Omg nothing short of amazing. Talented writer and editor to stitch these voice clips together. I’m a die hard Star Trek fan and this really passes muster. I’m really impressed.
Through so many means, Star Trek has been kept alive. It first aired just before my first child was born and now I am 76 with grandchildren...at least 2 generations of Star Trek fans with more adding on. I am delighted!
JayDene Kail HELLO JayDene! (You have a Very Star Trek Universe Name!) THANK YOU, I am Robert, the developer behind 'Beyond Antares'. I am, just this week coming back to the project to finally finish part 3 and move beyond leading the way, jnto the Star Trek Fan Film *in VR* era! I saw so little actual support when I made this, that I hot discouraged and stepped away from it. But, rather than a lot of interest all at once, more like a slow burn.. people have discovered this over time, sending their compliment, and though *very few* ever send help to build better equipment, (a total of 5 people have sent between $20 and $50 in all these long years and THATS IT, not even enough to buy even a single GPU computer card. HOWEVER, when I look past that,. the compliments have accrued to the point where I really want to finish regardless of near universal lack of support, for the people who really liked it, and maybe couldn't afford to help make it happen, but want the rest of the story. SO, I'm biting the bullet and going to finish asap and then tackle animating the next 18 episodes (I already have ready & edited in audio form). So, to that end: *I sold most of my belongings and built one good modern computer to work on to complete Beyobd Antares!* My 78 year old Air Force Pilot Brother from Missouri, (who I lost recently, we were very close), loved Star Trek (and my work too). I sure wish I had finished this for him, if no other reason. But I am doing so now! I think he would be proud that even though I could not drum up any real support or help from the fans, I took the initiative and sold my precious telescope, some tools and and other things, for my work and my Art in order to be pro-active and move forward somehow. I will unfortunately need more power than just the one computer to render, at least one more to render WHILE I work, but will just have to hope I find some way to make that happen, I can't let lack of immediate enthusiasm from the Trek community hold me back anymore, I have to make my Art regardless. A viewer surprised me and paypal'd $20 last week-that was a big part of what spurred me on ever since, a tiny drop in the bucket, but a beginning and it shows me there is still real interest. I am waking up happy again and getting right to work so.. I'm back! It won't be long now, I have to build at least one second machine, so I can render (calculate final output) on one, while working and creating new scenes on the other, thats my biggest limitation right now, that I can't do both at the same time. The hours and days the computer is rendering are hours and days Lost, where I have no machine to work on. (Rendering takes 100% of computer resources). I literally have 18 more episodes, all with the real voices ready, a new Trelabe, a new Harry Mudd, a 2 part Klinhon ep. with JG H. Klingon actor. I could right now, easily be outputting one new episode every 3-4 months for 4+ years, *if only I had a few more modern computers.* It has always been such a struggle with every odd imaginable against me. 3 years battling cancer, never having or able to use *"the right tool for the job" as Mr. Scott would say,. But I'm Gonna Finish! :")* THANK YOU for your kind words! Robert 'Woody' England email/paypal/inquiries: Robert@Starfleet.com
Took 9 years me to be recommended this. I'll admit I did not deepen my search to typing "Star Trek Miracles" mind you but heavens to Betsy, who'da thot those 3 words would lead to a very well crafted piece(s) of art.
Thank you! I needed that today. (About to become homeless...) I am very depressed and nothing is working out or going right in my life, but it was very nice to get such a thoughtful compliment and comment. Thank you!
Fear the notion Awesome:) Thanks! You noticed, It took forever to mind Majel Barret saying the word 'Maelstrom' but it worked into that part so well! :)
His work is a masterpiece! It's wonderful. If people had any idea of the work needed to make something of this magnitude, would not criticize small details. It's like I watched an episode lost! It brought tears to my eyes. AMAZING and POWERFUL. Thank you very much for bringing old times back!
netsfera Thank you so much! Ever since I have uploaded, I have had to spend more time deleting rude comments and 'complaints' than Animating! It is so nice to know that some people are smart enough to know what goes into a project like this, I have created many more full length stories (17 more after Beyond Antares, that are complete, but many more are possible) in Audio form (complete with sound effects and musical scoring re-recorded by the Royal Philharmonic at Abbey Road Studio!) All I need to do is Animate them. My plan is to do a Crowd Funding Campaign, in order to purchase the equipment and hire a few animators, to Re-Create the TOS Look PHOTOREALISTICALLY! The Star Trek 50th Anniversary, is coming right up, and now that Terminator:Genesys has shown it is finally possible to recreate beloved characters from our past - I think it is time to make the LOOK of the characters commensurate with the Audio miracle I have wrought, 18 NEW, Essentially LOST, 45-minute long, TOS EPISODES. We have to make this happen. This month I am making the plan. I will model it generally around the STAR TREK Captain PIKE Crowd Fund Campaign, and create a 'making of' incorporated into a video explaining the project etc. The first episode will be done by then - but I will explain that, as much work as I put into it, I STILL consider it PLACEHOLDER video. I freely admit it is almost nothing, Compared to what could be done with MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER... With one machine one to work with, I have been Ultimately Limited in every way. With multiple Machines however, the Limits Fall away and one can make the characters look and move ever more realistically! If you want to be involved, PLEASE Email me at Robert@StarFleet.com I need everything: from people simply helping to spread the word (Once the campaign has begun) to someone to actually Sit in front of a bluescreen (in perhaps an Admirals Uniform), and read a script about the project entreating people to get involved, to buy into the project. I plan to try to give as many creative PERKS as possible up to and including:Guest Voices (and Credit) in future episodes. Recreating a donators look as a RED SHIRT etc. for episodic inclusion.Producer credit for large donations or involvement.Thank you for your interest!
Robert England It's so exciting to know that you have many ideas and a great desire to bring them to life. More exciting still know that plans are being refined. This work definitamente deserved an Emmy! I do not know practically nothing of the episodes originating from LPs and other sources that you mentioned and therefore, as I said before, it's like watching an episode that never aired. I look forward to the next release! Thank you again for bringing a smile to my face! Success!

