Star Trek - The Paradise Makers Part 1

[@ivorybow]

What grabbed me immediately was the authentic Star Trek flavor of the story starting out. The explorers, their interchanges, pure Star Trek. I'm so happy to find this

[@HighlanderNorth1]

But it's based on a true story. I personally worship Poo Poo Kay, for she makes sure the crops are abundant.

[@crcsoon]

Even the soundtrack is accurate.... Wow!!! It has the look, the soundtrack, and the feel. 5 stars right here

[@zackfair914]

The original OST is one of the most atmospheric and mood setting themes ever. Pretty much unequaled in television history.

[@AlexGregoryMuujin337]

It's a damn shame (and a capital crime) this fan animation didn't continue as a series. This was one of the best ever done on all levels. It just feels... so right!

[@usaveteran-retired6464]

Meh. It's okay - A little too sloppy. Work on Kirk's hair would be nice - Old, short style, then 3rd season, with gut (9:40), then yellow shirts for all, No red shirts. Bad voices, Etc. No - I'll give them a B- for effort and a C for results. They need to do better!

[@kevinkammueller7553]

You are either on crack or getting paid to make idiotic comments. This is as lame as it gets. Like listening to the computer voices doing videos now. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get some voice actors who can actually read and maybe not tape the first read through. This is supposed to sound like actual conversations not people struggling to read a terrible script. No one talks like this.

[@Durhandoni80]

Except of spock, spock sounds like ethan peck@@horusheritic

[@ResinRat2]

Who else especially absolutely enjoyed the first 5 min. The dialogue, the analysis, the comments and back and forth banter. So representative of a Scientific Team that would be exploring an alien world with intelligent observations and curious expressions of details and discovery. So well done. I was hooked right away.

[@ewen4544]

First ever Star Trek to have an actual Scot play a Scottish character.

[@jv-lk7bc]

definitely. Some good writing and art here, a good production. But like most, really should just leave the original characters alone. They're at their best when they're exploring new characters and scenarios. I just couldn't get through the McCoy-Kirk scenes. Thats not McCoy, not Kirk. the dialogue, pacing, sound, movement. distractingly not them. That first crew was on the survey ship was *great*. lets explore their adventures.

I may be an old man, but as a fan of Trek from the start, I know Star Trek when I see it, and this is 100% Star Trek! The quality of the animation rivals the Filmation stuff (although it was the 70's:-) Thumbs Up! If you people never never make another episode, thanks for making this one. It's been downloaded and added to my collection. Live long and prosper! -Larry

[@julianbristow4793]

IRTheBorg Me too. I’ve been watching it ever since it was on NBC. And I’ve got to admit, it was nice to see the original series again in its original format. But alas, much as been changed over the years and Im afraid Star Trek isn’t Star Trek anymore. I think Gene Roddenberry would be turning in his grave if he saw the latest Paramount offerings. These guys did a great job, let’s hope they make more!!

[@NALurking]

IRTheBorg Agreed

[@silentotto5099]

Me to, with both IRTheBorg and Jules Marcel.

[@CyrusB1]

It took me about a minute to get used to the animation, but the banter and humanity of Star Trek is there, so, for me, Part 1 was great. With regards to the other thing: though I would be excited to 'Explore' strange new worlds, I am happy not to Discover them.

[@rafaelmadrigal9038]

This animation of Star Trek is really worth my time. Excellent story line, nice interaction between characters, 1970's animation; awesome. You make the episodes and I will watch them. This reminds me of the " Johnny Quest " episodes. I really enjoyed watching in the 1960's.

[@linnymaemullins3319]

Kinda reminded me of Johnny Quest also👍

[@dperry19661]

[@pike100]

Jonny Quest does not have an H in the 1st name.

[@eugenetswong]

I'm at 0:22, and Spock & Uhura seem to have the most authentic voices. It's Spock's pacing that really sells his voice. I think that the characters at the beginning seem to be the most real, in the sense that we are unfamiliar with them, so we aren't distracted by their voices. The story seems very engaging. You inspire me to start writing again.

[@kevinjohnston2212]

This is just flat out amazing. Great writing, very good voice acting, with damn near perfect characterizations. The inclusion of so many bits and pieces of Trek lore just adds to the fun. This is like finding a lost episode from 1966. The animation is better than some feature films I've seen. This came up earlier today on my recommendations page and I'm so glad I gave it a look.

[@teach-learn4078]

Your comments are logical and entirely consistent with my own observations. The attempt at derision by the naysayer should be ignored. As the vulcan proverb goes, the tonnacanda bird that finds no seeds will soon look elsewhere. By my estimation, the writing in the screenplay of this video rivals and indeed in some respects surpasses the writing of many episodes of the state trek franchise episodes. Giving credit where credit is due seems entirely appropriate in this instance.

[@kenlieck7756]

It is my observation that Subraxas most likely meant only to suggest that the commenter should avoid making statements which could cause the ascension of an abstract sense of self-importance into the auteur's cranial cavity...

I'm extremely glad I came across this. The story is exactly what I'd expect from classic Trek. Well done!

[@apteryx01]

WOW. It's been so many years since I had a new dose of the original Star Trek spirit. You've really caught the essence of it and brought it alive again-the idealism, the moral clarity, Star Fleet inspiring people to rise above natural pettiness and conflicts, the dangers, the thrill of exploring new worlds, the love of science and nature, the insight into humanity, even the touch of swagger. I'm literally tingling! I just watched Part 1 tonight. I'm going to wait for tomorrow to watch Part 2, to savor it longer by anticipation. Thank you for making this!

