    It's been a crazy few months latley with Star Trek New Voyages. We are heavy into post production for our episode "To Serve All My Days" starring Walter Koening; prepping for two more episodes to be shot in September (including "The World Above, The Sky Below" starring George Takei) , getting our new forums/discussion boards up and running and now . . .

     

    Well, let's just copy and paste the newsbit from StarTrekNewVoyages.com News

     

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

     

    James Cawley reports on the latest rumors and reports regarding a new STAR TREK online mini-series:

     

    There have been inaccurate reports on the wire, so to set the record straight, here is the SCOOP!

     

    A fan produced feature-length digital miniseries that starts shooting on July 12 called "Star Trek: Of Gods and Men" will be Produced in part by the team behind "New Voyages." This new webisode — which will be distributed on the Internet in three parts — stars Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig reprising their roles as "Uhura" and "Chekov," but in the post-Kirk time of Enterprise-B captain "John Harriman," reprised by Alan Ruck. Tim Russ will direct, and will also appear as a younger "Tuvok." The film will include other performances by Garrett Wang ("Harry Kim"), Chase Masterson ("Leeta"), Grace Lee Whitney ("Janice Rand"), Gary Graham ("Soval") and Crystal Allen (from "Bound"), along with some special "surprise" guests.

     

    "Of Gods and Men" is executive produced by Sky Douglas Conway, head of PlanetXpo and producer of "Lady Magdalene's" and the "Roddenberry on Patrol" short films, and the script was written by Conway along with Jack Trevino and Ethan H. Calk, both of whom contributed to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes. Other behind-the-scenes professionals from the actual show will be involved, such as Doug Knapp as director of photography.

     

    The miniseries will be shot in part on the "New Voyages" set in New York State, but is expected to include locations in Los Angeles. The movie's Web site is www.startrekofgodsandmen.com.

     

    Cawley explains, "While we are thrilled to be helping with this endeavor, please remember that this is A SEPARATE project from "NEW VOYAGES." This project is/was started by Sky Conway. He contacted us, and asked us about the use of our sets, props and volunteers. We here at New Voyages are VOLUNTEERING behind the scenes to help Sky with his Trek dream. This is his project and we are along for what is sure to be a fun ride. NO money is being made. We are not being paid and we are not charging for the use of our sets. We are still abiding by the guidelines given to us by Paramount more than two years ago.

     

    "The fan films are a vital part of Star Trek and it's history. No other franchise on the planet can boast of such a dedicated and vocal fanbase! It is our dream that CBS/Paramount will someday license and support these Fan films. They already license fan fiction thru their pocket books division, this would be the next logical step! At any rate We are grateful to CBS/PARAMOUNT for 40 years of this enduring legacy, called Star Trek. We here at New Voyages support and thank them."

    Crazy, busy world here at New Voyages!

    Several weeks ago, Walter Koenig asked James Cawley for "something" to show the audience at FedCon, Europes largest Star Trek Convention. We are pleased to be able to share with all the fans the exclusive FedCon trailer, created by Jack Marshall and Doug Drexler. The preview contains all new footage from the webisode, including an exciting glimpse at the Klingon chase of the Galileo shuttlecraft through the icy debris rings of the planet Babel.

     

    This 4 minute preview will allow fans to see for the first time the tone of the upcoming episode, "To Serve All My Days" which stars Walter Koenig reprising his role as "Chekov" from Star Trek with James Cawley as Kirk, Jeffery

    Quinn as Spock and John Kelley as Doctor McCoy.

     

    The downloadable file is a high quality DiVX file, suitable for burning to a CD or DVD for viewing on home DVD players as well as on computers with the Divx codec and in Windows Media Player (WMV) format. For more information on DiVX or to install the codec for proper viewing, please refer to this website: http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/

    what do I need to watch the episodes? Do I need Bit Torrent, if so, how do I use it? I usually use .wmv files

     

    The episodes are currently released in *.wmv format. They are then archived in *.zip format to try and make the download files a bit smaller and therefore faster to download.

