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:

“Crying Wolf” A Star Trek Fan Film Production

Vance Major has been a busy person this last year with all the fan films he has been creating.  In his latest release entitled Crying Wolf, Vance utilizes the guidelines set forth by CBS to create a solo experience with Captain Minard. Minard must take in a betrayal and the consequences that it has lead to with the U.S.S. Constar.  A very nice piece of introspective work and one can only wonder – where will everything go from here?  Check it out below and be sure to check out his other fan films on his YouTube channel:

Resistance: A Star Trek Fan Production

Vance Major has been having some fun with short Star Trek Fan Productions.  In Resistance: A Star Trek Fan Production, we have a crew that pulls out an old Constitution Class Starship out of mothballs, the U.S.S. Constar, to escape the Wolf 359 incident.  It is a nice short and it leads to a progression between Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation Series, with the continuation of characters in other Star Trek Fan Productions, with Captain Erick Minard, being a descendant of Engineer Erick Minard or he really ages well.  The short is only a few minutes long so you can take a bit of time out of your day and enjoy Resistance: A Star Trek Fan Production through Vance Major’s YouTube channel filmed at Starbase Studios:

“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:
