"The Hunter maneuver" (and yes, i will definitely call it that way since it fits perfectly) is brilliant. We may know the basic story from Star Trek IV, but who ever came up with this idea as a attack pattern is a genius. Excellent writing, well done 😃
It's a good way to tell a story, I like that. Putting it all in a documentary style and adding live scenes and commentary. This reminds me a bit of Prelude to Axanar and I mean that as a compliment to all of you, because it's also a very high quality fan film. Very good work. And also a big compliment regarding the visual effects.
This is the best one yet! Nick really sells it as a captain, and I could listen to Rhea all day, lol. Would love a series of these little documentaries.
I wouldn't even mind if you turned this kinda thing into a longer form audio podcast/drama. I know that kinda takes away from the vfx stuff, but I really love the voice work in this. 👍

This was AWESOME! It felt much more like Star Trek than another documentary style fan film (the one that must not be named). The CGI was superb as always. When I first saw the three bugships closing in on the USS Intrepid, this looked like straight out of a DS9 episode. I liked the choice of different starship classes to be seen.

I really like the format - seems like you can do a lot with it. I think my fav shot was the Intrepid firing from the saucer's aft phaser strips. It was also neat to see an Enterprise class in that time period.
Thanks! Yes...it has a lot of benefits this format! Ha! Yes! I dont know if' we've ever seen that before ha! You mean the refit near the end? Yeh...Lots of fleet feel in this! Any other elements you particulary enjoyed?
Wow, this is pretty impressive. It also goes to show Star Fleet officers are scientists and explorers at heart, which often prompts them to come up with unique tactics that go beyond what's purely military.

I used binge fan made Trek back in the day, And for some reason fell away from it, Too the point I'd dip in every so often One of those was intrepid, And to see such a familiar face on screen after so much time shocked me I cant believe he's still doing this!
Great story and VFX! I wonder if showing the Indianapolis during Hunter's discussion about what he had heard in the past about this was on purpose and whether we'll see something regarding this in the future... 🤔 Also great looking Daystrom Institute 😁 Though I hadn't expected a Constitution class to still be around at the time of the Dominion War. I mean, okay, Mirandas and Excelsiors are still around a lot, but a Connie? A surprise for sure, but a pleasant one, with it being my favorite ship 🥰
Wowsa! The spacecraft imagery is superb, as is Mr Cook's portrayal of a Starfleet Captain. I enjoyed the Prelude vibes. Will ping the IGG sometime over weekend. Wishing you and the team success and hoping to see many additional films.
Loved it. Really good way to move beyond some of the criticisms of some shorts being a one-person show by embracing that and making it part of the story. Kept me engaged for the runtime :)
You've absolutely nailed the lighting here. Feels like what DS9 or Voyager would have looked like if it was in high res with superior models. Excellent work.
Thank you! Thats very kind from someone as VFX talented as yourself! Its something i've been developing to match over the last 10 years, the Trek we know and love but in a modern HD form...could be straight out of one of the shows but new! Was there any shots you liked in particular and for what reason? Since you know the challenges of doing such things ha!
@@SGUDistantHope I must agree with others, the shot at 6:00 is very nice. The parallax/actual interiors really sell that its an object moving in space. The camera, and that shot of both phasers firing back looks stunning! But also the shot at 6:50 when the ships drops out after the time skip behind the Jem'hedar is also fantastically lit. The ship has a real, metallic feel to it. Perfect amount of bounce light from the planet. I'll also add, I really like the Earth shots too!
This was such a well-made little film. Nick knocked it out of the park in both the flashbacks scenes as well as the documentary part, and the narrated bits were cut in perfectly. Sam's CGI work, as always, was top-notch -- especially with the greenscreen work obviously needed to put Captain Hunter into the Intrepid's mess hall. My only critique is that I would have liked to see Caed as well as hearing her voice. If you're going to have other actors do work for a film, you should also feature them as well, unless that voice is heard over the intercom or through a commbadge (that's the only time it makes sense not to show the person). A couple of cuts to Caid at the Ops station wouldn't have made this any less a Hunter-centric story.
Thanks Christina, really glad you enjoyed it. :) I'd certainly have liked to have Caed and some of the other Intrepid crew appear in this, but that would have meant having to shoot their cutaways separately without Sam being present, since there was no way we were getting them to Sam's place (minimum five hours travel plus hotel costs). It's quite an investment in time and energy, and to be fair, my schedule is a lot more flexible than most of the other Intrepid cast. I think it was discussed, but I don't honestly recall the details of that conversation. :) Also, I would have been pretty nervous as to how well we could match Sam's footage if we'd shot any cutaways ourselves (I don't think we did a great job on Long Way From Home). I'm much more confident we could (and have) since then, but at the time not so much. If we were doing this again, though, absolutely. :)
@@NickCookActingScribe Thanks for that explanation, Nick. I can definitely see where the logistics would make things difficult with cutaway shots if they're being done by different groups -- you definitely want things to be as seamless as they were in this film (and I didn't even notice a difference in Long Way Home, so I'll have to watch it again). Plus, I totally get the cost of travel being a pain! I'm sure you all do your best to schedule filming together when you can.
This is so good! Thank you! Great story and production all around. Seeing the Intrepid class together with the Defiant was so cool. Best Trek I’ve seen since Enterprise ended . Well done! 👍
Great job!!!! This was very entertaining and felt like an extension of Deep Space 9, why taking obvious styling nods from the Prelude to Axanar fan film. BTW, it was nice to see the both the Constellation Class and Constitution refit on screen again!!!