     

    To get the episode, simply log onto http://www.startreknewvoyages.com then:


    •  
    • click on the left side of the splash screen for 800 x 600 site or click on right side of splash screen for 1024 x 768
       
    • click on "Epsodes"
       
    • choose site to download from
       

    Can one of you guys please provide a few links were I can download "Come What May", I saw about half of it ages ago but have not been able to find the whole thing.

     

    Star Trek New Voyages' pilot, "Come What May" is available via the following link:

    Well, zipkirk1966 sent me a PM about this thread and asked if I could help answer the question about an ATM in Quark's Bar. I did get to spend quite a bit of time on the sets of DS9 the day I was an extra for the episode "The Darkness and the Light" and, believe it or not, was told to take as many pictures as I could!

    To answer the question as to if there was an ATM in Quark's, ...

    Not that I saw nor remember.

     

    However, there was one on the Promenade not too far from Quark's.

     

    And it caught my attention.

     

    You see there were symbols for many of the familiar Star Trek species/races atm_01.jpg

     

    but one that I thought was a bit out of place. atm_02.jpg

    Thanks for the kudos, Zipkirk1966! And we would have loved to been able to extract you and the others from the disaster that hit just before we filmed!!!

     

    I may not contact you and the rest of the gang as often as I feel I should, but please know you all on the Gulf Coast are in my and the rest of the NV crew prayers.

     

    In case you haven't seen it yet, the December issue of WIRED magazine has an 8 page article on what we filmed in September with some fantastic pictures, including the FIRST released of Walter Koenig playing Chekov.

     

    Come on over to the New Voyages Forums and keep up with the progress of "To Serve All My Days"!

     

    I really do miss you guys and gals from Coast Con... and wish I could be there to help...

    Talk about news !!!

     

    We can finally officially announce another BIG name involved with Star Trek New Voyages.

     

    Seems many people have taken a liking to the artwork on the walls in the Briefing Room screen grab.

    (In case you're not sure which picure I'm speaking of, it's at the bottom of this post.)

     

    It has been officially released that those pieces of art are actually digitally inserted and they were created by none other than...

    .Wait for it...

    Are you sure you wanna know?

    .

    :lol: Mike Okuda!!! :P

     

    In Mike's own words

     

    "I digitized the emblems for the aircraft carrier and the NASA space shuttle test flights for a personal project. The ring ship mission patch was something I worked up on my own time for the bar in "First Flight" (ENT). The registry number for the ring ship, XCV-330, comes from a Rick Sternbach painting that he did for the movie Enterprise rec deck, as seen in ST-TMP."

     

    Just how many more surprises can we come up with?!!! :inlove:

    I have to thank James Cawley for fulfilling one of my dreams...

     

    In our local fan club (USS Tahawus - Lake Placid, NY) my fictional character was an Efrosian (sp?). James promised me that someday we'd work it in.

     

    With his push and Kevin Haney's incredible talents, my wish was granted and I was transformed into an alien for this episode.

     

    I can't thank them enough ...

    Slowly regaining conciousness after the two weeks of filming and getting too little sleep, I thought an update would be good...

     

    Jack Marshall has already begun reviewing footage and even posted some screenshots!

     

    Here are a few samples:

    Nice poster Jorel! I guess the release date must have been pushed back huh? I was thinking it was to be released in September. I can't wait! :wacko:

    Actually Jack and the editing crew initially were hoping to release in late August. Then it was pushed to September. Finally this month they made the official announcement that In Harms Way would be released October 8, 2004.

     

    Taking a quote from www.NewVoyages.com's News :

     

    "For those counting, this marks the 4 1/2 month mark from the first day of filming. I mention this only to say that a film this complex with over 200 effects shots - 4 1/2 months of production has to be a record!"
