here is Stormfront a Star Trek Fan Film Production through ShadowStorm Studios, have fun – Richard:

Starbase Studios Time-Lapse Bridge Build

As most of our friends know Starbase Studios has recently relocated.  They are no longer in Oklahoma, but in Arkansas.  Over the holidays they moved the sets and have begun re-building them at their new home.  When the time comes and they are ready to schedule new fan film productions we will post to let everyone know.  Until then the group of The Federation Files YouTube channel has released a time-lapse video of them reconstructing the bridge.  Check it out these are two hard working gentlemen and I’m sure the productions of Valiant, Melbourne, Republic, and many others Star Trek fan film productions are glad to see the new studio taking shape:
