Air And Darkness A STAR TREK Fan Production

[@barryon8706]

I liked how it fit into continuity by keeping it a secret. And putting a Klingon on a planet of a different empire might even explain that empire's interest in that technology later on. The acting was really good for a fan film, and ditto the Klingon makeup.

[@deangrubbs5376]

Really appreciate this fan film series.

[@fionajane56]

This is fantastic! I love the fact the crew are so real and down to earth. We need more good story telling these days! Thank you.

[@jordanreed3675]

Two Star Trek fanfilms premiering on the same day yes please and thank you

[@jordanreed3675]

Wait air and darkness oh god the iconians

[@JoeCannon1]

DSrider I thought the same thing 🙂🖖

[@nleavenworth3064]

Great production

[@mkendallpk4321]

So well done and written that it makes you think that it was done by a commercial company. Keep up the great work!

[@scottlyons8130]

I think that is the best D7 I've seen.

[@DelcoRanz93]

I really love how this tied into the Iconian Story arc started in TNG and later followed up in DS9. Very well done, and Happy New Year to Team Avalon Universe.

[@joshuairwin2016]

Thanks! It was fun sort of bridging the gap there.

[@enterprise1701e]

@@joshuairwin2016 It also bridges the gap with the Iconian storyline in STO, with the gateway coordinates updating for stellar drift.

[@salilbhatnagar]

and star trek online!

Very cool

Talk about starting the New Year off right! 🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖

[@vanceamania]

Right?!

[@RonnyTheEngineer]

The Starship Excalibur is still tough enough to keep fighting.

[@coecludd]

Another great production. It was great to see iconian technology again. I wonder where the Klingon ended up. I thought Romulus? Nice to also see connections to Axanar and Trekyards. Well done 🖖

[@MeanMachine1515]

Grreat Job. Thank You for keeping Star Trek alive.!!!

[@ussatlas]

Well done. Indeed a great start of 2021. It's proof that the fan film guidelines did NOT make fan films impossible. Instead they boosted creativity and determination. Thanks a lot to the cast and crew of the Avalon Universe. On behalf of the crew of the USS Atlas I wish you all the best for the future. Keep on trekking.

[@power543]

This is actually a golden age of fan films, dozens have been released and some of the best ever made.

[@AdamMullen]

Thank you for asking me to score the music for this awesome fan film!

[@joshuairwin2016]

I'm honestly blown away by the score you wrote!

[@AdamMullen]

@@joshuairwin2016 Thank you!!!!

It was good stuff

@@vanceamania thanks!

[@HLR4th]

Great story. Great special effects; I loved how it mirrored the TNG episode dealing with the Iconians.

[@Kaliburz]

Yup... also very "Kirk-ish". How many times did Kirk & company not record the "exact" truth in their logs for the sake of civilization or the people they left...

[@johnkirwin1010]

fight choreography needs work but other than that outstanding job looking forward to future projects

[@annettemalaski1967]

Great storytelling in the best Trek tradition!

[@dwiggins1]

I love how the mix the Classic Star Trek with the updated movies. I still perfer the Classic uniforms!

[@grumpus_hominidae]

Not gonna lie... That Klingon makeup and costume looks REALLY good 👍🏼

[@michaelmacleod6517]

Glad to see Avalon expanding and continuing onward. You guys ever need a Romulan, let me know :)

[@LairdErnst]

Well done showing the differences between Klingon and Federation tactics for ship to ship and ground combat. Starfleet away team has a stun setting on phasers with collapsible batons. The Klingons have bladed weapons and disruptor pistols. Federation ships combine shields for greater defense and combine fire power against multiple targets. Klingons work together but only for as long as it doesn’t interfere with personal honor.

[@engrpe]

This was awesome! Looking forward to more Avalon Universe in 2021!

[@richardbradley2335]

Once again im relying on YT productions instead of multi million pound crap...enjoyed this...star ships were bloody amazing

[@dramonmaster222]

Happy New Year to the cast and crew of Avalon Universe! This was absolutely FANTASTIC and so fitting of Star Trek.

[@startrekker8803]

this was well worth the wait and I truly enjoy the character development of Commander Beck.

[@drnoone3596]

Great job everyone! Thanks for starting 2021 off like this 😀

[@davidconner8039]

What a great start to 2021! Thanks Avalon team! Love seeing new characters but can't get enough of Beck and Ramirez. They're such a great pair!

[@JEDAI501ST]

The ships were done very well. The acting and the fight scenes and the equipment were corny, but that's good, because it's one of the best things about Star Trek. I think that this series would have been very worthy of a few seasons of TOS Era. Roddenberry, and Shatner, (I think) would be proud of these videos. Just my personal opinion.

[@lisanidog8178]

The characterizations were much improved as it was suggested to me. This was great! The guy who played the Klingon was great. Just enough scary.

[@libraryplayer9154]

Great film. This one has to be one of my favourites of your films I've seen so far 😀🖖

[@Audiogeek-kf2ez]

The vest fan sfx to date. More please, this is what trekies need

[@ozelhassan8576]

This was so thought out and made brilliant watching, great acting, great story and everyone who helped bring this forth deserves a award equivalent to a Oscar. Well done people.