Wow, what a great and creative work you did. To find and put together all the voice clips. And making those animations are so difficult without a render farm or motion capturing. Thank you for this wonderful episode. You did indeed go boldly.... he would be proud.
Thank You. You just gave me the impetus to sit and work on this, during this fine temperate California day! Glad you understand the difficulties in creating an entire world!
I sent the lad who made these episode a small donation as I am so impressed with the dialog effects. I got a wonderful thank you reply as it helped him buy an external hard drive to help his efforts. A little goes a long ways and he's very genuine so please think about sending him a few $.
Hello I'm contacting you from my other account hope you're still interested because things are gonna get really interesting now that there's AI that is capable of recreating actors and we have many many books from both TOS and T and G that could be turned into CGI episodes, And with the technology available today and the training I have done for the past 4 years in unrelention and other high in tools it could even look like the actual episodes that's how close we can get CGI characters today. All The tools in power I wish I had back then I finally have today. You were one of the very few people who donated to the effort and I sure do appreciate it to this day! Do you have VR by any chance? And do you like TNG as well?
Some, maybe most but DEFINATELY not all dialog from the game, this was a huge effort to make an 'episode' out of disjointed dialog! I re-ordered, edited extensively, added entire sections, made new sentences out of splicing etc.! Too bad Trek fans don't donate or I would have output the other 18 episodes by now with modern tools in Unreal Engine.
I never knew these even existed...I am amazed...I just discovered your work and these recordings.WOW!!! Please I can't wait to see part 3 and the conclusion of this episode. I am one who DOES consider The animated series canon 'because' it features the original actors voices...therefore YOURS are absolutely REAL episodes! Wonderful my friend!!! Thank you so much for doing these...

