"Reciprocity" -- a Star Trek fan production

[@calanon534]

Ahahha! AWESOME! And, by God.. that was actually really good acting! See, this is what a Fan Production should aspire to be. Good story, EXCELLENT people, fantastic writing, good SFX, even music! Man, you guys are the total package!

[@beren225]

That’s high praise, thank you so much and stay tuned!

[@jnwestray78]

They have heart...and a hell of a lot of guile.

[@tomwaldenofficial]

I really like the story concept - great job

[@superboats2]

Great job everyone! I was surprised that there was a Cheronian abord since the Cheronians destroyed each other and their home planet in their race war. Star Trek TOS episode, "Let This Be Your Last Battlefield". I laughed when the Captain floored him in one punch. LOL

[@MaddestMadHatter]

I love how the Commander worded her empathic feelings.

[@beren225]

Azani is great! Thank you for the view! More to come from the Commander!

[@mrtrek2117]

Great the team went to the trouble of building physical sets, it makes such a difference. Well done!

[@andytay5507]

Well done and thought out!

[@joshuairwin2016]

Great work! Interesting concept, and a nice job on the script by Billy Swanson! Thoroughly enjoyed the film!

[@beren225]

Thank you so much! More to come!🎉

[@danielhead8123]

Very entertaining this channel has come a long way proves less is more

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

An excellent & exciting episode!! Bravo everyone

[@AndersonNeo12]

Great job, everyone 👏 ps: that Enterprise B model of the Excelsior 😊 beautiful 9:51

[@Potemkin1711]

That's presumably the Alexander, the Deimos and the Endeavour showing up at the end.

[@ryanc5572]

This was fantastic! Great to see this crew again, and I liked that a Betazoid got to really shine. Great video guys. PS the theme at the end is still as amazing as it's always been.

[@DanielVance]

I'm so happy the Captain forgot about that phaser on his side as he was being affected, else this story could have had a very different ending.

[@ChristinaMoore79]

Well done team! Glad things didn't get out of hand there. Your crew reacted well given the circumstances. On to the next adventure!

[@tomwaldenofficial]

Enjoyed watching - hope to see another episode, thanks for making. Much appreciated.

[@dougsguitarlounge7927]

Cool episode, I really liked it! 👍

[@beren225]

Thank you! More to come, so don’t be a stranger!

[@christopherholladay918]

This is very good , I enjoyed it very much, and can't wait for more. Bravo

[@zollerdon]

Great show

[@beren225]

Thank you! Stay tuned, the Adventure Continues!

[@wernerlouderback6796]

Interesting story 😊👍

[@LoreReloaded]

Is it just me.. or does the boneyard have elements from Star Trek Armada?

[@Potemkin1711]

Other than being the same ship class in a couple instances, nothing was pulled from Armada. We used ships available on-line from various 3d modelers, and Ross built his own ships in some circumstances as well.

[@LoreReloaded]

@@Potemkin1711 ahh fun.. I didn’t mean it in a negative way - just looked like it had some things from that game :)

[@Golden_Spike]

Nope. No Armada. The Trek ships are all newer models. I did use some sci-fi ship component kits from Daniel Grove to build some custom ships for the boneyard. I hadn’t thought about it, but they do look similar to the builder ships from Armada. I forgot I even snuck in a little Homeworld.

[@DMSProduktions]

Nice 1!

[@leeforeman3656]

Love the Abbe class starship. 👍

[@hahsydxhy7gh908]

That was great, thank you!

[@beren225]

Thank you so much for watching! 🖖

[@ToddHofer]

I like the concept and, I'm really impressed that you had physical sets rather than CGI. It makes a HUGE difference! One thing to note though, I don't believe it is standard practice for the bridge crew to be wearing sidearms while on the bridge. If I remember correctly from reading somewhere, it's actually against regs to do so.

[@Potemkin1711]

I'll let you address that with the captain. :)

[@beren225]

Stay tuned…

[@ToddHofer]

@@libraeotequever3pointoh95 Absolutely agree on that. I was just pointing out a basic continuity error in what SF regs state and what was presented on the bridge. I know this is only fiction so I don't take it to heart. I'm just a little too analytical and have a habit of pointing things out. :)

[@Potemkin1711]

So who can identify all the ships in the Boneyard?

[@thecopycat7153]

He has on a combadge from the twenty three seventys i just know everyone watching this will see that,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!!

[@Potemkin1711]

Yeah, I've got to get him a period appropriate one.

[@eldergroan]

YAY new Trek! 😃

[@tomwaldenofficial]

noticed the name of the ship Caliborn 02:28, very cool to give homage to the ship builder

[@deathstrike]

A Cheronian? I thought their planet was wiped out? Spock did a detailed scan when Beale attempted to take over the ship. He found large cities, but they had wiped themselves out due to incessant "racial warfare" where the dark and light sides of their faces was heavily disagreed upon. But, they seem to be an overall peaceful if a bit aggressive race. Also they do possess highly advanced stealth and warp technology. But I do wish they had really found more Cheronians. Beal and his quarry were the only two left after a 50 thousand year chase. Awesome ship though. Modified Miranda or Aries Class? And with the top pod, seems to be more warship based. But a solid and capable design. I'd like to see more of this :)

[@beren225]

The Caliborn is an Abbè class and it is a heavy bomber. There are 2 other adventures before this one with this crew, one in post production, and one in principle photography as we speak! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Potemkin1711]

There is an upcoming production which addresses Taer's background. The report of their extinction has been greatly exaggerated.

[@Mressdonna]

@@Potemkin1711 I also noticed the bridge officer from Cheron. Looking forwarding to learning his back story.

[@timothybird5817]

When viewed from one side her hair is pinned back, from the other it covers the right side of her face more. Understand it's needed due to camera angles and lighting but simplest idea, keep hair pinned.

[@jackieanderson9408]

This was sweet 🎂

[@beren225]

You are! Thank you so much!

[@jackieanderson9408]

@@beren225 Thank you.👍

[@tomwaldenofficial]

I'm assuming Security Vuli was tempted to be captain? And it came to fruition as she became "commander"?

[@darthvadersaber1]

where was this filmed at, i have seen this set used for several different starship bridges?

[@Potemkin1711]

Potemkin Pictures, Studio 4, Lexington Kentucky. This is the 4th version of the bridge set we've built.

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Beg pardon, but what class is the awesome Starfleet ship, please??

[@Potemkin1711]

The Caliborn is an Abbe-class PT Destroyer.

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

@@Potemkin1711 thank you so much

[@genostellar]

Pretty good, though I do think the acting could have seemed less forced. It seemed very much like people pretending to be the characters rather than actually being the characters. Also, the captain was crouching too much.

[@michaelreed4744]

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

[@Potemkin1711]

No, we're content making fan films and having fun doing them

[@brachiator1]

An intriguing idea, but the execution and writing could have been sharper.
