Aurora--Complete (Official Site) a Star Trek Fan Production

Original animated movie set in the Star Trek universe. This movie focuses on the exploits of civilian merchanters, rather than Starfleet officers. This movie combines all previously released parts into a single movie. English and French subtitles.

[@AnaiBendai]

At first I thought this was going to be a touchy-feeling chick flick set in the Star Trek universe... then it got dark... and touching. This film explores a relatively unseen side of the Star Trek mythos - the life of a privateer in Federation Space. Excellent film. Excellent writing. Excellent animation and realization. Wow. More please.

[@10995]

I wish the maker was online and would be willing to know that people want more. This is good, very good.

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Unfortunately Paramount won't allow me to make more--they don't allow for repeat characters in fan films. If you want to see what I'm up to now, please check out Quest of the Key: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJuTn4WiatujZ5Ysi=V3UiBxdw1Fm38vrk

[@hespudo]

Three years since I last left a comment and this is still my favorite Trek film. It fits into canon seamlessly, and I still love both characters. I truly wish there were more.

[@k1productions87]

And tells a wonderful heartfelt story in true Star Trek style.... I still tear up at the end, every single time

[@TheMsLourdes]

Gotta say I love this movie. THat said, as a mom, if I passed and my kids needed to do that to survive, I'm good with it, and hope they'd make it through as well.

[@ScottGammans]

Twelve years later and this episode still leaves me a quivering puddle at the end. This and Starship Exeter still stand at the top of the alt-Trek pyramid. Thanks and bravo, Tim!

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Glad you've continued to enjoy it after all these tears--er--years! 😉

[@michaeldesmondwoods3193]

This is the best independent Star Trek film I have ever seen! The animation is smooth and the voice acting is awesome. The MC is interesting and engaging and her back story is makes her feelings of loneliness feel legitimate!!

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@n7ekg]

In the last 10 years, the tech has vastly improved, so that an animated feature can be made that is almost lifelike. :)

[@Auroratrek]

It certainly has! The technology allows for a lot of interesting styles in addition to realism, so a lot of possibilities!

[@LnPPersonified]

I found this completely by accident. I have to say, this is decently animated and extremely well written. I don't normally like fan films, but this one is simply astonishing. Great job!

[@pangaeawriter8766]

I've looked at the new rules for Trek fan films, and with some tiny tweaks, Aurora could continue. I still keep these eps in my Trek fan film play list. 🙂

[@Auroratrek]

Glad you're still checking out these eps! I think the rules are still against recurring characters, so that would be an issue, I think. Of course, if they happen to show up in another story... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJuTn4WiatujZ5Ysi=APOFJCJmfyU1qYZU&t=156

[@kellysavage7073]

it is 1:12 am monday April 20th, 2020 and I just watched this movie for the 54th time and it never gets old and infact makes me feel better during this pandemic lockdown. And now for the second awesome movie of Aurora Mudd in your eye thank you to the creator of these two incredible movies. I do wish you could make more.

[@sifrost6869]

I keep coming back to watch this its a wonderful animated master peace, always makes me smile. Keep up the good work guys

[@Spindrift-id1ez]

It's little things like this that when made with true heart help me to believe that just maybe Star Trek ain't quite dead yet. And this has way more heart than Discovery, Picard and Lower Decks put together...The Great Bird of the Galaxy would approve... Bravo, and thankyou (Damn, I just realized this was posted 10 years ago)

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Sorry, yes, this was done several years ago. Glad you liked it, tho!

[@Ubique2927]

I have been putting off watching this... It keeps on popping up on my recommendations so I decided to give it a go. Why oh why did I not watch it earlier!

Such a touching and brilliant story, congratulations! Keep up the good work in whatever form we may be able to see and use in the future.

[@Nobody_114]

Thank you so much for making this. 1000 times better than Alex Kurtzman's 3 inconsistent seasons of ST:D! Excellent story!

[@Auroratrek]

Thank you! We tried to keep it "old school."

[@andreaso8886]

Dear lord, this is good. Probably the best fanmade movie I've seen so far. Love the pacing. Love the characters. Everything really original. And fits into the canon quite well. MAKE A TV SERIES PLEASE!!!!!!