Thanks! Yes...it has a lot of benefits this format! Ha! Yes! I dont know if' we've ever seen that before ha!
You mean the refit near the end? Yeh...Lots of fleet feel in this!
Any other elements you particulary enjoyed?
Wow, this is pretty impressive. It also goes to show Star Fleet officers are scientists and explorers at heart, which often prompts them to come up with unique tactics that go beyond what's purely military.
Once again a brilliant story well done to the crew over the pond
Thank you so much! Did you like any moments in particular?
We are running a very important croud funder right now to make more films, we have already put a lot of money into new films and need to make sure we raise the budget to finish the collection! Any small donation would help if you want to see another 20+ films.

The battle scenes were so epic. I had to watch the scene when the torpedo exploded the ship three times cause it was so cool. Haha
Amazing! Thank you for doing this.

I used binge fan made Trek back in the day, And for some reason fell away from it, Too the point I'd dip in every so often One of those was intrepid, And to see such a familiar face on screen after so much time shocked me I cant believe he's still doing this!
Hi! Twenty years and we're still doing this stuff. Hard to believe, but it's such fun! :)
Well done! Excellent all around, written well with great tie ins to the various shows and history.
I am so glad I found you through Mac's World. That was awesome!
Great story and VFX!
I wonder if showing the Indianapolis during Hunter's discussion about what he had heard in the past about this was on purpose and whether we'll see something regarding this in the future... 🤔
Also great looking Daystrom Institute 😁
Though I hadn't expected a Constitution class to still be around at the time of the Dominion War. I mean, okay, Mirandas and Excelsiors are still around a lot, but a Connie? A surprise for sure, but a pleasant one, with it being my favorite ship 🥰
Cool idea, the micro time travel jump
Wowsa! The spacecraft imagery is superb, as is Mr Cook's portrayal of a Starfleet Captain. I enjoyed the Prelude vibes. Will ping the IGG sometime over weekend. Wishing you and the team success and hoping to see many additional films.
Loved it. Really good way to move beyond some of the criticisms of some shorts being a one-person show by embracing that and making it part of the story. Kept me engaged for the runtime :)
This is Fantastic. Great job Samuel.
Thanks Chuck! Please...give me a more detailed review :D What do you think worked about it? Favourite moments?
@@SGUDistantHope The actor did great. The ships and visuals were stunning. Your hard work payed off.
You've absolutely nailed the lighting here. Feels like what DS9 or Voyager would have looked like if it was in high res with superior models. Excellent work.
Thank you! Thats very kind from someone as VFX talented as yourself! Its something i've been developing to match over the last 10 years, the Trek we know and love but in a modern HD form...could be straight out of one of the shows but new!
Was there any shots you liked in particular and for what reason? Since you know the challenges of doing such things ha!
@@SGUDistantHope I must agree with others, the shot at 6:00 is very nice. The parallax/actual interiors really sell that its an object moving in space. The camera, and that shot of both phasers firing back looks stunning! But also the shot at 6:50 when the ships drops out after the time skip behind the Jem'hedar is also fantastically lit. The ship has a real, metallic feel to it. Perfect amount of bounce light from the planet. I'll also add, I really like the Earth shots too!