[@gdawg614]

It's like the original series has been resurrected, even being animated it looks and feels just like classic star trek, from the dialogue to the soundtrack. Gene Roddenberry would be proud.

Excellent work! You've captured the feel of the original animated series while surpassing many of its limitations. Obviously, this is a labor of love. While some people may diss the voice acting, I've heard far worse in the original audio-only stories released on vinyl back in the '70s. For me, I don't require voice clones. Your voice actors have captured the spirit of their characters superbly and that's what counts for this old fan. Another plus is the use of the original sound effects and re-purposing of many of the musical themes from the original live series. The mix of cell animation and CGI is quite good as well. A nice mix, with a good balance between the two styles. That isn't easy, but you made it work! Scripting is another plus, though more adult than classic Trek was allowed, you made that work as well. Overall, I'd give this very high marks indeed.

[@startrek-theparadisemakers7846]

We took care not to modernize the TOS universe with ear-jarring jargon and tech talk. However, we did want to separate our story and production from the fine 1973-74 Filmation show by offering more mature dialog. Star Trek- The Paradise Makers is definitely not a Saturday mornng offering.

Wow, this is good! I haven't seen anything so much like original Trek since Star Trek Continues. It's so good that it seems a shame to not benefit from having the original actors do the voices (those that are still alive), or at least some professional voice actors to replicate the original voices, and also from some professional editing to tighten it up a bit. It just seems to linger a little too long in each scene, with a bit too much time in between lines, as well as some extraneous lines that don't really add much to the story. But that's just nitpicking. Most fan productions aren't anywhere near this good or faithful to the show. This is even better than Filmation's TAS in several ways.

If not already possible it won't be long before the original voices can be used with this video by way of computer software. Not long after that this entire episode can be completely redone using computer files. Then this episode would be indistinguishable from an original.

[@katmatally]

He's doing pretty well. Some mispronunciation of dialogue and he misses the "NYeww" in "new civilizations" but I think he's not doing an out-and-out imitation of Shatner. Spock, Scotty, Uhura and Chapel sound really great; Sulu sounds good, and I really wish they had switched the voice actors for Dr Piper and Dr McCoy. McCoy sounds about 75 years old. The guy playing Piper sounds a bit younger and his voice is more naturally relaxed, more like De Kelly's.

Well done.

[@ScottBarrettihq]

I appreciate what you're saying, but the pace does feel too slow, even for TOS of that time period. With human actors you could linger a bit longer because human facial emotions can transmit more information than these animated ones. As well, the intros to every TOS EP focused on a moment of calm or routine, that is suddenly filled with conflict as soon as the situation could be established. This effort failed to do that. As well as it is done, the pacing is just too flat throughout, IMO. Good work otherwise, but the pacing hurts the draw.

Mad -Pac I think the animation stories are not part of the legal agreement..thank God!

[@fuzzywzhe]

Don't worry, I have a copy of it :D This is well worth preserving and I think I'll point out some of the grandiosity of it. First, it's the base, it's very 60's future design, and sitting on an asteroid, something you have never seen before but was a common concept back in the 1950's and 60's in science fiction. The second is the power of a starship, being able to move entire planets. In the original series, the Enterprise could destroy a planet with a single photon torpedo and the sanity of the captain was sometimes mentioned as being a severe requirement of command because of the unfathomable destructive power of a starship. The newer series, everything was a lot weaker, men weren't such gods either, they were just men (and women, to be politically correct). Basically in the original series, humanity's best was sent out, they were the smartest, sanest, most ethical people of the entire human species. You certainly don't see that in the modern series, and I'd include anything beyond the original series in that. The first series was certainly extremely idealistic.

I enjoyed it too. I couldn't say much about discovery because I'm not sure I ever watched it. TNG took a lot of getting used to for me. I wish they just put them on a differently named ship. But I got over it. Anyways, people are complaining about Kirk's voice. I found it a bit unnerving at first then I realized it is a fan flick and people were just having fun and enjoying themselves. They shared some of that joy with me so I'm happy.

@@brianbrenner4245 Nice and true words, my friend. But in discovery are so much mistakes in the canon for most star trek fans it is just not Star Trek. They dont go where boldly no one has gone before, the dont discover or seek out new lives and civilizations. In the first two seasons u see war, in the third season u see a pretty dark future. There are so much interviews with Gene Roddenberry and Rick Berman and all what they said, Alex did the total opposite on the discovery show. Thats a fact not an opinion. If youre really open minded think about the arguments of the other side and dont put yourself over other persons because of your "open mind".

This is the best trek I have seen in years even if it is animated really good story line and to trek canon, it keeps me wanting more,

[@gregoryfreeman2269]

Definitely seems like something we should've seen on 70s or 80s TV.

this plays like a novel. more detail than the average episode and slower to develop. I like it.

Overall a good job. I am a big fan of the Animated Series, so when this video was recommended by YT I made time to watch it. I like the story, while it does seem long, I did not find it slow paced. I did think there were some scenes like much of the starbase stuff that were more reminiscent of Trek movies than of Trek TV (animated or live). I did notice the inconsistent rank stripes, not just in the turbo lift but in a few early scenes. However as the story progressed there was little time to nitpick on such technicalities. For me the only real negative is the blending of the cell animation style like TAS was known for and the CGI that appears far too modern. Sadly this had the effect of reminding my of the disastrous animated shuttle craft sequence from ST5. Still I will definitely be watching Part 2.

Just found you! Your production is a work of art! I am amazed that we can enjoy quality Star Trek so many years later!

Kirk: “Rules are there for a reason” (yeah, for me to break whenever I want)
