Star Trek movies as you've never seen them before!

This series of videos on YouTube is produced using action figures with simple cgi accompanying the official readalong book. Probably by a Vietnamese producer.

Made by the same producer of the later, "Star Trek The Toy Movie" series, this was subtitled, 'Star Trek: The Tour'. During Star Trek: The Tour's first stop in Long Beach, CA, during 2008 he and his sister decided to make the most of the experience by creating their own fan film, shot directly on set at The Tour. Utilizing the model, hallway, Enterprise-D bridge, engineering room, sickbay and transporter room as backdrops, he wrote a short script tailored to the setting and to the images actually displayed on the bridge's viewscreen. With a little editing, very little special effects, and kung-fu-styled dubbing, this is was released as 'Episode 1'.

Their subsequent videos, episodes 2 and 3 in Jan/Feb 2009, must have been subject to a music copyright infringement and (as at Aug 2017) episode 2 is blocked as 'not available in your country' and episode 3 has no sound! The producer corrected this in Jun 2016 by releasing a special edition which takes up where episode 1 leaves off. With all new scenes, a merge of the 2008 video with 2013 and 2015 video from the Star Trek Exhibition in Taiwan and extra video to replace previous green screens, it has new royalty free music courtesy of Kevin McLeod.

Test Headline 20170808


August 11, 2017, New release and find from Bob Crikey, two short stop motion Mego films from Australia, both Golden Age.

The first, "Star Trek The Mind Meld", was released to YouTube on June 10 https://youtu.be/3xjBEoVET9o (8:35). The second, "Klingons Ahoy" was released on August 6 https://youtu.be/0drL5pS07XQ (13:51).

A simple, almost slapstick comedy, this is apparently the producer's first work, achieving a lot considering he is working solo and with free and open source software.
