Red Sea - A Star Trek Fan Film

- The Hellas Class colony ship, USS Red Sea approaches a mysterious planet.
Set in the year 2223, I based the events of this short film on a line of dialogue from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, set in 2293:
Spock: "At the behest of the Vulcan ambassador, I opened a dialogue with Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. He proposes to commence negotiations at once."
Adm. Cartwright: "Negotiations for what?"
Spock: "The dismantling of our space stations and starbases along the neutral zone, an end to almost 70 years of unremitting hostility which the Klingons can no longer afford."
I worked with designer and subscriber Morgan Smiley on this video - the Starfleet ship Red Sea is based on his design which you can see more of here:

All feedback welcome. See the design history here:

Cudo's to whoever designed the USS Red Sea, it looks awesome and just right for the time period. Deserves a resin model.
i agree, great looking design but the warp nacelles are too close if we stick to cannon
The klingons nuked Hadley's Hope from orbit, it was the only way to be sure
Lol, well said.
Naming the shuttles after the characters in "Alien"??? LOVE IT!
the mining base was named hadleys hope, the name of the colony in aliens.
Damn, that Klingon Star Destroyer was so ticked off by the Federations presence that it set out on a six month journey just to attack them.
That reminds me of my WotLK days when I took my level 2 paladin to Northerend. The Lich King himself came flying off of the Frozen Throne just to gank me.
This is AWESOME!!!
As a model builder, I LIKE this ... 'ROBERTS-class' (colony-ship/security cutter) with the "pods" on its back!!!
IF.... I was the Captain of RED SEA, I would have used an empty pod with explosives inside to "clutter the field" with debris as I tried to escape the attack. As far as the colonists, one of the things I would have....if " I " was StarFleet, is to have a shield.."....to deflect any bombardment." (Star Wars quote).
Thanks and good idea. I spoke to the creator of the ship, Morgan Smiley, who gave me a load of really useful background information
@@chrislea1000 I Must Also Say..... this 'short story' that You produce is TOP NOTCH Stuff!!!
Good Show!!
The work of close ups, lights, soundtrack ....... the Editing!!! Truly, Superior Work!!
starting this film with a steppenwolf song was brilliant.
You continually supply us with the greatest content on the internet.
The greatest content on the entire internet? That seems to be an overly generous compliment.
Must say the Red Sea design is simply awesome
Thanks - based on a design by Morgan Smiley
The best part of the whole short was the opening scene. Magic Carpet Ride! Hell yeah! Well played!
There is so much in this, like the nod to "Alien", the effects, the story progression, and still you left us with, what's going to happen next, well done.
a federation ship just pumping out magic carpet ride is awesome especially as it is not a star fleet ship and i would assume that discipline and rules would be a bit laxer.
@@JeanLucCaptain The song wasn't actually coming from the starship. Rather, it was just part of the soundtrack of this short.
Great film, keep creating!
Great job on the Fed colony ship, it looked really cool.
Holy crap! Are those models? What a good little film. It looks like passion and talent intersected on the high ground. Thank you and more please.
Lifelong trekker since tas first run and tos syndication.
Dead nuts pre Tos ship designs while applying artful tech updates.
Nice job
Amazing Job!! I was so wrapped up I didn't even notice it was ending. Don't leave us hanging for long! 😀
That was a great bit of Trek content!!! The models look fantastic as well as the ship designs. Thank you for sharing. Bows
I really like these starships. Especially the Bird of Prey.
Amazing cinematography and sound design.
Fantastic work!
Also the Alien references, 10/10
Love the work! Great individualism by using the focusing effects. Makes the vessels seem far more real.
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for bringing this ship to life.👍 Also, I liked the nod to "Alien".
Fantastic, superb, stunning!! To all the cast & crew of this fantastic video, my greatest thanks for bringing us this wonderful film!! I can’t wait for the next episode in the series!! I want to know what happens next!!!
Please do the Eugenic Wars...
"Dallas to Lambert"... nice nod. :)
Brilliant as always :)
Excellent work!
Beautifully done!
WOW!!! Great work!!
Your animation is beautiful.
Nicely done! Thanks for this!!
Really slick work. The designs are quite pleasing.
Looks great, i wish i had the talent to do something like this
This is so good I love it amazing work😊
Was totally worth the wait. Really impressive
Hey been looking forward to this!
stunning animation!
The more I see of these ships the more I like them. You are or have some really talented designers.
Thanks - it’s a one man show
Wow!!! So much great stuff here. I especially liked the shuttles!
Glad you enjoyed it - did take a while to create :)
Wow! A bit alike Gerry Anderson's thunderbirds esque style of animation. Certainly that's a terrific trek fan film.
Did a great job on the ships, the colony and the graphics. I only wish there was more of it. Maybe next time.
Enjoyed the show!!! Well done. Thank you!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, more to come
I really like your ship models! They look like original Star Trek designs, but they have more details, like calssic Star Wars ships. This gives them a very "solid" feeling. It is basically an improved version of ST:Enterprise.
Really good job. Nice work. Even stayed true to Starfleets weak responses top attacks.
Interesting Design!! Placing more emphasis on functionality instead of looks!!
So they're just using old NASA Frequencies for short range communications! And using the alert beep!
Makes perfect sense!!
You deserve much more attention on RUclips 😊
It feels like it answers "What if Gerry Anderson directed Star Trek?" Incredible detail...just wow.
I hear the song magic carpet ride and I see it in my head the night shift playing music to pass the time.
very well done film-love to see follow up and get those klingon...
That was really good! I enjoyed it very much! RIBBIT!!!
I hear a little ST: Armada in there. Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed
Love the shuttle launch
Glad you enjoyed it
I like your movies so much!
Not gonna lie, I was expecting the colony to just vanish in an atomic fireball considering how strong photons are supposed to be as weapons. Unshielded it probably would have had no chance. I do appreciate aswell that you have got better at weapon impacts compared to some earlier videos where a large amount of shots would be fired at relatively short range and none would hit, so that's good.
I do like starfleet ships which tow stuff, especially the Ptolemy class. The Red Sea itself is neat and I like that some cargo containers were missing after they had been deployed though the colony did seem rather large for what they could hold, unless I am getting a bad sense of scale. Hearing colonisation shuttle and the scale of the ship does automatically irk me unfortunately as I've conditioned myself to think much, much bigger than that in terms of the hardware to make a true "colony," perhaps also because of how much I am into real spaceflight. In terms of the shuttles, I think I see runabout influence on the nose which is rather cool.
Love that magic carpet ride was used aswell, what else could have been honestly.
Also, nobody calls a colony hadley's hope without expecting some horrible accident to happen in one way or another, but that's gotta be the joke.
The colony ship is a neat design indeed
The U.S.S. Red Sea is an awesome design! It really does a superb balance of both honoring TOS design language and early fan and tech manual designs while also fitting into more recent movies and shows, tying things together really well. I only wish we could have more of this story--what prompted the Klingons to show up and attack, and how the colony fared following the blasts... I really wish budget and legalities allowed for more, as I'd love to see characters, the bridge, colony sets, maybe Klingon bridge sets, etc. And, I know that can only happen in my head for now...
Well, that was disappointing to see the Red Sea barely get of a shot or two and the Klingons got the upper hand on that one. But, Nicely Done!
Astounding!
Thanks for watching
Great ships. Solid BoP precursor.
Thanks, as intended
That was quite a surprising discovery. I like it.
This is not just an amzing animationn as always, it is a true work of art! Thank you!
*Remember the Red Sea!*
I love this ship design.
Mr. Lea, you are truly a master of the visual arts. The story and special effects are again TRULY EPIC. Well done and could you make this into a three- part story arc? On the early colonial history of the Federation on the border of Klingon Space?
Thank-You.
I would love to see that era shown through the eye of Mr. Lea in more depth!
@@sergioleone3583 That would be so much fun. This is me just thinking about it. 🤗
Best episode out of the series. Data lies, it's manipulated according to your agenda!
Thanks - and for watching
An incredible short film, but I wanna know more!
Very good and I can tell the klingons are mad as heck want someone to go have a talk with them i have a few ideas.
Nicely designed ships.
Excellent special effects, yet this feels like an unfinished story. The Red Sea should have put the shields up as soon as the anomaly was detected. The one Bird of Prey faced little resistance from the Red Sea. No photon torpedoes on that ship? The shields seemed to offer little resistance. Is their going to be a sequel to this story?
Wow! Everything looked great. I couldn't tell if these were models or CGI rendered ships (and that's actually a good thing.) I loved when the Klingons were flying at warp, that looked fantastic too. My only criticism or critique would have to be...in the beginning, where are the stars? There's no visible stars in the background for the first few minutes. Other than that, great job.
