the sounds the cubes make are well done, with the sound and the sight of them chasing the enterprise it is almost like a giant monster relentlessly chasing it's prey
1. I love that you kept the wrong phasers on the nacelle struts, just like it was in the episode. That's some ironic accuracy there :) 2. I hope Paramount one day decides to remaster the TNG special effects, just so that they can hire you to join the team!
1) at least enterprise is or was safe for the moment again anyway 2) oh no it's them! THE BORG! 3) if they changed their position the Borg would've had to start from scratch 4) the deflector thing was worth a try i think too
@cdname47 Trying to match the actual "rubber band" effect is very difficult and time consuming so what I use is a method that takes 5 minutes. Besides they used about 4 or 5 different effects for warp in the series and films.
@VideoSpaceFX Maybe you could instert the borg greeting to the beginning of the battle but probably you already planned everything so i shut up now :D It will be awesome im sure :D
An the episode the borg didn't shoot an the nebula . they called it metric guided charges that drew the enterprise out or somthing like that its hard to remmeber. But one of the greatest episode an next gen .best of both worlds 1 an 2
@sumbuddyx Thanks, I wasn't sure where to fit the Locutus voice bit into the video. I did record it off the episode to use but I never did. The music is from the TNG soundtrack some Star Trek games and other places.
One small error to note in this reproduction: when the Enterprise took cover in the nebula, the Borg did not fire magneto-metric charges or whatever they're called, into the nebula. Somehow those charges were something that occurred within the nebula itself, forcing the Enterprise to flee from it.
they will feel you not motivated to finish what job they give you to do, anyway , good luck guy hope i will be doing what you doing in the future, but my aim is to do short story of babylon 5
12 hours from the Enterprise's previous position, not from Earth. The previous episode "Transfigurations" had the Enterprise traveling a considerable distance away from Federation space over the course of a month. The Enterprise would have been closer to the Federation's outermost colonies at that point.
James Stearns Doesn't matter as long as it's Enterprise. While Janeway amble through half galaxy for 7 years, Picard is at the different corners of Federation borders every second week.
Wonderful job, but I think there's a mistake. You show impulse engine exhaust coming out of the shuttle bay below the saucer section on the saucer pylon. Shouldn't there be two impulse engines on the rear edge of the saucer section?
next time Sandy will be sending out a category 7 hurricane after Tampa bay area if anything happens to me cuz I am the most gifted blessed person who has a great loving protected angel sent from God ever
@thespecialneedsgroup Thanks. The size of the Borg cube is not stated in any series or film, but considered to be 3000m across with the Enterprise-D at 642m long. I scaled this correctly in these shots but in BoBW they were limited by the physical models to get the perspectives right, so they couldn't do distant shots moving closer in such as at 3:01 for example, which really show the sheer size of the cube.
I play STO and some people say they don't see why Wolf 359 was such a tragedy, and that it was only 40 ships of Starfleet's almost 1500 ships. It's a fleet just like the real world. It took years to build each ship and has a crew serving aboard. When so many Captains lead their crew into impossible battle, when thousands die to save billions, the least we can do is respect their memory, even if it is just a show.
When I play STO, I would often go to Wolf 359 to pay my respects. Especially on the date when Best Of Both Worlds Part 2 aired. Cause that’s when the battle took place.
7:27 that’s when it all goes wrong. (that music reminds me of when I was 7, I was scared of going on stage and I cried and ran off stage in elementary school, and one of my teachers asked “are you OK? why are you crying?” It’s like my stage fear was so big and angry at me that I actually cried) That song sounds like a song when it’s a twist and everything goes wrong. And that part what I said in parentheses is that actually reminds me of an incident that happened 5 years back. Cause, ya know, instant regret=The “Something goes brutally wrong” theme. “Top 10 Times I actually misunderstood” Is what I’m thinking from the incident that happened 5 years back.
