Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Season 4 (Unofficial UHD Teaser)

Tensions arise in the Alpha Quadrant. The Dominion is trying to divide the factions to destabilize the region and take over. Klingons against Cardassians, Federations against Klingons - the more they fight amongst themselves, the weaker they get against the Dominion.

What you've done here is nothing short of outstanding. The composition, sequencing, music, dialogue selection is the best work I've ever seen in anything related to or associated with Star Trek. It wouldn't look out of place in a theatre. I've never seen LCARS look so beautiful and alive either. Fantastic!

[@aeonjoey3d]

AGREED 100% on all counts, the LCARS sequences made me weep, the beautiful ships, renderings, camera angles, lighting, the transitions!!!! the music and choreo of all elements, i'm literally crying here with how beautiful this is.

thewewguy8t88 ding dong your opinion is wrong

[@thewewguy8t88]

@@jackbj this shows nothing about what ds9 is really about and is just a montage of tech demos with voice overs. Cbs shows actual footage from the show and shows what the show is like.

[@Acrosurge]

@@thewewguy8t88 Only it does show the themes portrayed over the season, and it does so without the assets of the actors. To be honest, CBS's trailers have far less thought put in to them and amount to little more than action schlock with a one liner thrown in at the most predictable times. CBS should learn from the heart and detail put into these fan trailers. It is the heart of Trek that has been missing since 2005.

[@thewewguy8t88]

@@Acrosurge well by that logic all professional trailers are like that. And there is no heart or thought put into those.

Fantastic! Seeing this in high resolution really makes me hope that Star Trek returns to its original universe one day. Those Mike Okuda designs alone...I've done so much interface design in the past and always admired these distinct designs. You really managed to capture the beauty of LCARS and the other elements very well.

[@darthkurland]

You've got to show some of this to Ira Stephen Behr for possible use in his upcoming DS9 documentary, "What We Left Behind." That might get CBS's attention!

[@Hibbs4Prez]

This!

nope. it's using "Bad Robot" uniforms. CBS and Jay Jay gone full romulan and got STD. It's a faaaaaake!

[@Hibbs4Prez]

Oh.My.God. That was glorious, inspired by the Prophets if I may say so. These homegrown trailers/promos for DS9 give me life. The dudes who put them together should be coveted by, at very least, the advertising departments of every Hollywood studio.

A huge pile of shit is better than STD

[@JohnCastleSmokeless]

DS9 was better than Disco on SO many levels.

[@cubdukat]

Most definitely. Still, if Discovery really wanted to improve itself visually, dump the HDR. It really makes the show look worse on regular screens. And find a new warp effect for Discovery. "Star Trek V" had less ridiculous looking warp effects. Oh, and PLEASE lose the lens flares. There are entirely too many of them for any show that so thoroughly repudiates the Abramsverse. Not to mention that lens flares are actually something good photographers/cinematographers/etc. try to avoid like the plague...

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

There is a reason its initials are "STD".

[@SufferingAddict88]

a rat that has died in a pile of shit and rotten there for a year before being filmed on a shitty phone by some edgy 10 year old kids who then uploaded it to youtube and added a song by Justin Bieber in the background would be WAY better than STD

@Reborn In Rationality Theere's also the timeline where Q was the first to introduce the Federation to the Borgs and the timeline where the Enterprise was during the first warp flight in 2060s and some Borg pieces was left in the Earth: what make Archer see an assimilated Borg ship during the 22th century, and in the 24th century made Anika Hensen parents study the Borgs and end assimilated (what made her end as Seven of Nine).