Thanks - may have the contrast too high or the environment texture too low. I'll turn the stars up in the next one :)
Sorry, if I have to say this but.....MORE .... GIMME MORE!!!! So Awesome!!!
Thanks, plenty more on the channel!
Imagine this had been the Discovery and Strange New Worlds aesthetic? (Sigh)
Cool to watch
Cool. Hope you do a follow up Vid.We need a rescue Sir!!
Good stuff.
Interesting ship
Hadleys hope! (The aliens colony). Love the reference
Glad you enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it
4:02 the clicking reminds me of a gas cooker
It's another good'un!👍
That was fantastic! The only critical thing i can add, if i may, is that the voices sound pretty bored for all the action of getting blasted out of space...
First experiment in AI voices, not that great. Thanks for watching
@@chrislea1000 it's my pleasure. You do great work.
I approve, not that it matters but there you go
I’m glad that you do
Could have done it without the Apollo beeps.
Yep the Captain was a idiot. Should have dumped the cargo pods.
On a ship design note the Klingon design looks VERY good and believable ship of the Empire. The starfleet ship is also a very good design.
More!
Outpost Hadley's Hope, eh? Ripley would approve.
Does anyone know what the klingons are saying?
This must have been during the time man figured it should send robots out to do the work. ☝️😌
Why did it sound like the captain was giving his orders over the telephone? Was he too busy to come to the bridge?
Wonderful production!
I always wonder why Shields aren’t automated. Almost every TS production has them being commanded verbally by the Bridge.
So loving these videos! Chris why dont you have Patreon or memberships???
Thanks Jeff, not good enough yet to ask for Patreon! Also, it’s a hobby and it’s been a way to get better at CGI. Thanks for commenting again
If you say so...well in anycase great work!
@@chrislea1000
Very well done. That Klingon Bird of Prey design is excellent. Your music mix was good too (bit of For 'All Mankind' with Magic Carpet Ride!)
Ignoring the BS that is 'Discovery', I don't think the shuttle bay should have had a shield in that era.
Hadlee's Hope...WATCH OUT FOR THE XENOMORPHS !!!!!
nice aliens homage to Hadley's hope
I always thought it would be called warp travel instead of warp speed. Cool video here though.
While I appreciate the Hellas class, what was wrong with using a Ptolemy class with colony support pod?
This is just *wrong.*
At ST-TOS, 02X15: "The Trouble with Tribbles", 00:46, Spock is saying that the battle was fought "23 SOLAR YEARS AGO" = either late 2244, or early 2245. That was the time of the first hostile clash between the Federation and the Klingons, *not* 2223 (and, by the way: *not* 2256, as _"disastrovery"_ had claimed, either... 🙂).
Best job sofar! You are really getting the hang of it! I think this one is good enough to promote on my channel. Have a great day sir!
What class of ship/purpose of ship is this?
There’s more detail in the description but it’s a Hellas Class Colony Ship
Once upon a time, being the IP holder gave absolute power over a franchise. That day is done. If the IP holder insists on not bringing out new content or bringing out garbage content, we can now make our own. I invite all my fellow Trekkers to enjoy another unauthorized novel completely free. Just google Star Trek Lost Destiny Race.
Fan fiction and fan films help generate attention for the franchise. It's free advertising for the IP holder. They allow it as long as it serves their needs. If it distracts from their franchise creatively or financially, they'll use the power of the courts - and ultimately men with guns - to shut it down.
@@frontporchanarchast You're right, but that wasn't the meaning I was trying to express. I'm old enough to remember before the Internet. Back then, someone could write a fanfic ST novel but would have no way to distribute it. Much less create a video with studio grade effects. That gave the IP holder overwhelming power over the IP. Now though, I can write and distribute my fanfic to the four corners of the world and good luck trying to slow the wind with the courts. Others with greater technical abilities can release videos better than the studios. Once upon a time, we might have used such fanfic as just a diversion between productions. However, since the IP holders have decided to treat the fans with contempt, we can just ignore them and enjoy the fanfics.
.. oh boy who's gonna tell him ElevenLabs has better AI voices???
Ohhh, thanks
Love the opening shot. Note too happy with the vooshy Bird of Prey, just doesn't fit Trek. Also I am not very happy with the slow disruptors, it feels wrong.
Other than that, fantastic work!
thats one weird looking miranda class
Interesting ship design. It look like cargo version of Bonaventure class. Do it has name?
Hellas Class, information on it and other fan designs can be found in the description.
They must be in a void... No stars...