[@datathunderstorm]

Stumbled across an 11 minute video of the 1st part I had downloaded in DiVX format about a decade ago. It was on my long term video archives. Watched it again then did a search of KZbin for the complete thing. NOT DISAPPOINTED! This is Star Trek as we used to know it. Fantastic animation / production and a better plot than Star Trek: Discovery....!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this - and I'm sorry, but T'Ling is smoking HOT.....!!!! Looking forward to watching more series in this Fan Production. Well done, wonderful work!

[@Auroratrek]

LOL--thanks for tracking down the finished video, and glad you enjoyed it! We tried to emulate old-school Trek, so I'm glad you liked those aspects of it.

[@Neville60001]

I can't believe I'm seeing this again, and as a complete movie! I remember when this was just one part, and with only a small amount of music to go with it; then it got expanded to three more parts! Great story, great animation, and most of all, great _characters_ (Kara and T' ling in particular), all rendered in one of the commercial CGI art programs! You should really take a bow, Auroratrek, this is still amazing work. Best regards, Neville6000 (Neville A. Ross)

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Yes, animation is a slow process, so the incremental rollout was the only way to remain (relatively) sane. Thanks for sticking with it till the end!

[@larrygorlitz]

I don't know how many times I've seen this now. I never get tired of it! Such a good story. Good detail.

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Glad it stands up to repeated views! ;-)

[@derpho]

This had the star trek spirit I missed since the latest episode of TNG. You gave my life a spark back again I lost as a child. This is a gem, a keeper. I absolutely love this. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Auroratrek]

Thank you! I'm a big fan from way back, too, and wanted to try to tap into that Trek spirit. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@libraeotequever3pointoh95]

This is some of the best writing & story-telling I've ever seen in Star Trek, period. I found this video today, May 18th., 2022. Hard to believe it's been over 10 years since this was created as a fan-fiction. I offer my compliments and appreciation for the efforts and talents that were poured into this work of excellence. Thank you for sharing a tale that tugged on my heart-strings. :-)

[@Auroratrek]

Thank you! Yes, so long ago I didn't even know there were other Star Trek fan films out there when I first started! ;-) I think there are a number of really good fan films out there, and I feel like the Star Trek universe in particular can bring out one's best for storytelling. I'm grateful for having been able to tell a couple of stories in that universe and share them with others like yourself. I'm hoping I can do something similar in my new series "Quest of the Key"--please check out an excerpt here, where you might notice a couple of familiar faces... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpnCZp6QiLJnf5I

[@kellysavage7073]

I have honestly watched this first movie at least 60 times and every time I watch it, it never gets old, it makes me feel good, and at all the right times makes me Laugh Keep making more episodes that you can. As you are doing an absolutely awesome job at make these episodes. Thank You.

With tons of love and care you can see it all neatly fits into the Star Trek universe visuals, ambience, and detail.

[@kurtstallings]

CBS: *Aurora* caused me to decide I *will* watch the new 2017 series. Pick up novels, etc. The 70s fanzines were the basis for restarting commercial Star Trek; contemporary fan media increases your profit in commercial areas by keeping us interested, engaged, eager for the canon expansion. But no one can do this quality in 15 minute segments, with no story longer than two segments. Please change the non-commercial fan license rules for *your* benefit as much as ours. #FreeAuroraTrek

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks, Kurt--fingers crossed!

[@swamihuman9395]

FANTASTIC! What a wonderful surprise:) Great job! I LOVED it!:) The story, cinematography, sound/music, 3D animation - everything was so well done and put together. BIG kudos. A quick background to appreciate why I loved it so much: As a kid in the 60's, I was enthralled w/ the original Star Trek. Jump forward to the 90's - I became a 3D animator (after earning an Electrical Engineering degree w/ emphasis on computers/robotics). And, jump to the present - I discovered Star Trek fanfiction. Late to the party? Well, I'd heard of it, but never pursued it. The quality does vary, so perhaps I was "less than enthused" in my first encounter. Anyhow, I recently discovered the excellent, "Star Trek Continued", and was blown away! So, I started looking for other quality productions... then I found "Aurora"... and, again, FANTASTIC! P.S. Looking forward to enjoying, "Mudd in Your I", and learning about the creative/talented people behind this outstanding Star Trek fanfiction. Thx for your contribution to the enduring legacy.

