The Fall of Starbase One: a Star Trek Fan Production

[@benspratling9041]

Outstanding! The Vulcan ambassador impersonation was probably the single best trek fan film impersonation I've ever heard. Tone, pacing, head movements. Nailed it. And what production value?! Half the time I felt like I was watching the real thing. Camera work was fantastic.

[@Samurai02008]

I agree with everything you said. The only thing that took me out of it was the TNG era sounds when they were activating the auto destruct. Other than that it was great.

[@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491]

Great actor

[@AshleyPotter01]

The ending, of course, is "Balance of Terror". Starfleet still doesn't know what the Romulans look like until Uhura is able to get an image of the Romulan bridge and we see the Romulan Commander (Mark Lenard) for the first time. In other words, the Vulcan ambassador here succeeded in keeping this information secret. The message was never sent. Great film, and a perfect ending that maintained continuity with TOS. Absolutely could fit in canon. Thank you!!

[@littledikkins2]

That is the reason for this ending, they were keeping their story canon.

[@gliberty42]

But it could also have been that the message got out, Starfleet command knows but chooses to keep it secret - highly classified - but I guess it's up to the Paramount types to add that piece of cannon.

[@richNfit4life]

To be embarrassed is a human emotion. Yet, this Vulcan was completely run by it.

[@srvfan454]

One thing I love about the Enterprise series is the jumpsuits. They were very cool.

[@pwnmeisterage]

The "coast guard" jumpsuits definitely seem more realistic and functional than Starfleet pajamas. Especially since they actually have pockets and loops and zippers, real compartments and fasteners.

[@Avengers24-sw7cv]

For a Star Trek fan film set in someone's house, this was excellent. Great acting. Excellent story. 10/10.

[@keithhatfield3969]

Fantastic acting! It absolutely looks and feels like it should belong in the ENTERPRISE universe, a season 5 episode we should have had. Hope you keep them coming, I certainly look forward to seeing more!

[@moeskido]

This series remains one of the high points of Trek fan-filmmaking.

[@jmfbizzle]

Really great. Story, acting, special effects. Very professional. Great job.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)

[@inn.ov8]

Very well made. Good script, high quality production, great acting. Thoughtful and intelligent. Could stand alongside many a mainstream star trek production. Congrats to everyone involved!

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Thank you so much for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@larqven0192]

Fantastic job! One of the best fan films I've seen! I love Earth-Romulan War stories. This acting and use of props was just wonderful. That the Romulans would be revealed at some point and that Vulcans might well insist on a coverup was something I've long believed. Indeed, I suspect the knowledge did get out, but was sealed by Star Fleet, and possibly by the nascent Federation as one of the conditions of Vulcan joining.

[@TrekzoneMedia]

Fantastic effort Aaron, you've nailed the spirit of fan films once again for another venture into the post-ENT era. I was fortunate enough to be on set during some of the filming and I can attest to you and your crew's professionalism and work ethic. Congratulations... now don't leave us hanging!

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Thanks so much for your continued support, Matt! :) It was a pleasure to have you on set during this one, at last!

[@HerrEllsworth]

Wow, brief but hard-hitting. I forgot these characters were expendable so the ending was a little surprising. However, it does preserve the continuity that Romulans were never identified until a century later. I'm very impressed.

[@paulfleming715]

I love these short but plenty of action . Issues are not nearly tied up and make you think about stories. Roddenberry would be proud

[@josephinman4623]

I've been binge watching Star Trek fan films and this one of the best. Excellent set, great script, ( most of them get too wordy), people who can actually act! Thanks, keep up the good work. 🚀🎴

[@richardikin]

I could happily spend all day watching these fan films, they're so good!

[@Bill23799]

" A Vulcan's gonna do what a Vulcan's gonna do "

[@winkles2314]

Keep em coming. This is proper Star Trek.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

That's very kind of you to say! Thanks for watching! :)

[@kurtjensen4693]

This was not just good, this was the best. I’ve seen a lot of fan films, but if I didn’t know any better, I would swear it was the real thing. Great great job.👍👌🙏

[@santiagoandujar2518]

Great work!!! Keep it coming !!!

[@MEXICANMOOSE1976]

WOW😲 This has high production values...just like a Television broadcasts!!! We need more of this in our lives!! :/

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@williamkinsey4979]

You were very lucky to get jay chattaway he is wonderful. Great stuff guys. Make us aussies proud!

