i liked the statement "That is why we all are here Matias, to learn, ." That struck a cord with me and sounds so true to the Star Trek Universe.

[@DMSProduktions]

Chord! (It's not a rope! )

[@startrekfanproductionsintl]

Vance Major recommended this film to me. It's a heart warming story and with a cool snow setting that is unusual for a fan film. Well done and enjoyable.

[@MrBadwolf72]

Vance was right-a nice reminder of strange new worlds!

[@glennmoss3285]

HAHAHA! They "racked the slide" on a phaser pistol! PRICELESS! Nice short story!

[@mikelongo5062]

Brilliant story! This production boldly went and showed us something we haven’t seen before. This is a refreshing take on what Star Trek is all about.

[@Zam_from_NerdTube]

Vance sent me and I would like to add that the Snow Blob is now my favourite creature in Star Trek Fan Films. I want a spin off show regarding his adventures.

[@beren225]

Rough acting partner, that one.

[@Telemachus2814]

YES! I have been waiting for more videos!

[@beren225]

We’ve been waiting to share! I assure you more is definitely coming up!

Everyone looked cool in their snow outfits. A unique take I haven't seen before in fan films

[@scififan90]

Outstanding work to all involved - the snow setting was especially cool - and a great reason to have the cast in masks :)

[@donaldhiles_k9sgz428]

Very cool. I got into it. Thanks. 👍

[@Atlas_System01]

I wasn’t expecting the sentient blob of snow but it was an extremely creative idea and I can imagine the captain being extremely confused when he got the report from the away team

[@Raggedymannn]

Super comment, got me to watch now instead of later, thank you 👍🖖

[@crazygalvatron7225]

Vman sent me the link, great storyline, I definitely wasn't expecting that type of life form. Always good to have a surprise in a story like that and I hope everyone had a big mug of hot chocolate after filming.

[@beren225]

Stay Tuned 😜 this was shot during a springy March day, so you’re seeing dry for wet as it were. That field was hot and golden at time of shooting, believe it or not.

[@crazygalvatron7225]

Wow, impressive camera trickery...I like that

[@Potemkin1711]

@@beren225 over in the Starship Webster Facebook group, I posted the pics of the three steps and a link to the Hitfilm instructional video.

[@andytay5507]

@@beren225 I thought so, based on how the final splotch of blood actually looked elevated over the 'snow'. But overall, fantastically realistic!

[@mikesarno7973]

Good story. It was enjoyable to watch. Thanks for making and uploading!

[@williamwells8331]

Vance want me to check this out. Great story and awesome fan film!

[@AndrewOrtwein]

Great production! And extra 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to whoever painstakingly did all that mask work to get the snow affect without losing the uniform colors. That is some dedication right there!

[@davemac2580]

Well done!

[@joshuairwin2016]

Cool stuff! This one looks like it was a lot of fun to make. Always good to try something new and different!

Nice, thanks for sharing.

[@lezliesawyer5930]

You're friendly neighborhood Vman (Vance) sent me and I'm so glad he did. I really enjoyed the story and the message. I also liked how you made the blob look with the ppl inside it. Well done all.

[@beren225]

Thank you! Excited to share more very soon!

[@bryangarton2859]

good video😎😎

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

A very different type of encounter and story. Good job all!

[@barryon8706]

I'd've shot too. But that's because I'm in the northeast, it's finally April, and I've had enough of snow. 😊 That was a nice little episode, thank you.

[@thecopycat7153]

First the Sentient blob of snow kind of reminds me of Armus the malevolent entity created by the inhabitants of Viagra two. second this is a reminder that looks can be deciving. Third you all did a very job on this fan film. Forth and last it also reminds us we can't judge a book by it's cover,lol🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@Trekyardswebseries]

Interesting! By the way Vance Major Owen sent us! Love the rifle.

[@beren225]

Hawk has an affinity for his rifle. There’s a Rio Bravo comparison to be made there-My Rifle, My Shuttlecoupe, and Me.

[@Raggedymannn]

Super job by all, amazing the stories created and enacted magically creating magic in the finish, sentient snow blob, right up there with The Chronicles of Lanclos, Sepulchure , The Gift and others you good folks created, thank you so much for your love and sharing to others love here🖖

[@wernerlouderback6796]

[@Lyraa357]

Fantastic story and visual effects and you guys did it in so little time. Thank you! I would love to see more tales and maybe a follow up episode to find out more info about this new life form!

[@FPjr-filkferretproductions]

Randy and team this came out great :) I know how many hours you put into the snow scenes, and it was well done. Great job Potemkin Pictures, proud to call you friends :)

[@andytay5507]

'Set phasers to melt'. Hilarious! You may now drop the mic!

[@Potemkin1711]

If you look at Madigan behind Reinertsen, you'll see she agrees with him.

[@cousincheeto5345]

The Stan Lee of Fan Films Captain Minard sent me and I have to say that this fan film has a different athetotic to normal trek, like the ice planet in Star Trek 2009 it is different and a interesting plot, Loved the Starship USS Webster, what class is it? it looks like a Miranda class with an Excelsior era look. Keep up the good work.

[@Potemkin1711]

Webster is a Centaur-class starship.

[@Atlas_System01]

Also as the creators of the episode what would you do if you saw a blob of snow moving towards you?

[@beren225]

Hold my fire…at first😜

[@cedarledgepublishing]

Ha...you got me. At the start of the film I believed they were really on location until later when I looked closer LOL. The alien creature effects appeared lifted right out of the 1970's LAND OF THE LOST and I love it! Side note: Will Leslie Lewis be returning to PP? Her and Kristin Woods were the standouts in the sprawling casts.

[@Potemkin1711]

Christin directed Act I of the upcoming Project: Potemkin episode, and may return for future films. Leslie had some health problems, and I'm unsure if she's able to return to filming at this time.

[@cedarledgepublishing]

@@Potemkin1711 I'm sorry to hear that about Leslie. I was a huge fan since her finest performance in LADIES NIGHT. As for Ms Woods if she went behind the camera sneaking in some sort of cameo would have been great.

[@lawneymalbrough4309]

It's a bit. Short. Even for a short story.

[@randylanders3741]

Naw, any more and it would've been unnecessarily padded.
