Star Trek Deception 2 - A Star Trek Fan Film

[@GeetSivananthan]

Good plot, great Klingon performances!

[@drawnhere]

Ricky Huggins is a joy to watch... Awesome job....

[@VOYAGERNCC]

Glad to see an Excelsior class starship still in action

[@pike100]

I have always disliked the appearance of the Excelsior-class vessels. The front portion of the secondary hull has always looked bloated to me.

[@Bobajobimus]

Well done to all involved. This feels like the start of a great star trek story line! I hope to see more from you.

[@mikeyjames1000]

1:23 Klingon with a British accent lol. Very well made its because of fans like you guys trek will live on forever inspiring the NEXT GENERATION lol see what i did there you dont have to look hard for that DISCOVERY omg im lame 🖖

[@LGranthamsHeir]

I assume the actor who played Klingon is Shakespeare-trained like Sir Patrick Stewart? 😊😊

[@markbishop9743]

An exceptional effort my congratulations to the entire cast and crew. I'd love to see about a hundred more episodes or a feature-length film whichever comes first

[@JosephWiess]

I really enjoyed the reference to King Edward I. (Aka....Longshanks.)

[@JackPonissi]

Fantastic episode, even better than the first one. The bridge set is really impressive too.

[@wjckc79]

This is especially well done. I'm super impressed. On the one hand I am thinking I would watch this as a series. But on the other, I expect CBS will have this swatted in to time.

[@bagofalltrades9044]

Quite refreshing.

Good job. Really enjoyed this

Better than most fan films. I'm pretty sure I heard a Scottish Klingon though, I'm supposing his name was M'kormok.

[@enlighted101]

He was a Geordy :)

[@jdraver]

aye man got to love them geordie klingons we do get aboot like ha

[@LGranthamsHeir]

A Scottish translation of M'artok?? :)

[@frankfanuzzi8395]

A Scottish Klingon?? If so he sure would love destroying a ship called USS Longshanks in the name of Robert the Bruce or William Wales.LOL...Longshanks ?... really, may as well call a ship Napoleon or Genghis Khan...maybe in the ISS fleet!! Well done though..

[@frankfanuzzi8395]

oops.. Wallace not Wales ...sorry

[@ussatlas]

A great film, I really enjoyed it. Thanks to the crew and cast. Hopefully we'll see more Star Trek from you.

[@JaySheer]

Not bad. The eyeglasses were a little weird but what the hell....a good story

[@gamiensrule]

Whew! That's alot of Brits on a single Starship!! Hahaha. This was very well done, btw. I'm usually not into these fan Star Trek productions but I was very impressed with the sets, CG, script, and overall production. The acting was pretty good for a fan film as well. My only criticism is to think about how people talk and interact. Most of the time we don't speak or reply immediately. There are subtle pauses (sometimes not so subtle) all the time. It brings more tension and believability. Yes, it would have increased the run-time a bit, but I for one wouldn't have minded. Oh, and uh.... CBS called. They said to #ceaseAndDesist

[@RetroBerner]

This is really good, it would be even better with some more post production like removing the echo and leveling out the commander's mic. Thank you, it was very entertaining.

[@raymondstpaul4913]

I agree a little more money for the sets an effects would improve the short fan film but I wonder about them getting a notice from Paramount/CBS they tend to be sue happy these days against fans of the franchise.

[@willtabacchi1408]

Yes -don't these video makers preview their own creations for too much background noise?

[@akeel_1701]

@@raymondstpaul4913 As long as it's less than 15mins they'll leave them alone

[@SAhmonFox]

@@willtabacchi1408 Not everybody has the technical know-how to fix these problems. A lot of the minutia of film making isn't common knowledge. A lot of fan films would benefit greatly from an ADR session, a bit of foley, or original musical composition. Sadly, while amateur CGI and cinematographers make fan films amateur sound engineers generally tend to go into music.

[@wellingtonsmith4998]

well, that was fun. thank-you for all the hard work.

[@onidaaitsubasa4177]

Good show, really well done, but the Captain's chair seems to lack something, maybe needs some display screens or something. Hmm the chairs that all the streamers seem to have would be a good Captain's chair.

[@rrobinson001]

You know this was not to bad. I agree with a lot that if the production was a bit higher this would be spot on but for what it is they did a damn good job. The Captain seems a bit to chill to tell the truth while everyone seems have more emotions. What cracks me up is this is like giving CBS the middle finger and saying look we played by your rules, did the episode in 15 min, told a good story and put out a better episode then you have with your big budget.

