"Ghost Ship" A Star Trek Fan Production Segment 1
Вставка

- Commander Derek Mason has had a long career of boring assignments, but that all changes when he is ordered to take a small away team to salvage a dead Starship.
As per Star Trek fan film Guidelines, our film is separated into two segments.
“Star Trek and all related marks, logos and characters are solely owned by CBS Studios Inc.

Thank you to all of you have supported our film! We are so grateful for the response and 120 thousand + views! We do intend to make more fan films that take place in our "Avalon Universe" continuity. Please stay tuned for our upcoming Crowd Funding Campaign for those films!
the short movie does look great allready after the first 1:30 minutes.
Great effort but the woman that plays Archer, why is she acting like that, she ruins the credibility. It's so unprofessional, so much NOT like an officer, she might as well be chewing gum and painting her nails. She belongs in a night club or playing a Valley girl, not playing a character on "Star Trek".
BTW, there's a typo at 7:03. Warp Field: Inacctive.
I assume this is a divergent timeline rather than a distinct parallel universe. If so, what was the divergence point? Oh yes, Subscribed.
Charles Roberts Good observation yes you're right protocol and decorum is very important but kinda have to give them a pass on this ", unprofessionalism in the sense because this is a fan appreciation short film so no one's truly perfect.
The Captain playing Pong on the shuttle's scanner was a hoot.
well pong was the thing back then to play when the star trek came on
I know right! I did a double take and then just chuckled!
@@nevaehlumiere8019 “That man is playing pong! Thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did”
Just want to say that I love Commander Mason. His dry, sometimes out-of-place humour makes the whole production very tongue-in-cheek, and it makes for a very enjoyable watch!
CGI, sets, props, clothes, and production values are really high quality.
Great job!
He reminds me of the Captain of the Excalibur!
I can't help but agree, : )
Another "fan production" easily as good as some of the pros. I love the premise: building on an event from TOS and running with it. The Trek universe is a big one, and polished stories like this show that depth. Sets and effects are virtually flawless, acting a little uneven, but not enough to distract from the flow. Very well done.
It is comforting to know that Pong is still popular centuries into the future.
It's mind blowing to see the future of the 60's recreated in the 201x's...
I love the ridiculous out-of-place dry humor! Amazing sets. Could Captain Mason look any more like Michael J. Fox???
DoppleGamer X, Ha! Glad you enjoyed it! I’m actually a professional MJF impersonator.
Uncanny resemblance. Make a BTTF mashup....
Hmmmm producer Victoria fox
@@tydunivancool
I believe he does MJF impersonations as well.
"Yeah, but you're smarter than 1,198 (of 1,200) of them. And that other guy was just ... weird."
Annnnnd ... 'liked'
Tthe more I see, the more I likey ..
I get it
@4:06
Wow. This is good. This is REALLY good. Feels just like a classic episode - interesting plot, good writing, good acting!! As a TOS devotee I heartily approve. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
I was at the premier of this film. This is my favorite Star Trek Fan Production I have seen in quite a while. It was produced on my home sets (which I am so glad are once again in good, community-oriented hands), now called Stage 9 Studios. It involves the work of my friends Samuel Cockings and Vance Major. And, it has an element of TOS that I have always enjoyed throughout my life - it makes me laugh. There are so many great cultural references. The production team did an excellent job of making a visually pleasing film, without taking themselves too seriously. I am not a stickler for canon as much as I am for entertainment value - and this film delivers. And, a quick side note, we learned at the premier that the actor playing Commander Mason does an amazing Marty McFly.
Star Trek Channel, Ha! I’m glad you liked my McFly! I’m actually a professional Michael J. Fox lookalike-impersonator.
I’m so glad you enjoyed Ghost Ship and that you got to be among the first public audience to see it. Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for watching!
i am with you it is fantastic more please
Yes, the M. J. Fox resemblance is unmistakable.
@doctorwho0077 why don't you shut and enjoy it FOOL,!!!
I'm am pleasantly surprised of how well put together these two episodes were. Whomever the redhead is, she's absolutely gorgeous!
I believe that would be the producer.
Congrats on loving attention to Classic Trek detail! Loved the somersault-phaser-shot "Kirk" move! But why is his shirt still on??
Yeah, why didn't the zombie rip the shirt?!
Excellent ha ha comment!!!!!
How is their so much production value, and so little writing and acting value on all these fan made things. but yeah, still better than discovery.
Star Trek Continues has great writing tho.
and the newer sereys strange new worlds
Because it's relatively easy to rent out one of the existing TOS sets, but writing and acting skills is a little harder to buy.
