Star Trek: Deception - A Fan Film

Star Trek: Deception is a short fan-film being created by a group of friends whom all have one thing in common, a love of science fiction, namely Star Trek.
This film follows two Starfleet officers aboard a Danube Class Runabout, transporting a Klingon prisoner to a detention centre, only to be ambushed by a Klingon Bird of Prey that had been lying in wait.

The Klingon was excellent, just like one off of the TV. Well done guys.

[@BolianAdmiral]

I have to say, this was certainly one of the better efforts I've seen to date... the acting was good enough to get the job done... not bad at all, but also not over-acted, either. I think both actors did a great job! Your color filter was spot-on... the colors of the uniforms were true and vibrant, and the Runabout cockpit set was extremely good for a short fanfilm like this... I also thought that the Klingon makeup was absolutely astounding, again, for a fanfilm... it was truly on the same level of quality as the Klingon makeups we saw on TNG and DS9... great job, all around! Please make some more!

[@eleridgemccracking4575]

Not a bad fan film. decent graphics and good story line.

[@PaulHarrell]

Damn! this was good. To the point, great special effect, Fairly good acting, nice video.

[@Lyraa357]

The Klingons was so on point in appearance and demeanor. I enjoyed the humor and the plot.

[@LeoTierney]

Glad you liked the film, we all put a lot of effort into this one! :D The dialogue volume has been the main critiscm, we'll have to work on that for the next one :p And if there were any problems with the acting, then the blame lies with the director :p

[@katmatally]

Well done! The shorter format was perfect; the costumes and backgrounds superb and the acting was good.

[@JesseH76]

The set and costumes are great, too! Gives you appreciation for how much work really goes into the films and t.v. episodes we love.

[@jkgardner1933]

Very well done, great effort to portray Star Trek under the current gudilines. Crew stories can be built around many crew sets. A year in the life of a ship could be done again and again. Thank you so much for your efforts.

[@Garryak]

This is very well done, especially the space scenes! And well, of course these guys are not professional actors but I think they did a pretty good job. This video was most entertaining and I enjoyed watching it. Isn't that what's it all about? So thank you for your efforts. Very good!

[@christopherskeels3784]

Please make more. The acting and the script was hilarious.

[@chuckintexas]

Well done ! I was THERE - the intended result, I'm sure. The presence of the other ship in the forward viewports and the excellent Klingon characterizations, along with the interior and exterior contexts AND the brief glance at the runabout from the Klingon viewscreen really added well to the illusion ! WELL DONE !

[@ParascopeMedia]

Thank you to all of our Kickstarter backers! This film wouldn't have been possible without your support! -C.S.Watterson

[@Rasallon]

one of the best star trek fan fan films ive seen in a while

[@thefloonydude]

The best part by far was when the Excelsior class ship came in, I swear it gave me goose bumps. Now it is obvious that you guys are not pros or anything, but this entire thing screams effort, and that is what is important, I never felt like you guys were lazy on this, great job!

[@AltLexington]

Visual effects were really good, and the Klingon Captain really sold his part well, my favourite part was the reaction to the loose tongue line because it ended this with a nice laugh. Respects.

[@keithbeach8899]

I love this video, especially the detail of the ships!

[@MRMOGAVERO]

Star Trek lives on youtube !!!!!

[@ryanakers604]

Not too shabby at all. Excellent work! It was really nice to see a TNG/DS9 era production.

[@thebuttonfactory2306]

I’m constantly being shocked by the quality of the special effects of these fan films. Exponentially, these effects seems to improve at ever increasing rates.

[@subscriptioncharitybegging1741]

Would rather watch this than the Abrams Kurtzman interpretations of Star Trek. Nicely done!

[@aprilvalleyaugast5106]

we want more of this fan film

[@LeoTierney]

Cheers mate! The shorter sequences took maybe 3 days to render out, the opening sequence took considerably longer :p We just wanted to pay homage to our favourite tv series, we hope we've done it justice :)

[@jamesmeno2235]

It was such a pleasure to be able to work with my good friend Cory Watterson on the music for this film. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity.

[@JVONDOLT]

Very nice video. Thanks to all involved.

[@TrekzoneMedia]

Well done team. I can't believe it's taken me this long to find your film. 3 out of 5 :).