I don't think those who had comments about him understand how hard it is to do this type of animation. Again, well done!!
Thank You! If CBS goes a bit longer without attacking their fans, I may do a crowd fund, finish Beyond Antares and make the other 17 episodes! (To render my Alien world, I need ONE good computer, but no one ever donated enough for a good hard drive even...

Excellent, very close to the original and much better and more believable that 'just another animated' Star Trek, which was what I thought before clicking the link. Also much better than videos using different actors playing iconic roles. I'm looking forward to watching the whole series.

How have you been Bill? In my free time I have taking this project back on. I now have the ability to recreate the characters, in photo-real manner, use AI to give them personalities and the correct voices... I've even turned Majel Barrett voice into a text-to-speech computer voice! I'm going to be releasing 1701 as a VR Adventure soon. So you have VR yet? :)
Love IT!!...Excellent animation, story line, effects...Kirk, Spock missing, The Doc, Sulu, Chekov, Uhura...The Enterprise....always something ultra fantastic; inter-dimensional beaming of humans; & other mind bending happenings...When it comes to this crew...(smile)....thx a....TREKEE from the Start....TheSuntan1....thx Rob England i personally look forward to more!!..."BRAVO"!!!

You are most welcome....Mr. England...I find your work intriguing...story line fascinating......art/effects and concept above Outstanding!!.....Continue to Be AWESOME...LIVE LONG and Continue To Prosper...Suntan1NY OUT and UPP!!....
Doutel de Andrade Thank you! I no longer have the computer equipment I need to finish this or work on the 17 other episodes in VR, but at least I was able to make this before my one good computer broke!
Thanks! Although, I have 18 more 45-min episodes, all much better than Beyond Antares, 'in the can' and waiting for visuals. A new Harry Mudd ep, a new Trelane ep. A Klingon 2 parter, etc. , all with the original actors voices in new stories. I think I am going to end up making them as VR interactive Holodeck Adventures. It's slow going with so little support for pro equipment... (for instance in 2018, I got $10 from one person...) Happy Holidays!
I’ve literally just found this video, it’s January 2023. Some of the comments are very old. What happened in the end? Is this a complete series now? I need to know! Love it! LLAP 🖖🖖🖖
This is well done, all things considered. It must represent a hell of a lot of work. Glad there wasn't much walking. They mostly look like they have shit themselves. LOL :D Thanks for the fun.
Jimmy Doohan was a real, no shit WW2 hero! He was shot multiple times on D-Day and got a finger blown off!! He is literally my HERO! (He was shot 6 times!!!). I miss you Jimmy! RIP
The only Star Trek event I have ever been able to go to, was to see Jimmy get his Star on the walk of fame! Uhura and Chekov were there. It was really cool!
Can't wait for Part 3 and the following 16 episodes. Keep up the great work! I would even love to see what CHDanhauser could do with one of the new episodes you have created. His stuff looks like the old Saturday morning Star Trek episodes but nobody can top your voices and sound effects. I love all the great Trek Fanimation on youtube. Good luck with your funding.