I noticed that I’m not used to stories like this in Star Trek and it takes a while to get into it. Once I did it’s pretty darn good. The acting is a little off but works good once I adjusted. I can see your viewpoint but I’m having a great time watching these. There are some pretty bad films from other companies that are almost impossible to watch. These are much more impressive :)
When your show is being made by volunteers who are doing it out of love, on their personal time, probably for free or nearly free, you are going to get what you get. Personally, I think that they do a pretty damn good job all things considered
Excellent Startrek. THIS is what we love about TOS. Really love that it is new characters and other ships. Can't wait for more. Bravo!!!
Phasers so make a zombie apocalypse obsolete.
yeah they sure do🥰🥰
It is awesome meeting new characters in the Star Trek universe. Thanks for sharing this.
Brilliant! Always wondered about the aftermath and cleanup crew when Daystrom & M5 had their nervous breakdowns. Reminds me of an old "Motion Picture" era Trek comic book where the zombified ghosts of the USS Constellation crew haunt Capt. Will Decker for his dad's errors.
It smelled like 367 dead bodies & voided bowels.
I remember that comic! What sparked the nightmares? A Klingon mindsifter?
Wow. An alternate-universe Star Trek where the director was Ed Wood.
EXCELLENT!.. I was WOW'ed by this production! The pace, story, and the shots were simply awesome!
Gary Davis Thank you so much! It means a lot!
The Pong game in the shuttle craft was a very nice touch...lol!
The cinemaphotography, angles, filming, and pace are perfect! Thank You for doing this.
Thank you for that! I really do appreciate it!
Great job. Loved the story and pong in the 24th century is too much. Can’t wait for the next installment. Hope it is soon
Damn... just imagine if CBS put such good effort in to Star Trek as fans do. Nice work!
EXACTLY
that goes for star wars as well. it might be even worse when comes to star wars.
i think this film does even better work than sometimes rodenberry did.
indeed only then the anging franchise would look a lot better than it does now. Hell if they had the balls to start working with fan content such as accepting fan made ship designs in future trek movies for ship roles such as that of carrying the name Enterprise then things would be better but no CBS is nothing but a corrupt greedy bunch of sons of bitches like their elitist Hollywood counterparts.
Star Wars sucks compared to Star Trek, captain Kirk,s a lot cooler than Han freakin, Solo.That,s my story & I,m sticking to it, lol.
All I can do is shake my head. Good job for cast, producers, and those who provided the funds and ways and means.
Very good, humor, action and mystery all in one. I wondered what happened to the Excalibur after M5 shot it up. I hope there will be more such films like this. Far better than what is put on TV now and at the Movies. Well done Avalon Universe, well done.
More like Commander Michael J. Fox
haha right :)
We think alike. My first thought was it's older Marty McFly!
Same here!
extraplain ...Lmao!
Heavy
I love this, great characters, lovely effects, a good script and for once, in a fan film, good acting. Cracking stuff.
I was unsure but this is brilliant, I love all the small jokes and their attitudes.
I like this Commander, he has just enough of a attitude that he takes most everything with a grain of salt and understands the BS factor. Looks to be a good series if CBS keeps their hands off it.
Summer Rose Sutton That kind of bugged me though. His subordinates mock him to his face and are openly insubordinate. He comes across as a fairly incompetent officer as a result.
*Summer Rose Sutton*
There won't be a series. CBS's rules say no more than 30 minutes at most, and no sequels. (Two parters are allowed, so long as you don't go over 30 minutes total.)
Anyone who violates that will be subject to a lawsuit, and likely the rules would then be modified again...likely as in "No fan films at all".
The eyes suck.
@@josephinhiding3595
What in the world are you talking about?
@michael reynolds
That's one way of describing it.
I'm simply stating what the facts are...the facts about a situation CBS created, but really could be viewed as necessary, due to what...someone...did.
Bravo to Commander Derek Mason’s performance!
My opinion may not be that popular since many comments seem to come from people who know the production staff. However I think the graphics excellent and the production value overall is very well done. I thought the mix of so many uniforms confusing though. It's like watching Generations where the crew seemed to just wear whatever the hell they wanted. My biggest critique however is the sub-par acting from the engineer. I realize Trek almost demands a level or techno-babble but it sounds as if she's just saying words and doesn't believe in what she's saying.
cuttersboi08 With regards to the uniforms. This takes place in a bizarre Alternate Universe.
Avalon Universe as a long time TOS fan, I was wondering where/when the prime TOS universe and this universe split, or will it be revealed at a later date?
cuttersboi08 even the ST:Generations Playmates figures had the concept uniforms, not the ones in the film, and uniform continuity took a hit in that film for sure.