[@jasonpiggott1722]

They did a really good job

[@DJiPon3]

Great work, proud to be a part of it

[@JovianJeff]

A very nice production with a fine mix of acting, special effects and wonderful lead up to the reveal. The mentioned, 'official' mission was perfectly placed, and not overly stressed and made the appearance of the starfleet vessel at the end not a deus ex machina, but part of the cunning plan. Nice costumes, loved that era look, great sets and the cgi ships all around. Beautiful work and my hat is off to the cast and crew of this production. I hope you'll make more.

[@JunmaiShu]

Very well done, especially the Klingon makeup... better than other fan projects I've seen with much better funding.

[@willvincitran]

Pretty good special effects!

[@markbishop9743]

Excellent work all around. The acting was wonderful the graphics and CGI were top-notch.

[@JamesBartlett.]

I LOVED the plot twist

[@Queezbo]

Wow! Very well done. I hope there's more....

[@gregtdude]

So why was the security officer not privy to security matters? And wanting to give chase to a Bird of Prey in a Runabout?? Aside from these points, the security officer's inability to act convincingly this was quite entertaining and left me wanting more :)

[@jpasby779]

I'm with all of the other positive fan comments, Enjoyed it and would like to see more. thank you for bring this to us, and for your work in making this so.

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

I'm watching this before the recently released part 2. I have to say, this was really fun! You made the most of the limited sets, the characters were believable and well acted, the ship effects were gorgeous! I particularly liked how the BOP took damage from the USS Longshanks. And familiar British accents all round! :-)

[@bryanholland6987]

The Fearless Starfleet Officers seemed a bit too Fearless. In fact, I didn't see any display of anxiety at all. Other than that, I loved it! Wish I could do something like it; tried and failed because I have no idea how to do a proper green screen, or CGI. It's beyond my current knowledge. So I just enjoy your stuff. Very nicely done :) Thank you for helping keeping real Star Trek alive. I'll take this over that J.J. Abrams crap, any day.

[@libraeotequever3pointoh95]

"Gallows humor."

[@maureentuohy8672]

Why does all dialogue sound better with an English accent? "USS Thames" and USS Longshanks" Love it!

[@danielpotter3603]

Good work. I hope we'll see more.

[@YouDoTheCovers]

Audio could have been better but was really good and I enjoyed watching it!

[@surindo71]

OUTSTANDING job i love movies like this please keep it and and know that your work is truly appreciated

[@MrTeachtheworld]

Wow! Amazing fx and sets and sounds! Great exciting story too. I really enjoyed this! Hope to watch more... Incredible work!!!

[@Sillygoose14111]

This was beautiful! You guys created a great film, very interesting and those shots were wonderful. great job :)

[@LeoTierney]

Cheers man! :D

[@HerrEllsworth]

Excellent job! CBS may have the rights but you have the ingenuity and that's what counts!

[@davecolvin1281]

VERY well done! Would love to see more despite the new guidelines! Keep up the good work!

[@ammolator]

That general Karloff was awesome! Kablah!

[@Khwartz]

Short but well made; thanks guys! :)

[@NeovenatorRex]

Awesome Battle Scenes :)

[@londonpaul]

Terrific job,very glad to have been a supporter! Wonderful work. As I've always maintained, many short films are far superior than feature-length films.

[@johnvaldez8830]

Top notch video and really intriguing story. I think that this is a great reminder that a production doesn't have to be long to be good and it really was enjoyable enough that I wanted to know more. Great job and please continue. There are a lot of good ideas to explore!

[@01V6]

This is WAY better than that Star Trek Renegades Of God and Men thing I just watched. Acting, animation, Klingons, everything. Good job

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

wait, this is five years old? we need more, I hope the big money cameras hire your crew FAST! they need you

[@WilliamZeebub]

the best homemade star trek i have seen so far... inteligent script, excellant set design, very good uniforms and good acting.. keep going

[@Axess-sv8nq]

The music is a little loud compared to the dialogue. But, otherwise, this is EXCELLENT!

[@gabryaelharrisson9852]

This is a very good short film ! Very well done ! Please make some more like this !

[@taggett666]

Nicely Done !!!

[@JackPonissi]

Great acting, good effects and great set, story is quite ok too, my compliments Almost forgot: the Klingon general really looked like a Klingon and, I don’t know if it was intentional, but reminded me a lot of Gowron.