Beau Wyatt Johnson Thank you Beau! The plan now, is to turn the other 18 (really!) episodes I have prepared (as audio teleplays) into 3D 360° VR 'Holodeck Stories'. I can't wait to Animate, Klingons, Hrry Mudd and Trelane! My funding requirements have gone down by 90% as technology has advanced so, since I started this. I hope I can find a small handful of people, to fund just a few thousand, with which I can output a new episode every 4 months for 4 and a half years! The best deal ever offered, LOL ;") Truly, I have developed 18, new full length Star episodes, each as complex and flowing as Beyond Antares, all unheard by anyone but me. I only hoped Beyond Antares would serve as prove (and be proof of concept) of what I have and have made. With the right tools and new techniques, I can improve the quality exponentially. I have developed and written a book on Fast Character Animatio. I am so ready yo get back to this if only I had One Good Machine! If you or anyone would like to donate towards the effort, I guarantee every penny will go towards hardware to achieve *our* goal. I am chomping at the bit to move forward, to gain access to a modern GPU and start to churn out footage like only modern equiptment will allow. *With as little as $1,200-$2,000 I can buy the cards (etc.) that I need to finish the final segment of Beyond Antares (with it's complex Alien Scene) Get Spock Rescued at Last, LOL and then get immediately started on the first VR Episode. I would even extend to anyone who helped with that amount or more, the honor of pretty much deciding which of the 18 episodes I should do first in VR! *Any help Paypal'd to Robert@**StarFleet.com* will generate a mountain of personal goodwill and fun shared exclusive production tidbits as I work, unleash a torrent of creativity, spread a Tsunami of Behind the scenes VR Vignettes and Technical Tutorials as I document my work *for my new Partner* and most importantly, give nearly another entire SEASON of full length TOS episodes to the fans. Surely no $1,200-$2,000 ever spent, generated so much, FUN!
We kill to live and live to die.If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose. We must explore the center of our Plane directly under Polaris at Magnetic North and the lands beyond our ice wall to see if Hyperborea exists and if there is a portal out of this no win situation.
+Jesse How Hey Thanks :) I am glad to hear that. I am having a bad week. I saw a thread about my work at TrekBBS and it was a Large Group of people bitching about it and being vicious about details and missing the big picture that you seem to have no problem seeing... Thanks again!
+Robert England I meant it. Finding the right audio alone must take a tremendous amount of time. I've done similar work without the cg, and it is not quick. I'm always looking to support my fellow trekkies. Do you need help or donations?
+Jesse How I greatly appreciate the offer. It has been a long lonely road -I still only have a Single Desktop to work on, and desperately need not only a portable computing solution (so I can get outside once in a while this summer and keep working), along with additional computers to help make the next big thing I am doing happen! ('Beyond Antares' is merely a proof of Concept!) The help I need is literally: more computing power (or modest funding to buy what I need) to make the look more 'Hollywood' - The only difference is they have 100's of machines where I have only one, to try to get the same 'look'! I would be happy with 10 and could create photo-realistically. There was recently an article about my work and my new Trek project (Set in the the Motion Picture Era) and a Venture to try to make the Holodeck Real (using Ultra-HD 3D VR) ;) If you would like to take a look: www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-1/ and part two is here: www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-2/ THANK YOU FOR THE INTEREST!

Blimy, having never played any of the games this is a rare treat to hear the original actors in something "brand new" to me. Have watched the first couple of minutes, but I'll wait until 3/3 is finished to enjoy it as a complete episode. Because the internet has made things so accessible these days, we've seen many fans getting together to make TOS come alive again. The great work of ST Phase2/New Voyages; ST Continues; the numerous pod casts (Mission Log is a fave of mine)...but this really is something potentially special - and all done by one bloke apparently! Well done to Robert, a trek fan who's going above and beyond all on his lonesome. It's a lot of money you're asking for and I hope you get some big hitters to help make it happen...just also hope that (as you're using original voices etc) you get everything sorted out morally and legally, I wouldn't donate myself unless that was all above board. We've seen how Thunderbirds has been re-born in CGI, 40 odd years after it was made - lets hope CBS will either give you the nod to continue without profit, or maybe even help out and take this on board. Good luck, LLAP!
Then you are my perfect (and intended) audience! Someone who realizes this is essentially; New Old Trek. Dare to dream, the impossible dream ;) Part 3 coming very soon! THEN: Crowd funding for the 17 additional full length episodes that I have prepared (in audio timeline form with fx and music) which now wait to be animated! Thank you for your interest!