Acting was better than I could bring to the table, that being said... I noticed on more than one occasion she struggled with her lines. Still an enjoyable watch and looking very forward to the next installment.
@@SciFiFan2012 They were never really split, more simply "Parallel"
Decent acting, special effects are really good, the idea of the story is great. This is orders of magnitude better than Discovery and Picard. Thumbs up for a great Star Trek fan production. 👍
Everything Trek out there is better than Discovery.
I absolutely love the way this looks origonal
"I take it back, you still have no idea how to talk to women."
"Yeah, I know."
I love the humor.....
Absolutely fantastic, never thought I'd see the day zombies would fit in the Star Trek Universe but you folks pulled it off with a beautifully well done story, would love to see USS Excalibur NCC-1705 continue as a Fan Series, well done job all involved, Vance Major Owen and Leslie great jobs as well my friends
Rick Cole Thank you so much! We are very grateful to have you as a fan!
Avalon Universe This is fantastic! You and your entire team have done what an “official” series can’t- you’ve captured the spirit of TOS beautifully!
Edit: my bucket list now lists “be in a great TOS fan project”.
You didn't see that enterprise episode with the zombie Vulcans? ::shivers but not in a good way::
Forgot, Impulse, great episode, strange, I have seen Zombies in space but still, Ghost Ship is Cool Great
The zombie didn't make it
It sure brings a heavy heart to see what the damage was on the other end of the Enterprise's phasers. The Original Series was really brutal in terms of casualties.
It did it showed us what Kirk and his crew was going through watching their fellow comrades dying the consequences of what the M5 was doing to the other ships .
love the office chair on the shuttle craft........LOL!
WELL WELL WELL finally, a fan made film that both looks good and has agreeable dialogue, good even. me likey.
Wow. That was absolutly brilliant!
Commander Mason is a great blend of humor and sarcasm....very watchable and hopefully we can see some future episodes.
So refreshing to encounter a senior Starfleet officer who doesn't take himself too seriously,but still gets the job done! I love the line,"It's a pleasure to meet you!" "I'm sure it is!" How I would love to hear a woman say that to me. It would make my day,laughing about it for hours.
Very well done fan film. Great tie ins and storyline.
Crazy Galvatron Thank you!
Poor Excalibur, always getting the shit kicked out of her! Great vid!
This video is golden. They are on a 23rd century shuttle and they are playing pong. One of the very first video games to come out. LOL
When I first tuned in, I was like is this Captain Michael J Fox?
Excellent. Really drawn in by the opening shot. Off to watch the next segment.
very good indeed , helped me remember why i love classic trek
I am so impressed with this fan-made production. Wish you guys the best and please give us more episodes...
Thank you so much for your praise & well wishes! Hope you subscribe to Avalon Universe and keep sharing our adventures. Cheers! 😊
Good stuff. I'd happily watch a lot of this. I've just found it four years late.
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it. The good news is that we're still making Star Trek Fan Films. Just subscribe to our channel to keep up with new content.
I really enjoy watching these episodes keep up the good work crew
jeolei dupalmonte Thanks! And thank you for watching!!
Enjoyed this. The production team did a great job keeping the TOS vibe. Look forward to seeing the next Segment
JC20101 Thank you so much! And segment 2 is now posted on this channel.
yes they must make more episodes.
the guy is Hopeless (as a script, character, possibly acting), the girls just fine, the makeup needs some powder, the production is great. GREAT to see Trekkies out there, along with the hopeless guy.
damnyourpasswords Seriously, watching his LT’s walk all over him and openly ridicule him (their commanding officer) while on a mission makes him look like an absolutely terrible officer.
These two films are just awesome, very well done! Very talented cast and crew!
This is one of the best fan productions I have seen, using the full-scale "Star Trek Continues" sets, and I am not just saying this because the space ship and other action CG shots provided by non other than my own son, Samuel Cockings. Its a great action romp, with quite a good dose of black humour thrown in, ideally timed for a Halloween release :) Quite possibly the best fan production since "Star Trek Continues."
Legatvs1 Thank you! Samuel is a creative genius, and we were very fortunate to have him as a part of our project!
crap
@@robertwilson9805 justify what you say...if you don't like it don't watch it,very simple eh...
We have to remember that the CBS president really don't care for Syfy so doing discovery totally different than what they should have is partly possibly to destroy Star trek in my opinion
This is a really excellent fan film. Great production values, acting and story. Congrats to all! Looking forward to Part 2!
GeorgeKayaian Thank you! Part 2 is now posted on our channel
Really enjoyed it! Thank you all!!! And, as Segment 2 started it hit me, Tyler looks just like Michael J. Fox! Uncanny!