[@airesdarkvanlore3074]

Not bad, however speaking on behalf of Paramount, hereby order you to cease your efforts in making enjoyable fan films!! We do not like fan creativity or talent or anything to the nature that makes people wonder why fans can often put on a better show or storyline than we can as a big studio......stop it.

[@k.k.9800]

There was only a few things that really stuck out with me but otherwise it was pretty decent for a fan film! The details on the LCARS panels were pretty clear, as well as the captain's thread on her sleeve, the LT with the glasses (which I assume in the 24th Century is purely aesthetic? One scene the captain's combadge was on one side of her uniform a couple of seconds later it was on the right side of the uniform... Several actors stood out to me such as the commander and the two helm officers and the LT Miller? (the one who survived from the runabout) The Captain seemed a bit 2D to me. Looking forward to Deception 3! :D

[@DLJohnsonHonourofKings]

I thought a Excelsior class bridge would be much bigger than a shuttle cabin.

[@k.k.9800]

Well...SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!! hah

[@DLJohnsonHonourofKings]

@@k.k.9800 Did you see her command collar buttons go from one side to the other too? I had to laugh but you have to give them an A for effort. Way better than STD (Spore Trek Disease)

[@CaptainM792]

One of the scene was probably reversed

[@k.k.9800]

@@CaptainM792 if that was true then everything would be reversed, not only her combadge.

[@quoniam426]

Ha I'm sure the only reason the Vorch'as fired on the birds of prey was because the accepted to surrender. No true honorable Klingon would do such a thing.

[@DougChatham]

The Vorch'as fleet was showing mercy. Klingon mercy. :)

[@TheTattorack]

Ship graphics, really good. Story, rather interesting and I'd love to see more. Acting, could be waaaayyy better. Voice audio, terrible.

[@alanstein9901]

this is a really really good movie it should also be made into a tv serious too you guys did a great job kudos to you

[@robertwheeler5125]

When some fans who would consider themselves to be diehard fans pan a fan production because it not professional or it just isn't right... I ask them to show me their own production and all they have is opinions and not very useful ones. Someone will always look down because they can not do it.... and they feel inferior so they have to try to feel important. the trek losers. I like this and they are very few fan treks I hate.

[@ruwn561]

Quite good. In fact very good.

[@DKGCustom]

oh dear....

Ok there are sound issues and a little bit of overacting by some of the actors but from my point of view this is a very high quality film! Thanks so much for sharing your work! I love it - as it represents and honours what Star Trek means to me. Great job folks! Very well done indeed!

[@ussarng4649]

I checked on your channel to see your fan films .... humm, I guess you haven't posted yet.

[@kurtb8474]

My issues with most new Trek productions is the lack of acting. I think the folks playing the Captain and the others on the bridge could have projected more drama. All they did was talk their lines.

[@DafterThings]

I enjoyed the story. The effects and set were good. Maybe the acting could have been taken up a notch but, overall, a great job.

[@Tomomoto9000]

We all know CBS will stop this fan made production soon because they have no respect for the fandom.

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

This production is high-quality and extremely well done. My Compliments and SUBSCRIBED!

[@KerbalSpaceCommand]

Better than Discovery

[@psecdocumentary]

Pretty good except for two small details. The first officer's audio seems somewhat distorted. Noticeably different when he speaks than when any other officer does. As if his audio was on one entirely different sound file, and everyone else's on another. Very strange. Second, the bridge seemed far too small to be an Excelsior Class Star Ship. Other than that, it was pretty good. The space battle effects were definitely professional and done properly.

[@daniel.u.thibault]

Pretty good. As usual in Star Trek, the astronomical nature of nebulae is completely misunderstood and misrepresented. What we had here were the outer layers of a gas giant. The stuff is way, way, way too dense for an actual nebula. This bugs me because I'm an astronomer.

[@vampiric4real]

1000 percent better than STD

[@aoldham29]

Guys this was FANTASTIC! Well done! I'm sooooo impressed with this effort. I loved it! I'm a 3D Artist myself and I thoroughly enjoyed this. What I really loved was you guys built physical sets in a small space available and weren't in the least ashamed of that. I'm so happy you guys didn't let your limitations stop you! I soooo thoroughly enjoyed this! Please please make more. I will faithfully watch. (Oh and as to the acting. Ok its not the best but you know what? The care and heart that went into this visually as well as narratively totally outwayed any short comings from people who aren't seasoned thespians. I totally didn't care AT ALL!!!! Keep up the good work!!!)

