Star Trek Deception 2 - A Star Trek Fan Film

[@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.

[@GeetSivananthan]

Good plot, great Klingon performances!

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

Lol the poor lieutenant keeps getting left in the dark in both films. Good stuff

[@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.

[@JaySheer]

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

[@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.

[@lukematthews1442]

Tractor beam to deflect the torpedoes? Nice move, not sure if I’ve seen that in Trek before but I like it

[@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.

[@vonnshlabbah]

This is what is pushing off the scum at cbs...the various fan made productions have almost always more heart and almost always better stories.

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

[@traviseibel1824]

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

[@ruwn561]

Quite good. In fact very good.

[@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!

[@StarshipValiant]

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

[@akesha4138]

Really wonderful production, impressive, would like this to be regular series.

[@mr_e_monkey8836]

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!

[@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!

[@Jennifur68]

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

[@christiangomez2100]

This was really good!!! Loved this short!!! Also love the actors. Please more!!!

[@shadow2010shadow2010]

better than many original episodes

[@vortexgen1]

That was pretty good and had a good plot.

[@wellingtonsmith4998]

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

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

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

[@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!!!)

[@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

[@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.

[@georgemartin1436]

This is a good quality production. The officer.....he was wearing glasses......it's like a red shirt....

[@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.

[@ussatlas]

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

[@madcapmagician3130]

Lt Verity Twatspoon....omg that's hilarious. Great job to all involved.

[@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.

[@altha-rf1et]

Another good fan made series, A lot better then Discovery

[@saleendriver]

I'm guessing Part 2 isn't the final episode.............nice work.

[@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

[@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? 😊😊

[@Killerspieler0815]

@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")

[@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

[@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!!

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Corny83]

A Romulan Spy? Mhh... that sounds for a part 3 :-)

[@imaantagonist6322]

I really enjoyed this. Could watch more.

[@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. :)

[@halodoomplayer]

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

[@christiangomez2100]

Awesome job!! Loved your little Star Trek short, please make another one. Looking forward for more adventures with Captain Castile and her intrepid crew! 🙂🤓🖖🏼

[@robertturner9804]

Intriguing. More, please.

[@altha-rf1et]

Look like the size of a cargo container converted to a bridge nice job

[@lionelwolf-guard3093]

Nicely done!

[@matthewstreets9662]

Awesome work on Star Trek: Deception 2.

[@esecallum]

It was awesome.this is how star trek should look and feel like instead of AWFUL CRAP STD.well done.i loved pinched nostril female captain...she is GREAT and the number 2 guy as well.

[@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

[@Lord_Shadowz]

I really enjoyed this!

[@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.

[@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.

[@mikeyjames1000]

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

[@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)

One of the scene was probably reversed

[@k.k.9800]

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

I'll say it... that acting could certainly use improvement. But I saw what was done with the set designs, and I was impressed with the work that went into that for such a small space.

I enjoyed this video. It's better than some professional productions. It shows what can be done when people genuinely love their project. Live long and prosper.

[@privatecaboose250]

Sorry but the professionals actually do it better, you know why? they have the money to do it This production is low budget It does not matter if the people does this love the project, if they don't have the money, the production is poor, not their fault

[@KerbalSpaceCommand]

The problem with modern trek is the high budgets, they attract the wrong kind of people that aren't in it because they love the franchise. That's the reason modern trek has become garbage.

[@privatecaboose250]

Kerbal Space Command Like it or not, It needs new ppl, otherwise Franchise is dead, CBS won't run a franchise that does not make money That does not make any sense at all, If Star Trek Fans don't love the franchise, then you are not a Star Trek fan.

[@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.

[@emrad9595]

One poster commented about the Excelsior class ship and her conspicuously small bridge... I think I may have spotted why... is that the same set re-dressed and used for the Klingon bridge? ...With a couple panels and back-lighted display gels changed out? Great slight of hand, nice work! Now that's what I call resourceful!
