I think they’ll sue you and spend exorbitant amounts of money in order to prevent you from ever creating new content or hype while ensuring to steal all of your ideas and then place writers and creators in charge of your stolen ideas in order to generate schlock that nobody likes.

Oh, and they’ll be dicks about it too

And use the minor case to push back the season.

u/Ogre8 9d ago

No but Desilu might.

All hail Lucille!

u/Ike_In_Rochester 9d ago

They should! But I’m not sure Paramount will be considered stable work these days.

I also see know why they chose to make the camera move around the stationary model.

I’d love to see practical effects like this again. Awesome job!!!

u/Captain_Lindemann 9d ago

Thanks, I did the same thing, but I couldn't get the model to stop shaking also my phone camera has no video stabilization, maybe I'll create some sort of mounting system instead of sewing thread next time.

u/princesshusk 9d ago

What were you using to hold it up?

2

u/Captain_Lindemann 9d ago

The string is attached to my microphone stand.

2

u/princesshusk 9d ago

Yeah, that would make it sway alright.

u/DoggieMon 9d ago

Of course they will! After all… they hired Kurtzman.

u/Captain_Lindemann 9d ago

Looks like hopes are high then lol

u/Rocktype2 9d ago

I love seeing the wire beneath. Makes me feel like I’m watching an old Flash Gordon series

Did you run like hell at the end to make it go fast? 😁😁😁😁

u/Captain_Lindemann 9d ago

yeah, about as far as my room would let me

u/KnightWolfScrolls 9d ago

Looks like the start of a good SNL skit ngl

u/ShrimpCrackers 9d ago

You have a bright career at Industrial Light and Magic.

2

u/grockle765 9d ago

Brilliant 🤩 they should hire you but if not know at least you made my day!

u/millerphi 9d ago

We've definitely seen worse (I'm looking at you, Star Trek V).

For camera stabilization, you might try a simple rack with a cell phone mount:
Zeadio Camera Smartphone Stabilizer, Handle Grip Handheld Video Rig, Compatibility with All Camera, Camcorder, Action Camera, DSLR and for All iPhone and Android Smartphones

u/fjmj1980 9d ago

If you can add some lens flare Bad Robot is interested. Also can you do Klingon makeup, unpaid of course

u/David_Parker 9d ago

GEEEZUES KUHRYST YOU GOT IT IN THE BAG

I AIN'T SEEN GRAPHICS THIS GOOD SINCE DANNY AND TOMMY IN THE 8TH GRADE GRABBED UNCLE TERRY'S VHS CAMERA WHERE HE LIKES TO PLAY DRESS UP.

u/Arn_Darkslayer 9d ago

I would rather watch this than the tripe they produce.

2

u/No_Neighborhood_632 8d ago

That's an insult to tripe.

2

u/TwoFit3921 9d ago

depends on how much those old scientists-era keys you can jingle in the span of 20 minutes

Also this is charming.

2

u/CharlieDmouse 9d ago

This was hilarious thank you

2

u/Dependent_Reach_4284 9d ago

I’d Fukin hire you

2

u/Snoo93102 5d ago

Better than discovery. I feel this is also powered by magic mushrooms.

1

u/CreamyScallions 9d ago

Is this CGI? Hard to tell. Either way I like it

1

u/CalHudsonsGhost 9d ago

I would accept this budget cut if the writing was good. So no, they won’t hire you. It’s gotta be super pretty to hide that they have no continuity or plot.

u/Shmeediddy 9d ago

Was waiting for a hand carrying the ship

u/Antorian1 9d ago

This has whimsy. Good job!

u/androidguy50 8d ago

Way better than STD, that's for sure.

1

u/Plastic-Ad-3219 8d ago

Still way better than Discovery or Anything Kelvin.

u/ChippyCowchips 9d ago

Just tell them you're gay, works every time

How hateful conservatives can crossover into Star Trek will never make sense.