[@righteousham]

The Excelsior class, such grace and elegance, perhaps not the glory posting it once was but a more beautiful design Starfleet has never produced. The movie was good too. :)

[@Shortsircut1]

Thank you all for the time, effort, money, heart and soul it took to make this fan film! A great job and many thanks, keep up the great work!

[@vortexgen1]

That was pretty good and had a good plot.

[@Custom09]

millions of dollars and CBS can't make a star trek nearly as good as a fan film made with peanuts.This short film is actually really good.

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

really good

[@bobspeigel9455]

Custom09, yes agreed! It is good.

[@Artifactsofmars]

CBS does Star Trek for political purposes, not for entertainment. They don't know how to entertain any more.

[@onidaaitsubasa4177]

@Mr A Productions You mean Tardigrades right? The show based on that Tardigrade indie game huh?

[@onidaaitsubasa4177]

@@Artifactsofmars I think if they would have just named the show Tardigrades and left Star Trek out of it, I think it would have been a good show, but instead of making a deal and pay some royalties to the developer of the game they would rather try to pass it off as a Star Trek show, I guess they think everyone is stupid, then they write the Tardigrade out of the show so they can avoid more legal trouble, even though the Tardigrade was one of the most interesting things on the show. So they base a show on a game about Tardigrades and then put the Tardigrade out of the show, so now what? How will season 2 ever be better than the first? Actually I know how they could have really made it really interesting. Season 1 ends where they get lost, well they could have made them get lost in the past somewhere in the Delta quadrant in a strange part of space. The doctor still is out of it from the spatial jump, the entire crew starts having trouble concentrating on things and they don't know if it's from the jump or some other anomaly. The only one not affected is the cyborg girl because of the cybernetic components in her brain. So as the crew starts to turn more and more into babbling idiots the engineer creates some devices which will connect everybody's mind to the cyborg girl so she can help bring order to everyone's minds. So they slip into a type of hive mind and continue to try to find a way back because another jump will kill the doctor. So they travel all around a part of the Delta quadrant meeting different races, having a few battles, and the find that being connected actually helps them do their tasks and battles better. Towards the end of the season they find a race that uses an advanced form of medical nanites for healing and repair to damaged organs. So they think that a modified version of the nanites might help the doctor to make the jump without harm. The doctor now with the modified nanites find that they make him feel better almost euphoric. He expresses concern about the others possibly having more negative effects from another jump and says they should all get injected with the nanites, so they do and prepare for the jump back home. As they are about to jump the nanites have some kind of electromagnetic reaction with the interface and the shore drive overloads and explodes, and that the end of season 2.

[@vonnshlabbah]

And all fan made productions have better plots than the jj vrap.

That was a really great video great sound effects & the ships looked totally amazing great job

Watched it 3 time's now begging you to make more please😇

[@calanon534]

This is amazing. I can't even begin to imagine what you and your people could do with access to the real props, sets, and other things. I'm beyond amazed at what fans continue to do after CBS ruined Trek.

[@abooooff]

The com badges switching back and forth was a funny continuity error,and from my memory I've never seen anyone in the 24th century wear glasses lol. But overall well made.

[@MichaelStephenLordReserei1987]

They only look like glasses. It's actually an Augmented Reality Condensed Holographic InterfaceE (or ARCHIE). Hey, it's a fan-film, they can have non-canon tech.

[@captainhunt]

Nice to finally see the continuation of this series. I'm intrigued by this ending now. Makes me wonder if there is an plan for an third episode???

[@halodoomplayer]

Another fun and entertaining video. Congratulations. I also see the panel lighting issue was resolved!

[@TheJustUsLeague]

Yellow nail polish on the Captain, comm badges and rank jumping all over their uniforms and eyeglasses being worn. Aside from these three errors this fan film was pretty damn good, glad to see them use a ship besides the usual Sovereign or Galaxy class like all the others.

[@kronnickusrex7832]

Awesome! Made my day.

[@camb99]

Amazing film once again! Well worth the wait and the sets look so good. Was cool to see more of the crew as well, and also nice plot-twists again, might there be another part to the story in the future?