This was such a well-made little film. Nick knocked it out of the park in both the flashbacks scenes as well as the documentary part, and the narrated bits were cut in perfectly. Sam's CGI work, as always, was top-notch -- especially with the greenscreen work obviously needed to put Captain Hunter into the Intrepid's mess hall. My only critique is that I would have liked to see Caed as well as hearing her voice. If you're going to have other actors do work for a film, you should also feature them as well, unless that voice is heard over the intercom or through a commbadge (that's the only time it makes sense not to show the person). A couple of cuts to Caid at the Ops station wouldn't have made this any less a Hunter-centric story.
Thanks Christina, really glad you enjoyed it. :)
I'd certainly have liked to have Caed and some of the other Intrepid crew appear in this, but that would have meant having to shoot their cutaways separately without Sam being present, since there was no way we were getting them to Sam's place (minimum five hours travel plus hotel costs). It's quite an investment in time and energy, and to be fair, my schedule is a lot more flexible than most of the other Intrepid cast. I think it was discussed, but I don't honestly recall the details of that conversation. :)
Also, I would have been pretty nervous as to how well we could match Sam's footage if we'd shot any cutaways ourselves (I don't think we did a great job on Long Way From Home). I'm much more confident we could (and have) since then, but at the time not so much. If we were doing this again, though, absolutely. :)
@@NickCookActingScribe Thanks for that explanation, Nick. I can definitely see where the logistics would make things difficult with cutaway shots if they're being done by different groups -- you definitely want things to be as seamless as they were in this film (and I didn't even notice a difference in Long Way Home, so I'll have to watch it again). Plus, I totally get the cost of travel being a pain! I'm sure you all do your best to schedule filming together when you can.
@@ChristinaMoore79 we try. I’d like to think we keep getting better. :)
@@NickCookActingScribe The quality of the cinematography, storylines, and acting have all improved immensely since "Heavy Wears the Crown".
@@ChristinaMoore79 thank you. :)
This is so good! Thank you! Great story and production all around. Seeing the Intrepid class together with the Defiant was so cool. Best Trek I’ve seen since Enterprise ended . Well done! 👍
Admiral Riker: 'It takes us years to build Intrepid Class ships'? ''Well it's time to change that'.
Samuel Cockings STRIKES AGAIN!!!
Samuel Cockings>CBS
Nick Cook is AWESOME
Hunter>Burnham
When will Hunter become an Admiral?
The graphics and animation in this were fantastic, well done!
Great job!!!! This was very entertaining and felt like an extension of Deep Space 9, why taking obvious styling nods from the Prelude to Axanar fan film. BTW, it was nice to see the both the Constellation Class and Constitution refit on screen again!!!
That was so good, well done to everyone who was involved!
Thanks John!,

Indeed! It was a blast to make! Hopefully people like the Documentary format as its a really nice format to work in!
What did you think of the film? Any highlights or thoughts in particular?
The visuals of the ships are absolutely amazing
Wonderful presentation. Quick, precise, well thought out, and engaging. More please. With a little thought and quality actors I can envision an expanded version making a film to rival the better episodes of TNG, DS9, or STO.
Would love to see more of these!

Was there anything about this film you particularly enjoyed?
Excellent job! I’m delighted to see another Intrepid adventure. Pulling from the Dominion War timeframe was an great idea. Fine VFX, story, and acting. Please continue!
I'm glad that small stories like this are still possible. I remember when they were trying to stop them and lost.
nah, they were never tying to stop fan productions and especially not smaller ones. Just make previsions to stop the huge ones with famous actors and million dollar budgets.