[@swamihuman9395]

+Swami Human To summarize the above, Aurora touched me on many levels. Thx:)

Mr. Vining, your story line is phenomenal! You brought part of the Star Trek universe (the part that almost never sees the light of day, namely the non-military) to life. The story of having a second chance to see departed loved ones and a second chance to right poor choices, all in one story line was truly wonderful. This story resonates with a wide audience on such a number of levels. I thought it was truly wonderful and I applaud you, sir. Thank you. The versatile voice talent of (Mrs?) Vining also did not go unnoticed. Great job. Would love to see more of such top notch material.

[@Auroratrek]

Thank you! I had further adventures in mind, but the latest CBS/Paramount fan film guidelines don't allow it. Make sure to watch Mudd in Your I, if you haven't ( @ ), and I hope you will give Quest of the Key a look as well! ( @ )

[@Auroratrek]

@@Al-mf4uo Thanks! So far I've only published the trailer and some tests for "Quest"--it's taking a while to get retooled for the new production. "Mudd" was meant to be lighter and sillier, so wouldn't have the same feels as the first one. Hope you found it fun anyway!

[@Al-mf4uo]

@@Auroratrek Yes, thought Mudd was fun, too. I love your creativity and sense of humour! Resonates with mine, for sure. Can hardly wait for Quest. Based on the Trailer, there are many great directions you could go with the story Line. As a hobby writer, I have a particular appreciation for the incredible amount of Work it is to write a good script. The choreography of dialogue and movement is huge. Most people can't write it, but they appreciate it when they read ( or View) it. The right comment at the right Moment makes a good show fantastic. Tough to do, when you already have a zillion other things on the go, but you've done a great job so far! Al

So, tho I would have liked to explore more stories, I'm really glad I was able to show them both in serious and silly circumstances, and long enough for many people like yourself to grow fond of them--for a storyteller, you can't ask for much more than that.

Thanks a bunch for this nice and refreshing peek into the civilian life of Trek life, this conversations are way more relatable than your average Federation Flagship's, prim and proper officers, since they're between average joes whom are not bound by chain of command protocols and whatnot, which is helped by a superb voice over. Now, I know everybody says this whenever they see a well done fan production but, imagine this with a proper budget and a studio that respects the author's vision... And I realized while typing this, that you've made another one.... Can't wait to see Kara dealing with that interestellar rascal, the hu-man who'd cause, even the shrewdest of Ferengi, to blush.

[@Auroratrek]

Thank you! I was always interested in the "civilians" in Star Trek, so it was a lot of fun to explore that side of the Trek universe. Yes, even a middling budget would help a lot on a project like this, but we do the best we can! Hope you like "Mudd in Your I"

[@granudisimo]

@@Auroratrek Loved it, it was very funny without plain turning into comedy, the Klingons were simply great, and Kara of Arc trying to use epic language to relate to the Klingons was the funniest bit in my opinion, superb how it worked together with the General's newly found gender dysphoria. Both films felt like true Trek throgh and through, it's a shame the ripples of the "Hoaxanar" are barring you from making more, and it's a shame, because it is because of fans' tenacity that Star Trek lasted for more than a decade in the first place.

[@markusv222]

I'm wondering if the new rules for trek fanfic films can be by-passed by instead of making it not as an animation video or as an actor driven video production, but by putting it in the form of a graphic novel pages on a youtube video. Not as interesting as looking at live action or animated characters on a video production, but for those of us who would like to see more Aurora fan fic, it could be something to think about. It would also be less laborious than animation and you can put out content in faster time.

[@TheMsLourdes]

It'd be a motion comic and it would probably apply. PRoblem if, even if its not, no one wants to test it. This was supposed to be a series, but when the rules came down, well, at least we got this.

Wonderful seeing this again ... for about the fifth time! Magnificently done.

