Temporal Anomaly - A Star Trek Fan Production (Part 1) (2019)

• Temporal Anomaly - A S... Part 2 can be watched here!
** Temporal Anomaly has a custom arrangement with CBS which allows for its release with its longer run time. This project was started in 2013 and created long before the fan film guidelines, to allow its release we got a separate arrangement with CBS**
It's finally here! Originally backed on Kickstarter in March 2013 this project has evolved year upon year. From using antiquated video game engines for the space visual effects and green screen sets, to spending hundreds of hours learning the very same VFX software they made the space effects in Voyager/Enterprise/DS9. Its been a wonderful journey and i'm so proud if its final result...truly a quality that I could never have dreamed possible back in 2013!
With a wonderful cast of actors, Temporal Anomaly is a love letter to all of Star trek! The first fan film to combine all of the eras into one project.
Check out our next big project...Convergence - A Star Trek fan production, the largest fan film cross over event in history!

See, this just proves you don't need a fancy set, a super fancy high budget, or a super fancy costume department. Just some half decent actors, and an EXCELLENT, story. I am quite captivated. Great job.

Or a dentist

[@Sarasdad91]

When we can get no more Star Trek, we always have Star Trek fan made. I love it. Thanks guys...for making low budget that's many times better than the higher budget.

[@Usa_mikek]

I applaud those that do their best to make ST fan films. It shows the devoted heart to the cause and the Star Trek universe.

[@AndersonNeo12]

This captain is insane (just proof of great acting). Everyone is cheering for the Ensigns - Lower Decks. Great job ❤

[@ThePulpitOfPoop]

NGL, I am in love with this. The perfection of the Sovereign class size VS Constitution size. The old meets new, well done. Star Trek as it was meant to be.

[@Legatvs1]

Hope you all enjoy this production, as a lot of work over many years went into crafting this spectacle :)

[@Jack_Stafford]

So many people donated time here and there that had to be coordinated, in addition to the innumerable hours of post-production work on the effects, soundtrack, and all the other things that go into making a film, done for free on a very limited budget. I would say everyone did a great job, the actors that gave their time did a wonderful job and taking all those pieces and putting them together while also continuing to live a normal life outside of doing just this one project is a pretty incredible achievement! Everyone deserves to be proud of their involvement in this project!

[@mitchg7809]

I wish Majel had recorded enough words that we could replicate her voice like they did to the woman who provided the voice for Siri.

[@lawrencemanning]

That wouldn't have been good for her job security eh...

[@michaelramsey82]

Supposedly, she did record a library of computer voice lines to be used in future Trek productions. They haven't used any yet, though.

[@qdllc]

Scour TNG footage. An AI could compile the data.

[@mikep1592]

I HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE YOUR FAN. Your work is above and beyond my expectations. Great job Commander Cockings. Peace and long life 🖖

[@Jack_Stafford]

Agreed! I love all of Commander Cockings' CGI work, and this film was an amazing showcase for it!

[@gumbomudderx7503]

Nicely done! I really like how all of this is looks. The ships and battle sequences especially. If I had any complaints really, it’d be to tell the actors to quit operating the consoles like they’re typing on 1940’s typewriters! 😂 I’m gonna watch the second part now.

[@ultron2099]

I personally enjoyed the acting from the Intrepid Captain. He played out that psychosis and mental break down very well. You could really see him just falling apart.

[@anicetune]

This is more entertaining than Discovery and Picard combined.

[@remaincalm2]

Nice job, I bet you all had fun making this. Your dedication to sticking with the production for nearly 6 years is amazing. The story is really good and feels original - which is a difficult feat given there are close to 500 ST storylines out there.

[@wpatrickw2012]

Regarding the first scene; costume designers on Star Trek say that the toughest costumes to conceptualize are pajamas.

[@hi1hi2hi]

IDK what the budget was for this, but its already way better then CBS Trek!!!

[@SGUDistantHope]

$3000 of croud funding (100% props and costumes) some money by me over the years...but mostly 6 years of time i've put in on all the green screen/VFX etc.

[@UGNAvalon]

Sounds like a perfect plot for a 60th Anniversary Special! 🤩

[@jacobktan]

I enjoyed this quite a bit. I will say that when the Ensign from the Galaxy ordered that dorsal phasers be fired, ventral phasers were fired instead. It's a small thing but it bothered me a lot for some reason.