@Leo Tierney - Finally a male Vulcan with long hair , I like that! (the last time a vulcan had long hair was femal Lt. Savik in Star Trek 3 on Admiral Kirk´s 1701-Refit) ... We had already black Vulcans like Tuvok , but all male were short haired (ok Spock had just shoulder length hair in the beginning of Star Trek 1: The Motion Picture")

[@StarshipValiant]

Excellent work everyone. We really enjoyed this adventure. Please keep more episodes coming. Thank you all.

[@GeorgeNoX]

when fan films looks better then the stuff that CBS puts out (looking at you Discovery)

[@williammallon4190]

Sweet! Creative juices flowing around the roadblocks from those idiots at CBS. BUT...Audio issues you've already heard, and that itty-bitty bridge. And the uniforms-while beautifully made-need filling. Wesley Crusher had rubber muscles under his suit. Daisy Duke's t-shirts were stapled tight. And really...TWATSPOON?!?

[@abrahkadabra9501]

Not bad at all for a fan film. 👍

[@sam17101]

THIS WAS AMAZING! Star Trek as I grew up with it! Your group SHOULD be allowed to make a series of this. I would love to see an ongoing series about this ship and its crew!

[@aaronlewis848]

super impressed by the production but as can be expected certain things stick out like a sore thumb. Firstly, casting was way off, like waaaaay off (the captain especially- painfully terrible). Same actors, different roles, problem solved. Too much Britain, I'm British so much love on that front, but the united federation of planets is made up of all human cultures and federation allied alien species. The acting's cheesy anyway (to be expected so its not a dig) so throw in one american, maybe a Russian or some European accents somewhere and just one other alien on the bridge would have been a nice touch. Great set in general, but you could have done a little bit of cheap modding to the office chair (captains chair). Awesome cgi so no complaints there considering the perceived budget. I have one issue with the story line, Klingons would not show mercy or offer the chance to leave. They would have boarded the vessel, taken prisoners and the ship as bounty in the name of the klingon empire. Sorry to nit pick but if your going to use the franchise you gotta get it right. Other than that i really enjoyed it so massive thumbs up from me ;)

[@traviseibel1824]

Thoroughly enjoyed Parts 1 & 2. Looking forward to Part 3 and beyond!!!

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Excellent fan production! Better than most Trek episodes I've seen since "Voyager" went off the air in 2001. Hope there'll be a sequel to this!!

[@TakeBushOut]

well, ummm oo k i guess.....but if this is an excelsior class starship, why is the bridge the size of a closet? lol....and the one officer wearing glasses? lol....no glasses in that time period anymore, and whats with the walmart brand, wrinkly uniforms?

[@paulhunter1525]

This fan film extremely good, the audio was bit tinny, but overall excellent. Am sorry to say I thought woman plays captain seem bit too young for part.

[@RobertWoodman]

Good story. Good film effects. The acting could be a bit better. The actors are not entirely convincing as Federation officers. Still, thank you, and I look forward to more.

[@Daveyk021]

A rectangular bridge? They would of had to have seen the large lumps in the black duct tape that held the bridge set together. The Vulcan's ears without blending makeup on the back side. Then don't film a closeup on the backside of the vulcan's head. It wasn't that bad of a film, but they could have been a lot more careful in some aspects.

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

This wasn't as tight a story as part 1 but it's good to see the continuation of the tale. The reveal at the end promises many interesting things! If I could change anything it would be the wide shot of the bridge, as it reveals the limitations of the size of the set. This is an Excelsior class, after all! Keeping only one wall visible would infer a far greater size bridge than what was actually built. Other than that the production design was excellent and is an excellent contribution to the adventures in the 24th century

[@sharpo]

Congrats! You've captured the essence.

[@johnleport9352]

Not bad, Bridge is small for a ship that size and miss Leila can be seen reading her lines from somewhere off camera. However, overall not bad at all just think if you had some more $$$

[@jimcheck1080]

Am I the only one who noticed the Captain's rank insignia switched sides. Otherwise we'll done for an amateur short film.

[@bandersen1315]

Really good job. Enjoyable. Strong performances. Pity about the echo. Redub?

Another great show but (my bias) a weak actress as Captain. The Lt is also weak and wearing glasses? In the future?

It was a little unexpected to see a vulcan with a ponytail (seems illogical), but he played the role well, regardless. Nice to see a good fan film!
