I'm confused here. You did the CGI for the episode? Do you regularlly work NV's for thier needs, sir?
If you look in the credits you'll find me along with my pal Alain Rivard and a few others.
I was asked by my good friends Lee Stringer and Ron Thornton if I had a nice Excelsior model and it so happened that I did.
So, no I don't contribute to NV on a regular basis, just this one. Seems to have been a strangely positive experience so far. Normally I loathe fan films.

I must admit that following the first episode of this series I wasn't terribly impressed. Starships maneuvering like fighter jets, extremely hackneyed dialogue, and the most contrived TOS cameo ever. All told, I'm extremely glad I was able to watch this story, which rests the bar about as high as fan productions have ever done it.

Ugh. It's got exactly one thing going for it: the special effects are as good as--and perhaps even more creative than--just about anything CBS is doing on this vaunted "remastering" of TOS. Aside from that, though, it's no better than any fan film. The acting is ridiculously bad and the story rips off/rehashes those of a number of sub-par TOS, TNG, and DS9 episodes. The whole thing seems like a caricature except for the eye candy, which provided sufficient justification for watching it. Once.
This new Flash presentation is quite nice, however. I'm a lot more likely to watch these if I don't have to download five or more video files to my hard drive, which I'm just going to throw away after watching. Once.