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks, Seth! I'm glad you feel like Aurora is worth a second (or fifth!) look. ;-)

[@michalslatina8004]

I seen this for last 7 years, almost 20x.;-)

[@Auroratrek]

@@michalslatina8004 LOL--that's dedication! There are a number of little Easter eggs in there--you may have noticed them all by now!

[@michalslatina8004]

@@Auroratrek Probably. 😉😁

[@ScottGammans]

Just rewatched this again today. It still makes me start tearing up, even though I know exactly what's going to happen and how it's going to end. Thanks again Tim for sharing this with the world.

[@Auroratrek]

You are very welcome. It's hearing from people like yourself that makes it worth it!

[@k1productions87]

I second that. Even the simple moment of seeing the Merc sitting there in dock as the stolen shuttle docks at the station. I think in that case, already knowing makes the tears flow only that much harder.

[@RobinNotes]

WELL DONE!!! The best one I've seen so far. Fluent, smooth, and not illogical.

[@hespudo]

Regardless of how many more of these you make, this will always be my favorite one. Even in the Star Trek universe family is everything. thank you for making something that keeps reminding me not to blow my own head off.

[@Auroratrek]

I think that no matter how advanced we get, family will always be our anchor, our guide, and our strength.

I may begin the custom of leaving a comment every time I re-watch this. I just love Aurora! I'm home recovering from the flu isolating watching old Star Treks and I just felt like it was a good evening for Aurora. I would have to say this is my second favorite fan-made Trek behind only Star Trek Continues. And in all honesty your production is a better story than a couple of their episodes. I sure wish there were more of this. I wonder if we could write some fanfiction? As long as it wasn't for money? There must be some way to keep this going. Besides it being part of my Daydream Star Trek universe.

[@Auroratrek]

LOL--thanks for checking in! Hope it helped a little with your recovery, if only to take your mind off your sniffles. Yes, ST Continues is really well done, and very enjoyable. I think fan fiction is still safe from prosecution, as well as day dreams! ;-)

[@TheMsLourdes]

@@Auroratrek I'd love to see more of this, it has such a unique feel and voice. Thank you so much for all you did (so far?)

[@Auroratrek]

@@TheMsLourdes Thanks! Unfortunately, CBS/Paramount kind of pulled the plug on Trek fan films a couple years ago, so it's not really possible for us to make more Aurora in this form. We are working on a new project called "Quest of the Key," which is not Star Trek, but will share DNA in its tone and storytelling. And, to your other recent comment, we promise to try to make you "not cry" ;-) You can see an excerpt here on this channel with a couple of familiar faces--we hope you check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpnCZp6QiLJnf5I

[@JanetDax]

Watched again. Always a pleasure.

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@spockospockon6519]

Great job guys!! Anyone trying to keep Star Trek alive is doing good works and this was very entertaining and I was glued to the screen!!

[@Kugal83]

Wonderful work, i could watch episode like this for a good couple of seasons.

[@stevegeorge5322]

Well Done! Bravo! More please.

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to check out Mudd in Your I, here on this channel!

[@Tyree89733]

This was good i watched the whole this and was pleased, I also like Star Trek Series too

[@EMDSD14R]

Tyree Simmons Indeed it was great! Oh that's cool same here.

[@RLL1961]

Very nice, well done! This was a well written, well acted and emotionally drawing work. I've got more episodes to watch and more to hope for.

[@avenuePad]

I can't believe I first watched this 12 years ago. How time flies. I really love your work! :)

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks! Yes, time does march on!

[@TheMsLourdes]

Ah, always gets me right in the I'm not crying, you're crying parts ;)

[@Auroratrek]

LOL--mission accomplished! ;-)

[@csosaf5907]

Excellent!!!!! Love it!!!!!

[@Auroratrek]

Thanks!

[@Mechknight73]

Very well done, Roddenberry himself would be impressed. Wandering off into a part of the Star Trek universe that's rarely seen, and throwing in so many plot twists. Hope to see more of your work in the future

[@Pavlonian]

Simply amazing work and if/when the world moves to kickstarter-style pay-4-tv models, I would be paying for quality like this. As a long time Trek fan I was so surprised how good this was and a joy to watch. Thanks for making my day. :)
