Cookin With Gas - A Pony R. Horton Film

[@MrSpeed-yu4cf]

I don't care if it's 11 years old, still one of my favorite fan films. Dead sexy glamor shots (too good to be called beauty shots),The easter eggs are the decorative icing especially the Jar Jar-prise in the scrap yard, all with more personality than anything craped out by the big budgets at paramount to date.

[@dreamscape9295]

1:09 Those nacelles... nice diss, and great attention to detail in general! Plenty of awesome things and references to look at!

[@vengeance1701]

I really love seeing the warp drives come on. The effect showing the activation of the spinning rotors was great. And the look of the impulse engines was fantastic.

[@frankberst9849]

The classic original Enterprise NCC-1701 is still, and always will be, the best - the true gold standard.

[@LadyMaskPain]

I agree. She is always my fist true love

[@otterqueer]

TOS Enterprise was a classic, but TMP Enterprise cannot be matched.

Agree to disagree, TMP Enterprise will always have my heart.

[@glennlaroche1524]

Watching this when it's a little over six years old--still awesome. More Easter eggs than....well, something with a ton of Easter eggs lolz. Love the Space:1999 Eagle, among many, many others. "Ohhhhh, crap...." is classic.

This is one of the most beautiful exhibitions of the original Enterprise ever executed.

[@viciouspoodle5543]

For many, many years, I have been saying, it would be really nice to see the Original Enterprise get filmed exactly like the movie Enterprise with the self-illumination and dramatic angles! Well, last night, KZbin gave me this video and I was absolutely blown away!! This was amazing! I can't believe this has been out for seven + years! I always thought the 1st Enterprise was the BEST Enterprise. The people who redid the TV show effects could learn a lot from this video. The angles were breathtaking! Great job, PonyHorton and kudos for also having some fun, too!!!!

[@PonyHorton]

Thank you mucho!!!

For a total (star)ship nerd like myself, this video was just heaven. (And you all obviously feel the same way). Thank you so much for all the love and respect, humor and attention to detail in this work. Bravo!

[@lelandframe6927]

LOVED that "Eagle"! Nice little tribute to Space: 1999! :)

[@55Quirll]

I was wondering who else would recognize that from Space: 1999. A good show for its day - not believable - very good effects and plots. I liked the shape changing alien they brought in I believe in Season 2.

[@tarzan8575]

[@jimgilbert9984]

I sometimes miss Moon Base Alpha. I remember going to see Gene Roddenberry when he went on tour and gave a monolog, like it was a concert. He always ended the talk by showing the original blooper reel. I loved how it ended, with a train engineer shoveling coal into the Enterprise's engine.

[@paulmoechner8888]

this was so good that halfway through I had to remind myself this was a fan made video. We star trek fans are putting out better content than the official stuff now, lol!

[@chrismayer3919]

Sweet vignette.. Loved d Eagle..you gave d Enterprise something no one thought of..a Beauty Launch...loved d reflection of the Enterprise on the spacewalker's helmet..also his juxtaposition gave a sense of scale to the Ship.. Breathtaking...

[@davidwiddowson8890]

Very clever and brilliantly funny. I don't know how you got Tim Russ involved, but for him to call the Enterprise "The old girl" was pure comedy irony. I love it! :)

[@filthycasual8187]

@SpaceAce100 He wasn't the only one. Almost every mainline captain has done the one-quarter impulse power out the doors.

[@chuckintexas]

Now THAT was FUN ! I _LOVE_ seeing The TOS Enterprise ! And the easter eggs were a HOOT ! What a fine tribute to True-Trek and Culture ! ❤ !

[@coloradospacegeek4226]

Love the homages to Apollo, "Space: 1999", and Chesley Bonestall at the beginning. The images of the other Enterprises were nice but it's great to see the old girl in her glory -- no bloody -A, -B, -C, or -D! Great job incorporating voices and imagery of the REAL crew!