[@jmgRPCV9294wi]

I cant believe this, it could literally be a new series

[@2150dalek]

Great job....Felt like an episode of Deep Space Nine or Next Generation. Very smooth with CGI, audio and overall story. Only con was the Star Fleet vessels were of different era's and didn't mesh for me.. Intro of a starship being attacked, was a tad confusing.

[@chekovproductions]

Best and most original fan film I've seen with the best visual effects. I think you've made an incredible production and I hope you plan to make more!

[@lostboyblue]

aside from the wrinkled Starfleet uniforms?

[@StevenRomphf]

Nicely done!

[@LeeKeels]

This makes all the other Star Trek fan films look lame in my eyes. I'd rather see more of this any day.

[@kindzadza134]

Wow, that one was awesome!

[@vedekcobol]

very well done, I hope you guys make more of them

[@thecopycat7153]

Thumbs up to all of you for a job well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Well done and congrats from the team at Star Trek: Intrepid. :)

[@evrenserce2949]

Congratulations guys. Way better then my expectations! If possible please adjust background music level. In some part, I can hardly hear the dialogue compared to the music. Thanks for the wonderful job again.

[@hexdude24]

Clever. And good FXs.

[@ledwardsak]

Great job and I am proud to have been a Kickstarter backer on this project!

[@matthewstreets9662]

Awesome work on Star Trek: Deception.

[@LeoTierney]

Thanks for the nice comments! :) I will be creating a Making-Of that will be available on the Kickstarter backers DVD, and at a later date released onto KZbin, which should provide a more detailed insight into the making of this film. But I can still answer your questions now, the programs we used were Maya, After Effects, and PremierePro for video, and the wood was bought from Wickes :) As for tips, it depends, try not to rely on VFX too much, make what you can for real :D

[@PDXParalegal]

Excellent job!!

[@SM-cg2dc]

You need a part two! 👍🏻

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Part 2 is online now.

[@lightbearer313]

These two Fed officers were very laid back. They were taking on a Klingon ship in a basically extra-sized shuttle (which the Klingon commander called a starship LOL). Nevertheless an interesting tale executed in a mere eight minutes.

[@Rob-529]

During the action scenes, the music was too loud; it would drown out much of the dialog.

[@timebelly4009]

This was great. Thanks!

[@AndythePervert]

Hoping this is the trailer for a longer film. Great work all around!! :D

[@Cyproterjoan]

Sweet film.

[@danholroyd7681]

WOW WELL DONE!

[@bobspeigel9455]

Stellar Work!

[@camb99]

Love it and the CGI is great for a fan film! Great job! :)

[@GunnarMagaret]

Wow That Was Awesome i loved it hopefully we see more star trek deception. Job well done Gentlemen Make it so.

[@MattFergusonmwfergo]

rarely get to see a runabout in a fan film, nice one lads

[@basslvck]

Awesome

[@filiesillo]

MAN I'll give you guys a 9.5 out of ten only cause I felt it was a bit exposition heavy at the beginning but everything else acting effects and everything was just amazing

[@garymyrie5027]

This could be a tv series or web series

[@MEXICANMOOSE1976]

That Klingon was a DOPPLEGANGER of Martok of DS9!! 😲😲😲

[@TheIntendantS]

I was expecting it slightly longer, but you guys did a great job with the video. I'm so glad to have given so much to make this happen. Q'apla! (Not to mention free promotion for the adventure game movement on Kickstarter)

[@gethammed]

Klingon makeup was the best part.

[@johncanfield1177]

Excellent work for a short subject, definitely want to see more!

[@halodoomplayer]

Well done. A fine little adventure. The only nit I have is back-lighting the non-command panels to give the appearance that they are operational.

[@TheReelDealwithTomKonkle]

Great job all around.

[@philipclark8307]

What an excellent achievement. Only one small thing, the music at time overpowered the dialogue!

[@MissMarinaCapri]

For a Star Trek fan film it was good!

[@ussakira7294]

I am a really big fan of Star Trek & was a totally amazing video

[@DistantEarlyWarning611]

Excellent Job! My Klingon brothers were very convincing! Will there be another one like a conclusion to this one?

[@Omega1multimedia]

Well done.

[@STSGingie]

Qapla' from the Gates of So-vo-kor! Well done, Maj ram

[@akeel_1701]

at 5.47 he says "Ji'yaj" which means "I understand"... the actual word for Fire is "BaH!"