Awww! I have 17 full length episodes ready including a Klingon two-parter. My idea was to make this one, to prove that I have the capability to do it, and then do the other episodes not just in video like this, but also in VR like Holodeck adventures and make the person watching it a part of the adventure a redshirt or that kind of thing but I after doing hundreds and hundreds of man-hours to make Beyond Antares I was never able to finish it because once I got to the really complex part, rendering the alien World with ithundreds of effects of thousands of objects and I wasn't really able to render but a little bit of that with the home computer I had and still have in all this time no one donated enough for me to even buy a little extra hard drive space or mousepad so the project kind of died of unnatural death I'm ready to pick it up and continue at any time but right now I have to delete old work in order to make anything new because I don't have any resources especially after a year of being stuck at home with covid-19 time learning Unreal Engine so I can now make the Enterprise in VR I can make the episodes in the VR I can make anything in VR but I need modern computing power. Care to help? Paypal.me/StarTrekNext5 If you did help you would become a friend of the production and enjoy private updates, An interactive 1701 in VR. Etc. I had planned a crowd fund but Axanar came along and ruined everything just as I was about to start asking for help. My project dying is a great shame and loss to the Trek world, for these are good stories. Trek stories. -Woody
Usng the old video games, their movie appearances etc. I try to keep track of it all (or at least I did back then, no one helped enough even to buy a MOUSE PAD, so the other 17 episodes I had created the audio for, will probably go to my grave with me.
I'm not used to having the secondary characters having that many lines on a regular episode. And is it just me or a couple of regulars have different toupee from normal?
LOL, Yeah I'm really trying to give them a LOT of extra dialog! 18 more episodes waiting to be animated. I sure wish my viewers had helped me buy a dedicated workstation, (or even a good hard drive,.. lol... ). I would have been outputting new old Trek for years now.
Yes, definitely not a lost episode but very nicely done just the same, especially the voices. Pretty amazing what you can do just pull in the audio off of a couple old computer games. Well done.
ggbb503 Thanks! I'd hate for anyone to think the audio was in any way easy, I spent over a Year of work making just the audio 'teleplay' for this and the other 18 episodes I have ready.

Amazing work.. not easy to do this that's for sure so well done getting what you have done? One question.. why if the cast did all the recordings of the episodes here why did they not film them as normal? Seems so odd for them to do the acting as a episode was done but not film it too?

This is phenomenal Robert. Very well done on beating your cancer and it's fantastic that Gene managed to inspire and save yet another life from beyond the grave. What I'd like to know though is where the he'll you got all the unused dialogue? Did CBS give it to you?
Thank you! Actually, like the music, sound fx and 3D world building and animation, the Dialog is a bit of an iterative Artform as well! You can read about the details here in this 2 part article the Trekbwtiter Jonathan Lane wrote about my Art: axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-1/ axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-2/
Better TOS Kirk than that loser TNG Riker. At least Kirk would succeed. Whereas she'd see right through Riker's faux macho man bullshit and reject him outright 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Some inter-character banter seems a little "fannish" , but since they have more lines in this episode than in whole seasons, it is difficult to judge. Except for: Fantastic Work, you Sir are an inspired artist! My admiration to you and your work! CHEERS!!

Thank you very much! I'm starting to think about turning all the sets into one VR experience I don't know if CVS will do a cease and desist with the old truck but it's worth a try I think! Have you tried VR yet?
it is the real deal.all the real voices., in addition to voices from the 90's games, I have created a database that allowed to get them to say pretty much anything and together with all the games, shows and movies I was about to make a 4th season of TOS, but after all that work amd making this as proof, no one donated enough for a Computer Mouse, much less the workstation i would have needed to keep going. 18 more full length episodes, each better than this, will go to the grave with me I guess.