[@Artifactsofmars]

With :friends" like that Vulcan they really don't need Romulans.

[@BillyButton63]

WOW!! This was REALLY good! As a Star Trek fan, I loved it. You guys need to do full episodes, and give us more stories. Thank you.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

I wish we could but alas...these things cost WAY MORE money! Really glad to hear you enjoyed it though. Thank you so much for watching :)

[@Daniel-Strain]

CBS doesn't allow anything over 15 minutes, and no recurring characters.

[@patrickgeerts976]

This is how you create a Star Trek story fitting with the lore and values we know from past iterations. The production of STD can't compare to this. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

That's really great feedback to hear. Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@ransom182]

Can we please not use STD for Discovery? I know people who dislike Discovery largely use it as a way of showing distain for the series but let's show some class. The Trek fandom has become really toxic in recent years and this is a silly symptom of this. Aside from the obvious connotation to sexual diseases, STD also breaks the established pattern for 'three word' Trek series. Star Trek: Voyager was VOY not STV, Star Trek: Enterprise was ENT not STE. In fact no past Trek series have used Star Trek or "ST" in their abbreviations... TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9... none have used 'ST'! The creators have said DSC is the official abbreviation, while Memory Alpha is using DIS to be consistent with Voyager. Either is 1000x better than STD.

[@skynikau7403]

How good was that! Brilliant! All involved with this production...should be very proud of yourselves. You are all very talented! I have nothing but absolute admiration for the exceptional talents that you all have and wish you all a bright and fantastic future.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@KSloyan]

The Romulans love their signal jamming...

[@armsman5322]

Wow! Great stuff. You sure got a lot out of those original sets you made for 'Needs of the Many' and 'The Derelict'. You do amazing work with the resources you have and it really is some quality stuff. I hope you continue.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

We certainly have gotten a lot of use out of our set pieces and we're constantly adding new ones, but unfortunately they are getting to the stage of needing a retirement. They've got one more film in them and then it's time for a rest! Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@wisemanf8112]

Great stuff once again Aaron. Great story and effects and good acting all round. Well done all.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@AltLexington]

Get set build, awesome acting, and the lighting plus framing of each shot was beyond good.

[@michelle.lima5]

Brilliantly done, a shame it wasn’t longer, fitted into the Enterprise timeline perfectly

[@kirkbolas4985]

Well done sir.

[@davidunion]

Another brilliant fan production. Acting is fantastic, settings are awesome. Story is great, and this is one of the best fan vulcan/romulan android makeup I've seen, at least as good, maybe better, than the professional series. Sound effects seem to exactly match the show. And all the sets have great live video going in the background to make the whole thing very highly polished. This is real star trek. If all the on-air shows were this good we'd still probably be watching it.

[@markbishop9743]

Very well done. It's amazing what can be done on a limited budget and the quality production you folks can produce. And you can look at shows that are on the network that aren't nearly as compelling and the writing not near as good. Thank you for your contribution to the Star Trek universe

[@ussarng4649]

So good, so much better than CBS's Star Trek has been for quite some time.

[@christophernelson4624]

Gene Roddenberry would be proud of this effort

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

That's how it ends? I want to see more!!! It goes without saying that this is a very engaging story. Lovely second to last shot too, I don't think we've had that POV before.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Haha! It is quite the cliffhanger. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching! :)

[@theinventorsshoppe]

@@voyagesfanfilm so pt 2 is coming

[@HerrEllsworth]

@@theinventorsshoppe Really? It didn't say "to be continued". Looking forward to it.

[@45580677]

Well other videos are the com got out and leads to other vids

[@TheRealZarp]

I just stumbled on this channel. I'm impressed. This is what Enterprise could've been. Great job

[@snowwolvesproductions]

Good job. I'm glad it ended without the signal being sent. It would have broken canon, since it's on the Enterprise that we first discover ( and the federation finds out...) that the Vulcans and Romulans share a common history... I'm amazed at how much good content can be made in as little as 15 mins.

[@thomasmatthewharris1980]

This is good!!

[@fjccommish]

Some good actors in this.

[@johncanfield1177]

Absolutely wonderful! Excellent performances and intriguing story line.

[@randysimmons9675]

Please tell me Aaron you are going to make a 2nd 15 minute to finish, PLEASE!!!! This rocks. Trekyards needs to see this.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

We won't be continuing with this specific story line, if that's what you mean Randy? But we are looking at producing our fifth (and final) film towards the end of the year - most likely running for 15 minutes also.