Ikura Prime, Thanks for watching! I’m actually a MJF impersonator.
Flips open the comm and says, "yullo"... Gotta love the attitude.
Great work. Star Trek meets The Walking Dead. 👍
No respect for the dead in the Star Trek universe. At least the Army has Graves & Registration that deals with the dead bodies. Not just leave them on a abandoned ship in space.
Excellent work. Very high quality.
i like the undiscovered country star fleet desk lamps lol this is a good one for Halloween
It's very refreshing to see a well produced fan made Star Trek film again!! I didn't know if I would ever see another good fan film after the New rules came out. Kudos and great work to all that worked on this project. Even though I have not seen the second segment yet, I already know it was with just as much love and passion as the first segment!! 😎
Joseph Kent Thank you!
You think you could give the guy a shirt maybe one or two sizes down.
they spent that money on go-go boots.
This is amazing! Thank you for this. I did feel that the acting from Commodore Osten was not one the same high level as the rest. But overall i'm very impressed . :)
Very well done. I'm one of those that feels like commercial Trek died when Enterprise went off the air. The fan films seem to be the only ones who respect Star Trek. This is the heart of where modern Star Trek Lives.
Very awesome ...Such FUN! .....and best hand phaser effects and use ever
nice project. an enjoyable watch.
I cringed at the character's decision of "lets not make a safe shuttle landing, but rely on the transporter of a damaged ship that has dodgy power". lol.
They Could not use the shuttle and EVA is dodgy anyway , so a judgement call nothing worse.
Evil Ash It also seems unlikely that a commander would allow his lieutenant (especially the one he isn’t friends with) to be so openly insubordinate.
Yes I agree about the use of the transporter because I was thinking if something happens to the transporter how are you going to get back in the shuttle? I kept thinking why aren't you using the docking bay? The storyline could've remained the same pretty much.
I would like to see a Star Trek : The Next Generation fan film . It would not have to be set on Enterprise -D . Just in the next generation time frame .
No matter how shot full of holes, and no matter how many ship systems are destroyed, the artificial gravity always works. Hell, you could have a totally wrecked ship drifting for several centuries, and guess what will still be working? You got it, the artificial gravity.
Really, star fleet ought to have the engineers and design teams that designed and built the artificial gravity systems, design and build the whole ship. It would be invincible! Or, as a minimum, the warp core would be in the verge of rupturing all the time, and the holodeck would work for more then a week without trying to kill everyone.
Very nice pilot episode for a new ST series. Welcome to Avalon Universe!
The girl that plays the science officer is beautiful!
Good work, guys!
ZGB Studios Thanks Chuck!
Thanks Chuck! Glad to see your channel back up and rolling!
It kinda feels right that fan films stick to the old Desilu Production first season feeling to the gradual changes made over time.
Acually that was pretty good. Thanks for the work you guys did.
Thank YOU for watching!
Nice little film. I never did anything near as good when in film school. All my critiques have already been mentioned. It is almost tempting to dust off the script writing skills and send something in. I'm looking forward to more installments. Liked and subscribed.
Nice poke in eye to CBS for what they did to Axnar!!!!!
Alec Peters is to blame for Axanar, not CBS.
AXANAR got exactly what it deserved. Had it not been for Alec Peters’ actions, this could’ve been a lot more than just two 15 (or so) minute segments.
CBS and Alec Peters are to blame
How is it a poke in the eye, given that it abides perfectly by the guidelines? As others have said, Axanar got what it deserved.
@@freezetasticvoyage19 Nope, just Peters.
It amazes me at how many of the fan films are actually better on a lower budget in comparison to what is now considered Star Trek and by that I'm talking about both Discovery and Picard. I am a long time Trek fan , first discovered it when I was 10, and it's what actually got me hooked on science fiction in the first place.
Commander Mason winds up making the whole thing feel a lot like classic Trek. The effects are great, and I enjoy the personalities of the crew members involved.
It's very clear you all took some time with this, ensuring some real quality.
This guy looks like Michael J. Fox when he grew up. I keep thinking its going to be a comedy. Even so, very watchable and brilliant work for a group of fans to put together. Why do the big studios struggle with rubbish writers when there is such talent out there?
I noticed his resemblance too.
Wow this is great! Better than Discovery!
A fork in the eye is better than Discovery...........
I thought I commented on this episode years ago when it first came out, but since I don't see my comment anywhere...