The 16 episodes are real and waiting to be filled out and animated... Nowadafs, I would not need a bunch of computers, just one good one. Nowadays I would also make them in VR!
Finally someone mentioned that! Cool, I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to pay due respect to Gene, especially since I have been (what I believe as blessed) with the clean copies of all this audio to make many more like this. My dream was always to work on some Star Trek, So I made my own :) Thank you.
thanks for the effort. People taking inititive to grow the idea is wonderful. Maybe one or two more people to help with the project would help and also give them a good experience for other work. Remember, even volunteer work counts as experience.
Thank you! I am now turning all my TOS sets into a VR Adventure! I mostly need help buying stuff for my existing computer like a large Hard Drive and way to backup my work. If you want to help, you can send via PayPal to SchoolHomevr@gmail.com ... I will put you on my special list and share much Trek goodness with you! I am in between jobs as the tech industry is a mess I could really use some help right now to be honest.
Thank you! I'm using all the sets that I created for this to make a little VR Adventure as well. I do have the other 17 full length stories I was going to produce in this fashion? Instead I'm going to use them as interactive elements in VR so that you can live the story with them does that sound interesting?
Great work. I've been a Star Trek fan my whole life. Your animation work is great, but I think your strongest skill is the audio work you did! Anyone can animate, but taking all of those unused sound bytes, editing, and piecing together in an organic flow is impressive. You should market yourself as an audio guy! I'm a musician and I know how painstaking sound editing can be. You've got a great ear! Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next 17...! :)
Thank you! The camera work has been mentioned occasionally , but few notice the flow and conversational feel! I even had to delete silences between every word in places. Because they read slowly in the soundbooths! I wish the blog article had generated more support, Axanar got a million dollars for a promise, I made 30 minutes of ep. 1 for free and nothing ever happened.
Anyone can animate? What a stupid naive thing to say. its obvious that this person can't and its the only thing that spoils it. Having said that, the animation is still way beyond most people's artistic and creative skill sets.
you did a fantastic job with Beyond Antares. I am anxious to see part 3 :D I was curious as to how you got the voices incorporated. Thank you. I love TOS (I like the reboot movies, but my heart will always belong to TOS characters. I am a major Spock And Kirk fan. )
THANK YOU! I am working feverishly to finish. I had a write-up recently, about this and my next project: (drumroll please...) set in T.M.P era! See here: www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-1/ and www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-2/ Thanks for the interest!
if i just listen to the video,its pretty frakkin Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work,sorry i didnt like the animated stuff,but you really did a Great job on the audio. i enjoyed it.
THANK YOU! Just a couple hours ago, I was going over what I need to finish and collecting my files together edit the final push. It's been awhile but with nearly 3,000 subscribers I owe it to finish!
Thank you for this. It's so nice to see the old gang back in action- but for part 3 may I suggest you dial back a bit the music cues and sound effects?- It's hard to make out some moments/dialog. Interesting that the original voices are all there. Such a lot of wonderful work- Oh, and keep fighting your good fight, Robert!

Omg nothing short of amazing. Talented writer and editor to stitch these voice clips together. I’m a die hard Star Trek fan and this really passes muster. I’m really impressed.
Through so many means, Star Trek has been kept alive. It first aired just before my first child was born and now I am 76 with grandchildren...at least 2 generations of Star Trek fans with more adding on. I am delighted!
JayDene Kail HELLO JayDene! (You have a Very Star Trek Universe Name!) THANK YOU, I am Robert, the developer behind 'Beyond Antares'. I am, just this week coming back to the project to finally finish part 3 and move beyond leading the way, jnto the Star Trek Fan Film *in VR* era! I saw so little actual support when I made this, that I hot discouraged and stepped away from it. But, rather than a lot of interest all at once, more like a slow burn.. people have discovered this over time, sending their compliment, and though *very few* ever send help to build better equipment, (a total of 5 people have sent between $20 and $50 in all these long years and THATS IT, not even enough to buy even a single GPU computer card. HOWEVER, when I look past that,. the compliments have accrued to the point where I really want to finish regardless of near universal lack of support, for the people who really liked it, and maybe couldn't afford to help make it happen, but want the rest of the story. SO, I'm biting the bullet and going to finish asap and then tackle animating the next 18 episodes (I already have ready & edited in audio form). So, to that end: *I sold most of my belongings and built one good modern computer to work on to complete Beyobd Antares!* My 78 year old Air Force Pilot Brother from Missouri, (who I lost recently, we were very close), loved Star Trek (and my work too). I sure wish I had finished this for him, if no other reason. But I am doing so now! I think he would be proud that even though I could not drum up any real support or help from the fans, I took the initiative and sold my precious telescope, some tools and and other things, for my work and my Art in order to be pro-active and move forward somehow. I will unfortunately need more power than just the one computer to render, at least one more to render WHILE I work, but will just have to hope I find some way to make that happen, I can't let lack of immediate enthusiasm from the Trek community hold me back anymore, I have to make my Art regardless. A viewer surprised me and paypal'd $20 last week-that was a big part of what spurred me on ever since, a tiny drop in the bucket, but a beginning and it shows me there is still real interest. I am waking up happy again and getting right to work so.. I'm back! It won't be long now, I have to build at least one second machine, so I can render (calculate final output) on one, while working and creating new scenes on the other, thats my biggest limitation right now, that I can't do both at the same time. The hours and days the computer is rendering are hours and days Lost, where I have no machine to work on. (Rendering takes 100% of computer resources). I literally have 18 more episodes, all with the real voices ready, a new Trelabe, a new Harry Mudd, a 2 part Klinhon ep. with JG H. Klingon actor. I could right now, easily be outputting one new episode every 3-4 months for 4+ years, *if only I had a few more modern computers.* It has always been such a struggle with every odd imaginable against me. 3 years battling cancer, never having or able to use *"the right tool for the job" as Mr. Scott would say,. But I'm Gonna Finish! :")* THANK YOU for your kind words!