[@randysimmons9675]

Thanks for the reply just thought I'd ask, regardless well done.

[@sc_moeser]

Wow, this is the best-looking Trek-fanproduction, I've ever seen. Nice work!

[@PDXParalegal]

I loved it. Wonderful fan film. Views just like a episode of Enterprise. Incredible ending, the cliffhanger almost killed me Once again the Vulcans are more concerned with their own image than doing what is right!

[@voyagesfanfilm]

We're so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@littledikkins2]

Remember this was not long after the Kashara was found by Archer and T'Pol and that Surak's teachings had been so corrupted that Vulcan was essentially a Military Dictatorship.

[@johnbergholm]

Amazing quality. Good story...had me riveted.

[@saleendriver]

Well done. Proof you don't need a ton of special effects to tell a Trek story.

[@tracywarren7332]

Of the fan films I've seen this one has the best acting. Good job.

[@hallkbrdz]

Well done!

[@peggyjohnson53801]

That was great, loved it! What an ending!!

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Haha! It certainly had quite the impact! :) Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!

This is one of the best fan films I’ve seen in a long time! Discovery doesn’t hold a candle to this! Keep ‘em coming, my friends.

[@DL-lx4ei]

Thank you for providing the Enterprise season 5 that Paramount did not

[@voyagesfanfilm]

It would've been cool to see The Romulan War begin in Enterprise!

[@jaylene1701]

Aaron Vanderkley. Excellent... Not only writing and directing but gathering the talent to make up your cast and crew. Your timing in directing is right on target. Do you do the editing too?

[@mrock828]

What kind of budget do you work with? Reallyclosetotv ready! I like that you don't waste time with a standard "beginning" of an episode.

[@randyhuggins6480]

one of the better I've see in ages keep it up

[@Smokeey214]

super good. Loved it. I wish there were more from this era of the history

[@messengerguardiansparanorm8606]

Very well done! I love how this is done in the spirit of Enterprise. Nice.

[@Kwame1959]

Yes, these are amazing!!!!! More!!

[@robcarley7506]

That was pretty damn good, Needs a part 2 and the Vulcan getting phasered in the first scene lol

[@rjonboy7608]

Loved it! Good story, fit well with canon. None of the Bad Reboot junk. Would love to see more about the Romulan war period. (I was hoping Enterprise was going there before CBS assassinated it.) 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnnybarfield4402]

I would like for all these to be put on dvd so they can be purchased.

[@rubenzambrano2307]

Curiosa fan movie, con un esfuerzo notable en decorados y vestuario, que muestra el primer contacto con uno de los principales enemigos de la Federación y su secreta relación con otros miembros de la susodicha Federación. Aunque los trekkies lo conocemos desde la serie original, no voy a hacer spoiler y diré que está llevado de manera inteligente e incluso sorprendente, con unos actores que cumplen por su entusiasmo por la serie. El mundo de las fan movies, y las de Star Trek en especial, tratan de rellenar esos huecos que la historia canónica y oficial, como es el caso. Quizás nunca se las reconozca como tales, pero a los aficionados supondrá un placer secreto. Compartámoslo. Gracias por compartir.

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Gracias por ver :)

[@redplanetexpress1888]

Not bad for a fan film, not bad.

[@jacobktan]

I loved it, the set design was amazing. Acting was the best I've seen in a Star Trek fan production. It was a nice story that was more in line with TOS history than the ENT reimagining. I hope to see more in the future. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the graphic for the self destruct sequence showed warp coils that would be inside of a ship's warp nacelles instead of a fusion reactor or something like that. I might have been the only person who noticed though, I'm not sure why it bothered me.

[@Anaris10]

Are you familiar with Star Trek Continues here on YT?.I highly recommend it.

[@EugenioAngueira]

Very well done! Where is part 2?!?!

[@mystuff1405]

[@CaptainForsyth]

Are your romulan uniform inspired by the pacific 201 version

[@forfluf]

Almost everything is top notch. The only gripe is the editing of all things. Show someone getting hit by a phaser, show them fall, then reveal the shooter. This way it makes it feel more immediate and more consequential. The Vulcan grip was poorly shot I would ask for a take 2.

[@jocknarn3225]

Lighting is perfect! Not too bright, not too dark. The mood and atmosphere is perfect! Most fanfilms I see are either too bright or too dark, which doesn't make it feel cinematic. This one hits right on that sweet spot :))