The Borg already knew about the Federation. In "The Neutral Zone" episode it was revealed that something had been basically scooping Romulan and Federation outposts off of their respective worlds, and in "Q Who", Worf mentioned that a number of planets in the system where Q flung them had areas upon them with a more or less identical pattern of damage. Q essentially sent them there to give Picard a somewhat dickish heads-up.
To answer your question Star Trek The Next Generation season 3 'The Best of Both Worlds part 1' aired on June 18th 1990 and 'The Best of Both Worlds Part 2' of season 4 aired on September 24th of that same year.
Man you bring that pain memory of 1993 when the best of both worlds first aired. Hell of a night on T.V. that night....utterly we did not know what was going to happen until the next night. The most memorable Battle in Star Trek history as hopeless as it was. Were about to start that would echo down the time line until the battle of the Tyra Nebula!
To whoever made this video on the Best of Both Worlds you made a slight mistake of the first battle between the Enterprise and the Borg cube and that mistake was when the Borg engaged they're cutting beam and struck the secondary hull of the Enterprise you hit it on the wrong side the beam didn't hit the Enterprise on the port side it was on the starboard side.
That was thoroughly enjoyable but I would love to see something new and not just reproductions of what's done before and that might make it more worthwhile to you too.
I noticed it some people in the comments were quite rude but I guess if it wasn't for those people people wouldn't strive to do better but I want to be honest I've watched every episode All Star Trek except the original series multiple times like several times and The Best of Both Worlds episodes is my one of my favorites and I know those ship scenes very well and I can tell that there was no copying and pasting so it looks like you animated all that so I have to say excellent job I mean you were spot-on as far as I can tell with how the actual scenes went except some of the things you did a better job than the original like when the I think it was the USS Crazy Horse breaks away from the Enterprise and goes in different direction in the episode it looks weird but I really like how you integrated that's light on this and yours but it looks a whole lot more fluent like much more natural very very good job I loved every minute of it and I've watched almost all your videos but my favorite one is the the one about the first Starship Earth's first Starship the Valiant that was awesome that was like really really cool story I would really love to see you like a fool made movie of that that was an awesome awesome story thank you very much
@CJCA915 Yes. Tractor beam is fractal noise stretched vertically with some other noise as well and shield is just an 3D ovaliod with some masking. I basically "hand draw" all my effects which takes along time!
Note that the Enterprise phasers hit the Borg cube from the get-go. That means the Borg did not have their shields up. Without shields up, transporters can be used at will. (as evidenced by every single Borg episode eventually results in Federation crew beaming on board a Borg vessel at will) Therefore, any half-witted Federation captain could easily ask for engineering to beam over a few dozen quantum torpedoes right into the core of the Borg cube upon first encounter, all set for immediate detonation. Big boom = Borg cube fragments everywhere. (Consider that in the TOS episode "Obsession", a half-ounce of antimatter was used against the vampiric blood-eating cloud creature... and it shattered the crust of a *PLANET*. Being that quantum torpedoes are supposed to be the 'next-level' of photon torpedoes, with a bigger boom, a few dozen should create an even bigger *BOOM* than that. So, such an explosion, occurring from the inside out... would easily vaporize a Borg cube.) --- In other words, the Borg are the coolest-looking lame enemies the Federation has ever seen. Easily destroyed, except for the idiocy of the story writers.
The concept of a single starship with a compliment of approx 2000 personnel (including families) patrolling through space is obsolete. My concept of a starship would be a much larger ship with a crew up up to 10,000 in the configuration of a mothership at 20x the size of current starships. When it arrives in a area to investigate an incident, it separates into dozens of smaller (but still deadly) attack ships with up to 100 SOLDIERS on board for a boarding party. Thus when the enemy tries to defend themselves, they will be faced with a fleet 60 smaller assault ships as well the the huge mothership.
By Next Generation standards the Excelsior at a push maybe seen but all those other hunks of crap were only seen because of budget restrictions. If anything the only ships to be seen as old work horses would be Rigel, Korolev, Ambassador classes at the lest if your going to create your own proximity of the show with no restrictions! So please VideoSpaceFX, do it create a new video with no ships older than those mentioned!