Took 9 years me to be recommended this. I'll admit I did not deepen my search to typing "Star Trek Miracles" mind you but heavens to Betsy, who'da thot those 3 words would lead to a very well crafted piece(s) of art.
Btw, I want a official DVD 📀 of this series.
Thank you! I needed that today. (About to become homeless...) I am very depressed and nothing is working out or going right in my life, but it was very nice to get such a thoughtful compliment and comment. Thank you!
THANK YOU B.J. WEST (astrobeej) who made some important parts of the Bridge so I could pull this off!
I will chase this series round the moons of Nibia, round the Antares Maelstrom and round Perditions Flames, before I give it up.
Fear the notion Awesome:) Thanks! You noticed, It took forever to mind Majel Barret saying the word 'Maelstrom' but it worked into that part so well! :)
Can I be your navigator? Haaaaaaaa!!!!
Into Perditions flames.
From hells heart I stab at thee!
It tasks me, it tasks me and I shall have it!!
His work is a masterpiece! It's wonderful. If people had any idea of the work needed to make something of this magnitude, would not criticize small details. It's like I watched an episode lost! It brought tears to my eyes. AMAZING and POWERFUL. Thank you very much for bringing old times back!
netsfera Thank you so much! Ever since I have uploaded, I have had to spend more time deleting rude comments and 'complaints' than Animating! It is so nice to know that some people are smart enough to know what goes into a project like this, I have created many more full length stories (17 more after Beyond Antares, that are complete, but many more are possible) in Audio form (complete with sound effects and musical scoring re-recorded by the Royal Philharmonic at Abbey Road Studio!) All I need to do is Animate them. My plan is to do a Crowd Funding Campaign, in order to purchase the equipment and hire a few animators, to Re-Create the TOS Look PHOTOREALISTICALLY! The Star Trek 50th Anniversary, is coming right up, and now that Terminator:Genesys has shown it is finally possible to recreate beloved characters from our past - I think it is time to make the LOOK of the characters commensurate with the Audio miracle I have wrought, 18 NEW, Essentially LOST, 45-minute long, TOS EPISODES. We have to make this happen. This month I am making the plan. I will model it generally around the STAR TREK Captain PIKE Crowd Fund Campaign, and create a 'making of' incorporated into a video explaining the project etc. The first episode will be done by then - but I will explain that, as much work as I put into it, I STILL consider it PLACEHOLDER video. I freely admit it is almost nothing, Compared to what could be done with MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER... With one machine one to work with, I have been Ultimately Limited in every way. With multiple Machines however, the Limits Fall away and one can make the characters look and move ever more realistically! If you want to be involved, PLEASE Email me at Robert@StarFleet.com I need everything: from people simply helping to spread the word (Once the campaign has begun) to someone to actually Sit in front of a bluescreen (in perhaps an Admirals Uniform), and read a script about the project entreating people to get involved, to buy into the project. I plan to try to give as many creative PERKS as possible up to and including:Guest Voices (and Credit) in future episodes. Recreating a donators look as a RED SHIRT etc. for episodic inclusion.Producer credit for large donations or involvement.Thank you for your interest!
Robert England It's so exciting to know that you have many ideas and a great desire to bring them to life. More exciting still know that plans are being refined. This work definitamente deserved an Emmy! I do not know practically nothing of the episodes originating from LPs and other sources that you mentioned and therefore, as I said before, it's like watching an episode that never aired. I look forward to the next release! Thank you again for bringing a smile to my face! Success!