[@mikebasil4832]

Gosh, what it takes to fight a Klingon. 🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿

[@ussvoyager8650]

That was a truly amazing video the Federation Starships the Dreadnought the Klingon Birds of Prey & the D-7 Battlecruiser look totally amazing the sound effects & everything else is so totally Amazing

[@jordanreed3675]

To the cast and crew you guys are a bunch of magnificent bastards please don’t take offence to that, I bet stewart Foley of trekyards will be grinning like a hyena seeing his ship in action like this

[@JEDAI501ST]

Amen to that.

[@Roboprogs]

Bury the gate, huh? Oops, sorry, wrong franchise 😁 It’s all good. Thanks for making this.

[@theamused8705]

Well done! Why is it these days fan films are much better than what CBS comes out with?

[@michaelmorton5698]

Foley-class dreadnought in action. Finally! Also, Beck has two Klingon blades in her collection.

[@russellonearrow2154]

Excellent special effects, equal to anything on TNG.

[@JeanLucCaptain]

Damn that D7 looks AMAZING!!!

[@jackmort3938]

Thank you. Excellent way to start the new year.

A Vulcan doctor? Thats a very good idea.

Muy buena historia ¡¡¡¡. Ustedes lo hacen excelente, sigan haciendo más. Saludos a todos y muy feliz año nuevo .los saluda un argentino desde España

[@AkiraArashi_R]

Air and Darkness... How subtle XD When I read the title I knew it had something to do with the iconians and their gateways, Love the ship designs tho especially the d7 and I see what you did there with the Foley class lol love the Avalon universe as a wholeand can't wait to see more of it!

[@joshuairwin2016]

Thank you! Sam and I thought it would be fun to give a nod to Stewart!

[@dieseljester]

Okay, aside from the worst Klingon ground troops ever, its excellent show as your other ones. Keep up the good work! I loved seeing an homage to the canon series with the Iconians.

[@moondoggieist]

I love this series and characters! I wish you could make more and longer episodes!

[@melindamyers980]

Excellent story, acting, and effects.

[@ddmyers8361]

It was amazing loved how really all the characters felt. I felt like I was in the movie interacting with each character felt like the hole time I had goose bumps. Had 1 hick of a story love what they did at the end of the movie with the artifact very well played out.excellent story line tks for making the film happy new year all

[@lisanidog8178]

That young kid on the bridge reminds me of Wesley Crusher. Very bright. Go youth! 😅

Such a great story and I loved seeing the Federation Class dreadnought in action!

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Great job! Thank you all for your hard work.

[@Jerkwad152]

Either the Klingon captain is way more hardcore than all those other fools, or Ramirez can't throw a punch to save his life XD

[@lisanidog8178]

Yeah, Klingon, you don’t mess with her!

[@terryrose4804]

As Mac's World would say "Vulcan salute! Vulcan salute!" Thanks for the link Trey!

Excellent, the iconian gateway. Surprised by the 31st century in Discovery they haven't figured it out yet.

[@akesha4138]

Good story-line very enjoyable well worth watching.

[@Jack_Stafford]

FOLEY CLASS !!!! This is so well done, it's almost an insult to say "it's better done than current Trek" since current Trek is soo bad. Thank you for paying homage to Captain Foley!

[@carltonbakerii8274]

A rousing episode! I loved the callback to the TNG episode's theme of conflict between desire for discovery and fear of perverting the Iconian tech. Very well done Avalon folks!

[@ChristinaMoore79]

I have so been looking forward to something new from you guys, and you did not disappoint! What a great story about the ethics behind discovering advanced tech and the ramifications of using it. Well done!

[@rjonboy7608]

You mean this gem isn't pilot for a new Star Trek TV series? It should be. 😁👍👍

[@grgaassc]

Wow! A great film! I love how you reconciled the inconsistency between DS9 and TNG with the dampening field.

[@StarshipValiant]

Great work everyone involved. Congrats for completing another project and full speed ahead in this New Year.

[@vanceamania]

It was a great watch

[@bryangl1]

Thank you, this is SO good. And the fight scenes (often the one point of weakness in these films) work quite well. The philosophical concepts, the main theme here, are well-displayed and leave the viewer thinking about possible consequences to our society now if such a discovery was made. Not just escapist fun - but then that can so often be said about the world of Star Trek!

[@avalonuniverse6327]

Bryan, thank you for your kind words!

[@paulhunter6742]

This was very well written story, contains just enough action to fit into storyline. I also liked how Klingon wanted use Iconian technology for conquest. While Starfleet Captain made wise choice to keep technology secret including from Starfleet

[@mgmail8123]

Fantastic job! Great production values, loved the story I thought the Klingons were done very well. In my opinion this is true Star Trek compared to the current offerings from the 'professional' studios, thank you for all your hard work and dedication and please make more! The CGI effects of the Ships-top notch!