A few incongruities. The Borg never fired into the nebula…it was producing the storms that forced the Enterprise out. Second…the Enterprise couldn’t pursue the Borg cube after firing the massive discharge due to repairing the main deflector dish…not the engines.
Hate to be a nitpick, because your work is beautiful. In some of the initial shots, the Borg Cube comes across as being more like a rectangle standing on its short side.
I don't know why I still click open some of these things. I almost never watch more than 2 min before I move on to something else. 91K hits and for what? I thought this was going to be a cut from a real star trek film. I wonder how many of the 91K that have open this though that too.
The Borg are the assholes of the universe. I mean the Enterprise had this primo weapon and the Borg are all like "OH NO! Those mean federation types are gonna pulverize our cube! What EVER shall we do? If only we knew the subspace frequency of the beam. Oh wait we do. NYA HA HA!
3:00 Mr Worf dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hanson...We have engaged the Borg!
"We are the Borg... all your trash compactors are belong to us... because we need to make us more of them Borg cubes to fight Species 8472!"
this is very accurate, i absolutely love what you've done here
Definitely... I was seeing CMDR Riker and Shelby arguing in my head while watching this..
Except for the Borg cutting beam. In the episode, it was cutting into the Enterprise's starboard side. Here it's on the port side.
I think this is fantastic. Really captured everything the episode did.
the sounds the cubes make are well done, with the sound and the sight of them chasing the enterprise it is almost like a giant monster relentlessly chasing it's prey
The Borg flash when it entered warp..lovely!💗✨ Beautiful renderings
1. I love that you kept the wrong phasers on the nacelle struts, just like it was in the episode. That's some ironic accuracy there :)
2. I hope Paramount one day decides to remaster the TNG special effects, just so that they can hire you to join the team!
There were some very good scenes, from other aspects. Good job 👍👍👍
1) at least enterprise is or was safe for the moment again anyway 2) oh no it's them! THE BORG! 3) if they changed their position the Borg would've had to start from scratch 4) the deflector thing was worth a try i think too
gee, u don't wanna mess with the borg..
I’m a Star Wars fan, mostly, but this looked epic and makes me want to see the movie.
The environment lighting seems to be a little dimmed. Overall, the animation is excellent.
OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant!
This is beyond epic, amazing awesome work. Paramount needs to hire you!
I remember this,this episode here was to me the jumping off point for Star Trek Eclipse and Star trek the continuing voyages.
@cdname47 Trying to match the actual "rubber band" effect is very difficult and time consuming so what I use is a method that takes 5 minutes. Besides they used about 4 or 5 different effects for warp in the series and films.
Other sector would be in the Delta Quadrant where USS Voyager was in
where the Borg also found.
Well done. I just watched the original "best of both Worlds" and the Animations here are better.
How ever it seams like the Lightining isnt right.
Awesome!!!!
Very Nice
Great job😀
@VideoSpaceFX Maybe you could instert the borg greeting to the beginning of the battle but probably you already planned everything so i shut up now :D
It will be awesome im sure :D
nice music
An the episode the borg didn't shoot an the nebula . they called it metric guided charges that drew the enterprise out or somthing like that its hard to remmeber. But one of the greatest episode an next gen .best of both worlds 1 an 2
The Federation needs to build Warships these exploring Ships. No match for Borg.
Still gives me goosebumps.
Way to take one of the most epic and exciting episodes and make it boring. Slow clap.
@VideoSpaceFX To be honest I've never been crazy about the "rubber band" effect anyway.
@sumbuddyx
Thanks, I wasn't sure where to fit the Locutus voice bit into the video. I did record it off the episode to use but I never did. The music is from the TNG soundtrack some Star Trek games and other places.
One small error to note in this reproduction: when the Enterprise took cover in the nebula, the Borg did not fire magneto-metric charges or whatever they're called, into the nebula. Somehow those charges were something that occurred within the nebula itself, forcing the Enterprise to flee from it.
Yeah, the Borg did. Riker said that very thing in the episode.
We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your biological and technology distinctiveness will be added unto ours.
