"Eye of the Tempest" A Star Trek Fan Production

This is the new version of the film that I originally released in 2015. For the most part, it is the same as it was, with the change of some of the music to original music. This is technically the first Fan film I completed.
The story takes place after the Phase 2 episode, "Kitumba," ( • Star Trek New Voyages,... ) and before the episode "Mind Sifter" ( • Star Trek New Voyages:... ) A related side story that takes place at the same time as this story is "Patterns of Destruction," ( • STE - Patterns of Dest... ) by Starship Eagle.

Oh, this was so good! Now it's time for the Salidin and the Aqueous to get Wainright back!

[@kunserndsittizen2655]

Looks better than what CBS digital did

[@vinceburgess9012]

Nice to see a Saladin class starstp for a change

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thanks! More to come!

[@GeorgeKayaian]

Loved seeing this again, Kenneth! I was very honored to be a part of this production. Your amazing work and characters continue to inspire. Proud of you, as always, my friend!

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thrilled to have been able to do a real crossover with you, George! Looking forward to the next one!

[@GeorgeKayaian]

@@kenneththomson5120 Yes-- definitely-- and I as well!

[@FPjr-filkferretproductions]

EXCELLENT :) great film, Ray and George :)

[@wtfurball]

Well done! Beautifully executed on most levels. As an old school Trek fan all I would ask is that fan film get away from the pew-pew conflicts and show more interesting exploration stories. I know battles are exciting, but it's become so cliché. GREAT combo of live action and CGI! Sets, uniforms, and backgrounds: beautiful!!! The cast plays their parts very well and give a realism to the OG series! Bottom line: VERY FUN to watch, and I want MORe

[@Raymar3d]

There was a reason for the battle at the beginning that is revealed at the end of the film. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to make it. :)

[@brian_belmont87]

You guys did such a great job on this, a lot of passion on this project. Cheers from Reykjavik, Iceland.

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thank you! Greetings from Texas!

[@50043211]

I see that you people had a lot of fun.

[@kenneththomson5120]

We did! I hope you enjoyed it!

[@sidbomby]

I LOVE this!! Fantastic job by everyone!

[@Raymar3d]

Thank you very much! :)

[@barryon8706]

It was nice to see the life-support belts. 😊

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thanks! It was cheaper than space suits for one, but I've always felt that TAS is canon. So I included them. :)

[@thecopycat7153]

Cool MACO shuttle craft and his uniform had an Omega symbol too that is also cool and it looks like the Klingons pulled the old bait and switch since Kore has the commodore witch is a good example of a lowdown dirty underhanded trick so thumbs to the cast and crew for their hard work on this fanfilm 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖but just remember rule of aquastion number forty eight the bigger the smile the sharper the knife!!!!!

[@alexisdespland4939]

[@ooklathemok]

This is fantastic. I love the use of the elasi pirates ship

[@Xan3119Aizen]

Wow this is so good!!! THANK YOU

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@cwill1098]

Good stuff! The shuttlecraft sound effects remind me of the Eagles from Space:1999.

[@kenneththomson5120]

Lol! Good ear!

[@tri-ox9508]

You beat me to it! ;)

[@Artifactsofmars]

Interesting and inventive rescue.

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thank you. :)

[@danielantelo-r9q]

[@LeighGurney]

Vulcan mind meddling? Good play on words.

[@BillBadMule123]

🥰😍🤩🥳❤💯💢💥💫👍👍👍

[@polsociety2012]

Hey that was really cool! I really enjoyed it! Hope to see more in the future! 🙂

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thanks! I do have more in the works! :)

[@donaldfaulkner2777]

It was a great movie. Hope to see another one! Live long and prosper.

[@michaelreed4744]

Nice film. Have you thought about submitting this idea to the CBS Network?

[@hansvandenoever4445]

Excellent! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thank you! Greetings from Texas!

