Sounds like it could be fun. I love how the teaser uses the Reaver music from the pilot episode of Firefly rather than music from Star Trek.

might be an idea to use BC ships, weve got a great set of wolf 359 ships available and all of them are very canon

I tend to do the voice work for the stuff Karl and I do (check out the Anime Music Video or "AMV" section on Karl's site - we've done lots of opening videos together), but we'll probably need some walla done for segments or dramatic reasons (like the background fleet chatter from "First Contact", orders being given, people screaming, etc.).
A script will be completed for large parts of this, as we want to account for ALL forty ships and what happened to them. The canon has names for about half of them; we have to fill in the rest of the ships and names. For the unknowns, I want to use mostly canon ship designs, but a kitbash or two may figure in there too if we can justify it.

Sounds great, though the nacelle are badly disproportionat on the Challenger. Mabye 25% too large compared with the saucer's size.

Cool. I think Timo's Guide mentions a few ships which were present at 359.

Well, yeah... But what does that have to do with anything?
The "BoBW" things specific to the Guide would be
1) The Melbourne of Excelsior class is registered NCC-52043, and is not in active service but being rebuilt after taking damage in the Cardassian War; she's supposed to be renamed the Corinth when completed. The Melbourne of Nebula class is there, too, is in active service, and carries the registry NCC-62043.
2) Present in the fight but unseen or unmentioned by other sources were the Polaris class Lightning (NCC-9015; the DS9 kitbash with Constitution saucer); the New Orleans class Alexandria and Lancer; the Challenger class Stafford (NCC-57531); and the Rigel class Nehru (NCC-62559). All were of course lost.
3) The four-nacelled Excelsior study model glimpsed at Wolf 359 is the Wambundu class of light cruisers. The triangular McQuarrie study models are early 23rd century carriers; in case those were present, the long one would be the Titan class, and the short one the Valkyr class.
4) The unmanned torpedoes flown from Mars would be "Colt" drones converted from mid-23rd century Mustang class corvettes.
Apart from those, it's all just a rehash of canon or novel continuity or of speculation that can be found at Bernd's Wolf 359 analysis page.
Mind you, I'd also like to see some POST battle designs, which by their NCC numbers should have all rights to be there, like the gang from First Contact. Not in huge numbers, but they really ought to have some representation.

Hmm...mabye have an older Akira with square lifeboats and Galaxy style phaser rings/transporter emitters- just to be snarky.
I'd like to see a Probert-Amby and Sternbach's "Pegasus" design in there as well (the one I made my model from). What are you doing for the Rigel design? I gots one of those too: Photoshoppery by Andrew.
Hmmm....the Centaur and Medusa (third nacelle down!) designs would be nice additions to the mix.
But I'd keep it mostly small-ish ships: this as where Starfleet's arrogance really cost them, after all.
