      @davidbuelow2248 5 років тому +3

      LOL! Yes, that's what I assumed since his mic was corded, but he's a determined sumbitch. My shot was directly in front of a pillar and as wide as possible to account for movement, and thankfully he didn't stray out of frame too much. That room is hard to film in due to all the pillars in the centre, so the spot I chose is best because the pillars won't block the subject, and it's too close to the front for people to just stand up and block the shot.

    • @raymondrodriguez9389
      @raymondrodriguez9389 5 років тому

      Actually, the possibility is there for previous characters of Star Trek to make an appearance by way of the Holodeck. As Janeway used the holodeck to talk to Leonardo Da Vinci, Why not use it to bring back images of previous cast members? Granted there are those who have passed on, but the chance is there for some of those still alive to appear. Since Kirk died in Generations, he could still show up as a hologram. Would be interesting to see Picard and Kirk teamed up again.

      @@Novarcharesk It is well done. Similar in quality to the panels I record with great audio (always an issue for most casual panel recordings) and decent video. Is this channel affiliated with the convention? Did they attend as press? Because I am impressed by the amount of panels they are producing, plus the fact that I did read in the press guidelines that recording full panels was prohibited by policy. And I have a great panel of STNG folks that I can't release because Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis both stated during the panel that they didn't want it recorded. So that's why I'm puzzled. EDIT - I take back the audio part... this one wasn't as good as some of the others they've been producing.

And I also don't want a reputation with conventions that I disregard the wishes of their guests or ignore the con rules... then I don't get press passes and don't get cooperation from staff for getting content. So it's not just a respect the actor's wishes thing... it's a practical thing too.

    Frakes was a bit of a dick to me the last time I met him.
    I said, "I loved your comments in the 'Chaos on the Bridge' documentary (William Shatner's movie)."
    He just smiled at me in bizarre silence. I asked, "oh, you didn't like it? Hahahaha."
    More silence.... More silence..... Just awkward and dickish…. the stuff that I expect from Spiner, not him.

      Nicholas Millington I did’t vote for him and you’re fucking stupid for not knowing what a fascist is.
      Your opinion is extremist left. Unreasonable, radical and divisive. Look up fascist and read about it. Simply labelling someone you disagree with as a fascist actually diminishes the meaning of the word.
      How many fascist do you know that introduced laws to protect freedom of speech, thats literally the opposite of fascism. I think you’ve been programmed by you marxist professor.

    Shame the subject of the abomination Discovery kept getting brought up, and Frakes was probably paid or being a team player by not bashing it. Same with Picard although to be fair this was before it came out and we didn't know how bad it would be.
    Otherwise, this is a great talk. His report with fans and his wit is on another level. Stewart could never have a talk like this, but Frakes gets it.

    Very disappointed, Mr. Frakes. I really thought you were better than this. All I'm saying is, from 2008-2016 we never once said that man sitting in the White House wasn't our President, because we were, are, grown-ups. I certainly respect you as a director, but you show business people are too obsessed over what they think of us in other countries. Eventually i would have subscribed to this page, but today I won't. And, BTW, I turned the video off, too.

      @@kennethbaker5223 I understand your general point and agree that there might be situations where a devitation from the main topic might not be the best choice, for example suddenly talking about tax policy in a funeral speech. But Frakes' situation (fan expo) is even more informal and casual than "Meet the Press" and therefore I do not yet understand why you see it the other way around applicating your rule of context. When Cato ended even his speeches on totally different topics with an uncalled "ceterum censeo ..." he deviated, too. And made his point. By the way: When I lived in Arizona for one year at the time Trump got elected I was shocked how much talking about politics and expressing your stance is a taboo over there. So all of this might have more to do with local/regional culture.