[@ronaldmcreynolds7345]

If someone had told me when I was young and watch TOS that I'd see this on something called the internet on something called KZbin using something called a personal computer, I'd have said something to them related to the funny farm. Now, I just sit back and smile. I love Roddenberry trek.

[@paulettys6]

I was always thinking that can you imagine the look of a kids face from the '50s or 60s if they were able to travel to the present time to see shows like Star Trek the Next Generation and other shows like that and compare it to the old space shows of that time.

[@w9gb]

retiredatlast - Roddenberry got to make “Next Generation” and see cellular phones shrink to communicator size (2G era).

[@DrFrankNStein-sf2ww]

Oh, there was WAY more. The "Eagle" from the first manned moon landing at the beginning, "The Captains Table" with wooden doors (at 0:29), the "Gunstar" from the movie The Last Starfighter (at 0:31), the big lamp from the Drydock from Star Trek 1&2 and the lower end of the spacedock (upside down) from Star Trek 3 (at 0:59) ... The list goes on ! I absolutely LOVE this video !

[@CameronDuBeers]

A delightful and entertaining film short. I've been watch Star Trek since it first aired and this short brought me a smile.

[@HPaulHonsinger]

Very clever. This film is a basket overflowing with more pretty little Easter eggs than I've ever seen in one place before. You almost want to go through it frame by frame to pick them all out. I'm particularly fond of McCoy's "Major Award" and the takeoff strip having an Interstate 10 road sign painted on it.

[@ponyhorton4295]

My favorite one is the Hadley-Appenine National Forest. I grew up hiking in Angeles National Forest, and I loved doing that moment. The Apollo 15 mission may be my favorite. Hadley Rille, baby!

[@Bill23799]

Wow this film was awesome on many levels. Great tribute to the Apollo landings and Space: 1999. Was that a JJ Enterprise I saw in the Pick your part space ship junkyard? haha Nice mention of ( Chelsey ) Bonestell the well know artist who painted so many incredible space scenes found in so many great scifi films. Haha Mr Scott had spotters to verify each warp engine had started up. Can you imagine what an enemy would think when it scans the exterior of the Enterprise and they see we use the leg of an enemy to make a lamp out of? Oh and NEVER press the flashing red indicator button that says ABORT.

[@aw3752]

Holy hell. That was brilliant!! Beautiful!! Seeing the original Enterprise so lovingly rendered with such precision and love. And the new lighting just gave her that extra pop she always needed. Almost made me cry. Thank you so much for the time and massive effort you and your team put into this. And thank you for the respect you paid to cannon. As a 50 year Star Trek fan, I am sickened by the direction Discovery has taken the franchise. This film gives me hope that fans like you might still somehow be able to inspire and influence CBS to restore Trek to the glory it once had. Please make more of these. It’s like water to a man in the desert. We fans all over the world need this!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

[@ponyhorton4295]

Thanks so much! There was really no team, just myself creating the movie. Of course, I certainly had help from my friends who appear in Voice Over, such as James Cawley, Homer Hickam, Ralph Miller, Tim Russ, Ken Smith, and Randall Libero. Regarding DISCOVERY, we'll have to agree to disagree. I am a TREK fan since I first started watching in 1966 at age 8, and I first began my VFX career at Van der Veer Photo Effects in 1978 working under Hugh Wade, the man who created the actual sparkle effects from the Transporters in the 1960's, and I LOVE Discovery! TREK need not slavishly follow the canon we've seen so far to still be TREK. Give it a chance. It's worth it.

That is how the Enterprise looked in ST-TMP when she was finishing up in dry dock. Wouldn't that be something if they started each new series of Star Trek with the Starship as she was coming out of Space Dock, having a good long look? That was the best part of ST-TMP.

No matter how advanced starships may become, nothing will ever replace a Constitution Class Starship - Except perhaps a refit. One thing they must never do though is ever get rid of the Captains chair from the Original Constitution Class, that is what makes it unique. Better than the Excelsior Class, Ambassador Class - Though it bore more of a resemblance to the Constitution Class - Galaxy Class and Sovereign Class. None can hold a candle to a Constitution Class.