Came back to watch Avalon from the start to refresh my memory about the "subspace marriage" mentioned in Cosmic Stream -- seeing the beginning of the shuttle trip, now I remember, lol. And boy do I love a good zombie story. I've always wanted to do a zombie story in Trek. I mean, I crossed over with Space: 1999 successfully, why not zombies?
Anyhoo, I love this story as much today as I did when I first saw it.
You're amazing Christina! Thank you so much for your kind words!
YOu know I haven't watched alot of star trek growing up but I recognize the feel of this production matches the feel of the series as best we could all these years later!
Wow, I am impressed! Great acting and characters!
Absolutely excellent in every respect. Above and beyond.
Most fan productions are not good at all but this one looks top notch. It is hard to believe it is a fan production.
Best scene at 12.28 “ What the hell was that?” Made me crack up!
Looks good, only small bugbear I have is the use of the term "Away team" as in the Original Series beaming down to a planet was referred to as a LANDING PARTY and boarding a vessel, a BOARDING PARTY. The Away Team reference only came into use in the 24TH Century.
Graham Laurie Thanks for watching. This is not the prime universe, so things like that don’t necessarily apply.
@@avalonuniverse6327 i just wish they said STD was in a mirror universe or a version of the kelvin timeline. STD is till a dumpster fire though.
@@avalonuniverse6327 This is the UA-cam Universe. The purists are correct.
If the crew is sporting TOS tunics, using TOS communicators & type-2 phasers, and the bridge has orange 2x4's...
... it's a "landing party", as well as a "boarding party". Please don't argue with us, as we are aging, and got nuthin else.
Never mess with anyone who watched the original series when it was brand new. We WILL scratch you!
By the way... Your video was terrific.
Get the tall girl some acting lessons, & you're golden.
Sure hope CBS leaves you alone.
Best of luck!
@@Seemsayin People can be very frightened of change.
Space Walking deads? Wow! Don,t miss the next Episodes!
Excellent job! Can not wait to see more.
“Bring the ship back under impulse power”
ITS MISSING A NACELLE
This a fantastic production that just cracked me up
The Nacelles are the Warp engines. The Impulse engines are located at the rear of the Saucer Section and were still operational
@@avalonuniverse6327 oh right the little red lights in the back, I getcha
Hello from Germany and great work!
At first I was like "oh god another fan made..." then I was like " this is actually pretty good"
Well done ! love the first series , would watch with new charters ... beam me up Scottie !!
I'm just a truck driver. Stumbled across this. Very impressed!
Star Trek meets The Walking Dead! I like it.
James Keene Thank you sir! I hope it was as fun to watch as it was to make!
@@avalonuniverse6327 Vance invited me to check it out. He's doing some of these too and has had me appear. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Star Trek, forever!
I think I recognize which TOS episode the events of this fan film are based off of.
TOS Episode The Ultimate computer where the TOS Enterprise under control of the M5 Computer leaves the USS Excalibur a complete wreck during the 23rd century war games.
Good explanation for why the crew was all dead without the ship being utterly destroyed (even without the undead). Well done.
Woman who played Lt. Archer needed to practice her dialog more, she had several odd pauses in her delivery.
Good acting, folks.
Oh wow. Good Trek. Keep up the good work.
Hey McFly !
The quality is high here. Well done. I’m a little confused on why the Sub-Prime Uniforms are being used side by side with the Prime uniforms. Also did anyone reach out to Captain Nelson, Joseph Kerezmen, over at Star Trek Excalibur for guest spots? His production had been on hold for a while but it would have been a fun touch to see them here.
Destiny Captain This is an alternate universe, neither Prime or Kelvin, which is why the Uniforms are different. Sort of a “Parallels” thing. We are not in any way affiliated with Joseph Kerezmen, but we wish him good luck with his endeavors.
Yes, as Avalon Universe says, these films are not related to Captain Nelson’s Excalibur. But have seen that film and enjoyed it. I hope they are able to make more.
Great Job, nice original story too
1:00 That Desk Lamp looks familiar. Didn't they use the same lamps on that big conference
table at Starfleet Command in the beginning of Star Trek: VI The Undiscovered Country.
Yes! Glen Wolfe dressed the sets for that scene, and slipped in that cool little Easter egg!
@@avalonuniverse6327 I just watched this cool fan film for the second time. The sets are fantastic
and it is well written but what impressed me most was the acting. The first mate seemed to be a mighty sailing woman
and the Captain was obviously brave and sure. The engineer had legs that went on forever.
But seriously I think the acting was very good and the humor was spot on. You can have the best digitally created
ships in the fan film world but you are not leaving Space Dock unless you have a crew with some acting talent.
Oh, and the Captain doing the " Kirk Body Roll " was awesome.
I will look for your other work.