[@SGUDistantHope]

HA! And here i was convinced that was an awesome correct order i wrote for her almost 6 years ago, and with my trying to be snazzy i actually got the wrong ones haha...oops! I had not noticed that in 6 years of working on this so thanks! What was your favorite bit about the project however, on a positive note?

[@jacobktan]

@@SGUDistantHope I'm really intrigued by the story line, just about to watch part two. I think that the space combat scenes are done very well, I also think that the prop work, especially when Captain Munroe is onboard the U.S.S. Galaxy is very nice, I think his equipment looks like it was right off of Voyager.

[@Jack_Stafford]

@@jacobktan did you ever get a chance to watch part 2, and what did you think about the resolution without spoiling it for anyone that might be reading the comments here?

[@jacobktan]

@@Jack_Stafford I did see part 2 right after making this comment. Is difficult to say much about part 2 without giving it away though. Still amazing production value for a fan production.

[@ultron2099]

Just to play devils advocate. But the Enterprise computer is fairly sophisticated. She had at that time identified it as an enemy vessel and locked weapons on it. Her ordering the wrong array to be fired may have been auto corrected. sort of like ... command imperative fire hostile vessel dorsal phaser array, error array out of alignment, correcting, firing ventral phaser array....

[@Astraeus..]

I can't be the only one who expected the computer to say "Bridge is not aboard the Enterprise"....

[@SGUDistantHope]

Haha! Love it :D

[@beanewman3829]

My exact thought, is there a bridge?

[@jamescrawford8232]

Guilty 😆

[@Jack_Stafford]

*No spoilers here* ! Brilliant job Samuel! The work on the ships is simply impeccable, easily the equal or better than any of the shows or movies. Love how the story is shaping up in the first part, and particularly got a kick out of the surprise guest! Please send my regards to him for a job well done. Can't wait to see part 2, and also to recommend this to everyone; I've been spreading the word about my high regard for your work for a long time, and this is a great showcase for it. Can't wait to see part 2, and then of course the next project! Brilliant job, a gift to the fans for sure! Kudos as well to the actors who undoubtedly spent many long hours and rearranged schedules in order to perform their parts in the production. Great job everyone!

[@SGUDistantHope]

Thank you! well go watch part 2 (which is out now!) and let me know what you think after you've seen it ;) :D Yes...long journey for all!

[@Jack_Stafford]

@@SGUDistantHope I am extremely impressed Samuel. I really loved how the story played out, it was not predictable at all and I was very engaged until the very end! I don't want to be too specific here for spoiler reasons, but I really think this is a great accomplishment from the directing, acting, writing and VFX perspectives. And even more subtle things like the beautifully orchestrated music; very well done. It may seem snarky to say it is superior to any Star Trek we've seen in a long time, but it just happens to be true!

[@drmayeda1930]

@@SGUDistantHope The big problem I had with part on e is how could the captain beam them into the brig? The cells are shielded so you can't beam anyone in or out of a cell. Intrepid class ship so it should have an EMH

[@Cleptro]

Anyone else notice the _Galaxy_ class starship's crewer told the computer to fire dorsal phasers and it fired the ventral? In all seriousness, that's a nitpick, not a complaint. This is awesome.

[@MichaelSmith-pj6de]

High quality production! All the digital sets look great, and the ships & weapons fire are terrific! I would love to see a fan series with this level of visual excellence!! One plot note that I really appreciate... everyone (except Munro!) seems to readily accept the possibility of time travel/temporal divergence. With all the weird stuff that Starfleet vessels have encountered, it should be just that easy to say, "yeah... looks like we might have just traveled through time." I always found it a bit unusual when any Starfleet crewman couldn't easily believe the situation they found themselves in. Well done!!! Looking forward to Part Two!! (By the way, what's up with Munro!! That dude is whack!!)

I think that the real Star Trek franchise now lives on in fan films rather than official shows. It used to be a thought-provoking optimistic sci-fi, not a political propaganda platform or a ferengi production. Fanfilms stayed true to the original Star Trek ideas. This is the official Star Trek to me.