[@aidankross1399]

This is my first time watching this, and for a fan made film it is very good. However an Ensign's uniform shirt has no decoration on the sleeves. Lt. Junior Grade is the small dash design, Lt is one solid stripe design, Lt. Cmdr. is a solid stripe and dash like design, Commander is 2 solid stripe design, Captain is two stripe designs and the dash design in between the two solids. I noticed the one scene where the Captain addressed an Ensign who is wearing a Lt. shirt. Apart from that very well put together.

[@kenneththomson5120]

Yeah, that was out of my control. The New York crew handled that one. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. Thank you for the feedback. :)

[@timrose9826]

This is pretty cool 😎

[@PhilDrury]

Nice work!

[@kenneththomson5120]

Thank you!

[@davemac2580]

I have one question, How does Kenneth not age after all the years I've watched his work.

[@kenneththomson5120]

Lol! This was from 2015!

[@armando3997]

It sounds like a whale but not upside down yet

[@Raymar3d]

It was the sound of a whale, slightly modified.

[@leslieephland4499]

Deep Space 3 and the Pinchot Expanse? Is anyone else familiar with the Giant Gnome audio drama series about all this?

[@kenneththomson5120]

Indeed. I also included references to the USS LIBERTY from one of their episodes. I love Outpost! 😊

[@luminousfractal420]

need to watch this with sound..surely its not called the u.s.s. salad. ..also starflake command 😂

[@fredflint5645]

Overall, it was very well done. I'm not a big fan of CGI.

[@kenneththomson5120]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. CGI is the only way I can afford to do these. Sometimes it works out better than other times, but this is just a hobby to me. Thanks for watching it!

[@kunserndsittizen2655]

Lots of head shaking

[@dennisburdick682]

Why at the beginning stardate was in the nine thousands, but at the end in the six thousands. Also, the storyline is disjointed and overly complicated. Simplify. Otherwise, good effort.

[@kenneththomson5120]

Lol, you are right about the stardate. It's a mistake because we had two different teams and I didn't catch it in the edit bay. My bad. The story does have a few loose ends that should be resolved in future stories. I will admit we could have tightened it up a bit, but... well, it's a learning experience.

[@RobertSiedentopf-nn8pn]

Oh gee to much to talk about ... Well within Star Trek idea ... on a highschool level ... 4:5 and 2:5 sound effects 0.5:5

[@centaur1a]

Lighting is not consistent between cgi and live action. If you are doing TOS series. Have to remember that the series were very low budget, so the special effects were just simple. Let the audience mind to fill in the event. Writing or acting needs some polishing.

[@Raymar3d]

Well, nothing is perfect. I made this film for less than $500 including buying a greenscreen setup. What it does reflect was nearly a year of work in my spare time. I'm okay with a few imperfections. :)

[@pike100]

​@@Raymar3d I thought that you and your team did a great job. After all, it is fan fiction.

[@davidmeltzer1871]

I think you used the music from one of the first broadcast TOS episodes with that synthesizer doing the honors. HOW did you get away with doing an hour long fan film????????? I thought that would get you sued by CBS/Paramount????????????

[@Raymar3d]

Those are guidelines. I hope it isn't a problem. I had posted this video originally in 2015, had to replace some of the music to be able to post it again. I guess we'll see.

[@Raymar3d]

Other fan films have done similar. *shrugs*

[@davidmeltzer1871]

Not for me but paramount is very territorial. If you are saying you did your episode BEFORE the guide lines that would make sense. Strange about the music cuz I watch Many fan films and they use music from the TOS shows without hesitation . And finally.....the episode I am talking about with the synthesizer was the one where a creature draws salt from humans especially a lover of McCoy.

[@davidmeltzer1871]

No I want you guys to be able to do shows to the extent YOU wish. I do recall Axanar had to scuttle their original hour episode due to Paramount insisting on time limitations. Alec Peters recently seems to be saying SOON whatever version of Axanar will be available for viewing.

[@andytomhall6006]

Why is it a virtually all woman crew?

[@kenneththomson5120]

Timing.

[@KevinBlood-p2l]

You've got to stop using sonic screwdriver frome dr who to different shows not related

[@kenneththomson5120]

Easter egg. Films do it all the time. ET's in Star Wars, etc.