@VideoSpaceFX "dark and ominous" like space should be!
Nice Animation skillz love this
they will feel you not motivated to finish what job they give you to do, anyway , good luck guy hope i will be doing what you doing in the future, but my aim is to do short story of babylon 5
VideoSpaceFX you should work on the renegades project!! sure they would love work this good
The Borg have invaded Earth but under a new name, the Republican party. yep i said it. Excellent vid.
''Distant'' is now only 12 hours away! :D
12 hours from the Enterprise's previous position, not from Earth. The previous episode "Transfigurations" had the Enterprise traveling a considerable distance away from Federation space over the course of a month. The Enterprise would have been closer to the Federation's outermost colonies at that point.
James Stearns Doesn't matter as long as it's Enterprise.
While Janeway amble through half galaxy for 7 years, Picard is at the different corners of Federation borders every second week.
whats that music at the very start?
Anyone still here waiting for the answer
Empath vs GLE
Wonderful job, but I think there's a mistake. You show impulse engine exhaust coming out of the shuttle bay below the saucer section on the saucer pylon. Shouldn't there be two impulse engines on the rear edge of the saucer section?
The saucer impulse engines are only supposed to be on when the saucer is separated from the engineering hull.
***** actually there have been several instances where they had to use the saucer impulse engines for additional power
Bryan Larson Yes, but they've never been on.
Only in the Enterprise finale were they on while the ship was in one piece.
***** DS9 battle of chin'toka, saucer impulse engines burning for the fires of war
Is this a movie or is it the episodes
Since when does the Enterprise have a headlight?
the money braclet sandy blessed me with rose gold chain queen bella is coming soon to be continued tampa???????
I love the music. Where did you get it from?
I put the composers in the credits but I can't remember the tracks, it was too long ago :)
The music at the beginning of the video are the borg - ambient and borg - exploration tracks from starfleet command 3.
If memory serves, there was actually a Best of Both Worlds soundtrack released on CD.
Part 2??
WHERE IS PART 2?!?!?!
When can we expect part2? :D
Archons
Too bad it will never be finished.
no contact still from cindy riveria and any of the anistasia team members the east coast is severed from my mind :to be continued
Ok :-)
looks nothing light the borg cube, totally different lighting effects!
Do a wolf 359 scenario
Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack from 4:58 to 5:24?
It's from Star Trek: First Contact, and it's called "Fully Functional".
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
next time Sandy will be sending out a category 7 hurricane after Tampa bay area if anything happens to me cuz I am the most gifted blessed person who has a great loving protected angel sent from God ever
belthna
use the nukes kirk
sept 21st 2015 im leaving tampa 4 good
time to deploy 500 avro arrows----now
Best of Both Worlds was the high water mark of Trek hands down.

"We have engaged the Borg." - Jean-Luc Picard
This is some of your best work to date, and I want to thank you for that! You put a lot of love into this. Well done!
7:27 that’s when it all goes wrong. (that music reminds me of when I was 7, I was scared of going on stage and I cried and ran off stage in elementary school, and one of my teachers asked “are you OK? why are you crying?” It’s like my stage fear was so big and angry at me that I actually cried) That song sounds like a song when it’s a twist and everything goes wrong.

Thanks Q for introducing the Borg to the Federation...'Nuff Said.
The Borg already knew about the Federation. In "The Neutral Zone" episode it was revealed that something had been basically scooping Romulan and Federation outposts off of their respective worlds, and in "Q Who", Worf mentioned that a number of planets in the system where Q flung them had areas upon them with a more or less identical pattern of damage. Q essentially sent them there to give Picard a somewhat dickish heads-up.
Q actually kind of saved the federation doing that.
Q have said to the voyager crew if not William T Riker, the borg would have assimilited the Federation
Yes indeed. I do enjoy the scene where Picard is shown to be wrong about being able to face any threat in the galaxy and has to ask Q to save them.
I don't know how many years it's been since the original "Best of Both Worlds" but even this short version still gives me the chills.