Another smashing success my friends, well done.
I am a big Trekkie fan and I have never heard the term bug ships, if you guys came up with it, well bloody done, that's cool.
I demand to see the Hunter manoeuvre referred to in future Trek!
ha! Start a Change.org! ;)
Was there anything else about the film you enjoyed in particular? Thanks for watching! :D
@@SGUDistantHope Pretty much loved everything except how slow the ships move, but as someone who has been doing a bit of animation I understand why...
This short film combines two of our favourite things - the amazing Nick Cook from Starship Intrepid and the awesome VFX work of Samuel Cockings! Great story, and in a different style too! :D
Really enjoyed this! Great work to both cast and crew 😁
Thanks so much James! Share the word as were crowdfunding for more films now!
Was there anything in the film you particularly enjoyed? We would love to know!
@@SGUDistantHope I liked the fact that you touched on the history of the character, how it affected him, his crew and ship. The graphics and quality of filming were very well done. Acting, dialogue both written and performance were top notch.
I just shared Captain Hunters post 😉😁
@@SGUDistantHope that said it was a good length and very enjoyable great job to all

My first thought was the Hunter maneuver, but really it's the Nesmith maneuver. True sci Fi fans should get that.
I really enjoyed this, fantastic job effects were fantastic loved the ship scenes, really great story
Nice job! Can’t wait for more. 🤙

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🇨🇦🥰🇨🇦 well done Commander!
Thanks Jessica! Anything about it you particularly enjoyed?
I really appreciate your remaining true to traditional Trek.
Very cool. A question about when the Intrepid was back at Starbase, is that a Constitution or a Wyvern class in the top left of the scene ?
I think it's a Constitution, but Sam would know for sure. :)
Very well done - and I'm a ST fan since the early 1970s, as soon as I was old enough to notice what was going on on a TV screen, and I'm pretty picky, so that's very high praise for me!
Thanks so much Mary! Was there anything in particular you enjoyed about the film? Anything that stood out to you? :D
A sharp fan film, well-acted and well put together. 🙂
Another nice character piece, this time on an established fan film favourite. And although not publicly acknowledged, the classified report on the encounter better have called the time skip "The Hunter Manuever"!
😊😊😊😊
Very good! Kudos to everyone involved!
Fantasy job, loved it!
Thanks Rhy!! Was there anything about the film you particularly enjoyed?
Absolutely fantastic :)

@@SGUDistantHope I loved the overall pro look of it. The CG was excellent... kudos to Cmdr Cockings there! Great uniforms. The tie-ins with DS9 & the "Picard Maneuver" were great too.
How do you get the graphics to look so damn good?!

Great film and a good and cost effective way of telling a story
Nice to see a constitution refit in the background !!
This is a very compelling story thank you
Always entertaining. I greatly enjoy the "Hunter-verse". (Patent pending)
This was so well done. Thank you so much.
5:33 *mathS Aside from that, this was excellent in every category. Impressive.
In our defence, we're pandering to the America audience. But I feel your pain. ;)
@@NickCookActingScribe Don't be afraid to be yourself.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX well that’s always good advice. :)
The ship effects look great!
i enjoyed this.But it reminds me of "Prelude To Axanar.Different times & different wars.Very good effort on this.
Where is part 1?
Hi Hola! Part 1? What do you mean. This is a stand alone in universe documentary fan film :D
@@SGUDistantHope oh I thought this was part of an ongoing fan made. Excellent! Didn’t realize this was a story by itself. Had me wanting more. Wish we could have more Star Trek like this on tv.
Hi there i really love this and i was wondering as a huge Star Trek fan and a colour grader if you had any scope for me to work on any productions you may have on the go at the moment or may have in the future? Thanks, Simon.
"While there are no "official reports" of any "Starfleet vessels" attempting this." Well played. HMS Bounty was not a Starfleet vessel.
Thanks Mathew! Its like...there are several instances but...Starfleet doesn't want them known as 100% confirmed. Rumours all around...but...Starfleet keeps a hardline.
That was my one moment of Starfleet Propoganda and i directed the actress to deliver it in quite a specific way!
@@SGUDistantHope very nice sir. Looking forward to more.
@@mathewdefreitas4510 Thanks Mathew! We are in desperate need of funds right now to continue our films.

💗 your show. very nice.😎
Very cool! 👍
Felizmente existem fan filmes para nos conectar com o verdadeiro espírito de Star Trek e fazer com no esqueçamos das porcarias que a franquia quer nos empurrar nos dias de hoje!! Muito grato!
That was really good!
Time to binge again I think
There was a scene of a mk3 constitution
Yes indeed! There are a few still flying around and of course would be refitted just as the Mirandas were!
What did you think of the film itself? any favourite parts?
Comment for the algo, this is criminally underviewed!
Ohhhh... Nick you genius. Bahah-ha! Good show, old boy.
I very much like the Constitution class ship being present at the starbase