To answer your question Star Trek The Next Generation season 3 'The Best of Both Worlds part 1' aired on June 18th 1990 and 'The Best of Both Worlds Part 2' of season 4 aired on September 24th of that same year.

It was aired a couple yrs b4 93 lol
To whoever made this video on the Best of Both Worlds you made a slight mistake of the first battle between the Enterprise and the Borg cube and that mistake was when the Borg engaged they're cutting beam and struck the secondary hull of the Enterprise you hit it on the wrong side the beam didn't hit the Enterprise on the port side it was on the starboard side.
I'll never understand why Picard simply didn't ask Q for a favor?
Such good work lol tractor beam and shield effects are awesome, the ships entering warp looks epic, the borg cube looks sweet as fuck also.
Amazing stuff, but if I had to say anything it'd be that your warps aren't quite right....*sorry*
But great work on the rest though, loving it!
That was thoroughly enjoyable but I would love to see something new and not just reproductions of what's done before and that might make it more worthwhile to you too.
Fantastic video, thank you..great work loved it....more pleeeeeaaaassssee!! 😁
I noticed it some people in the comments were quite rude but I guess if it wasn't for those people people wouldn't strive to do better but I want to be honest I've watched every episode All Star Trek except the original series multiple times like several times and The Best of Both Worlds episodes is my one of my favorites and I know those ship scenes very well and I can tell that there was no copying and pasting so it looks like you animated all that so I have to say excellent job I mean you were spot-on as far as I can tell with how the actual scenes went except some of the things you did a better job than the original like when the I think it was the USS Crazy Horse breaks away from the Enterprise and goes in different direction in the episode it looks weird but I really like how you integrated that's light on this and yours but it looks a whole lot more fluent like much more natural very very good job I loved every minute of it and I've watched almost all your videos but my favorite one is the the one about the first Starship Earth's first Starship the Valiant that was awesome that was like really really cool story I would really love to see you like a fool made movie of that that was an awesome awesome story thank you very much

@Thunderchyld Thanks. I haven't forgetten about the video you suggested either, I will get there eventually.
One more thing... This is the first time I've seen an Excelsior class jump to warp... that touch makes me happy! Rock ON and well done.
Only way to improve this would be to add some dialogue From the actual episode. Especially the: I AM LOCUTUS OF BORG speech😎
@iiiangelsiii Erm well whenever I say it ends up being way off, so let's say between 1 and 6 months!
Note that the Enterprise phasers hit the Borg cube from the get-go. That means the Borg did not have their shields up.
Without shields up, transporters can be used at will. (as evidenced by every single Borg episode eventually results in Federation crew beaming on board a Borg vessel at will)

The borg cube looks perfect
Finn......to be continued
A few incongruities. The Borg never fired into the nebula…it was producing the storms that forced the Enterprise out. Second…the Enterprise couldn’t pursue the Borg cube after firing the massive discharge due to repairing the main deflector dish…not the engines.
These models are amazing. It's like the show never ended.
VideoSpaceFX, Can you make the second part of the Borg Incursion please?
Hate to be a nitpick, because your work is beautiful. In some of the initial shots, the Borg Cube comes across as being more like a rectangle standing on its short side.
the stage is set the players are ready are u ready to dance red alert all hand to battle stations
ONLY issue visually after watching first 6 minutes: No Borg Cube, Borg Rectangle!
Not for nothing, if it was me commanding the Enterprise, I would go through the nebula, rather turn around and let the cube capture me
Last you don't want is a confrontation with something like this.
Very last thing don't need intend of being assimilated
I don't know why I still click open some of these things. I almost never watch more than 2 min before I move on to something else. 91K hits and for what? I thought this was going to be a cut from a real star trek film. I wonder how many of the 91K that have open this though that too.

good work!
ps:
I like your warp effects.
and the music also fits well.
Wow, you people who made this, (at this present moment), are really cool! :) ...
I thought beaming while at warp wasnt possible or was that only during TOS?
What bothers me is that the Enterprise should've escaped the Paulson Nebula the other direction