Wow, what a great and creative work you did. To find and put together all the voice clips. And making those animations are so difficult without a render farm or motion capturing. Thank you for this wonderful episode. You did indeed go boldly.... he would be proud.
Thank You. You just gave me the impetus to sit and work on this, during this fine temperate California day! Glad you understand the difficulties in creating an entire world!
I sent the lad who made these episode a small donation as I am so impressed with the dialog effects. I got a wonderful thank you reply as it helped him buy an external hard drive to help his efforts. A little goes a long ways and he's very genuine so please think about sending him a few $.
Hello I'm contacting you from my other account hope you're still interested because things are gonna get really interesting now that there's AI that is capable of recreating actors and we have many many books from both TOS and T and G that could be turned into CGI episodes, And with the technology available today and the training I have done for the past 4 years in unrelention and other high in tools it could even look like the actual episodes that's how close we can get CGI characters today. All The tools in power I wish I had back then I finally have today. You were one of the very few people who donated to the effort and I sure do appreciate it to this day! Do you have VR by any chance? And do you like TNG as well?
I too just found this amazing work of art. Have no idea how you did it, but I know it was a labor of love. Thanks for sharing your talent!
@@vinceburgess9012 Thank you so much. Am feeling very low and old and alone tonight. Was nice to hear some supportive comments!
@@NextWorldVR Such amazing talent...hopefully soon my situation will improve enough to donate to your cause
This is great and the repartee between Spock and McCoy is right on the money . Qupla ' .
That is great to hear, THANK YOU! (Saw this after 2 years.. been... depressed.)
Dialogue from Judgement Rites, the best Star Trek video game ever made.
LazarusRemains I thought that might be what it was from! Played that game waaaay back when I was a kid, but I couldn’t remember if there was audio!
Some, maybe most but DEFINATELY not all dialog from the game, this was a huge effort to make an 'episode' out of disjointed dialog! I re-ordered, edited extensively, added entire sections, made new sentences out of splicing etc.! Too bad Trek fans don't donate or I would have output the other 18 episodes by now with modern tools in Unreal Engine.
I have never seen any of the animated episodes, so these are all new to me! Thank you for giving me new TOS episodes after almost 50 years!!
That's exactly how I feel and precisely why I made them. Thank You!
Man if this were a weekly series i would tune in for sure!!!!
I never knew these even existed...I am amazed...I just discovered your work and these recordings.WOW!!! Please I can't wait to see part 3 and the conclusion of this episode.
I am one who DOES consider The animated series canon 'because' it features the original actors voices...therefore YOURS are absolutely REAL episodes!
Wonderful my friend!!! Thank you so much for doing these...
Thank you so much! Paet 3 vwery soon then Crowd Dund campaign to Animate the rest of the eighteen 45-minute episodes I have ready as audio teleplays.

I totally agree, Star Trek Continues is outstanding.
Live Q&A works best for me Friday evenings. Glad to see you not looking so beat. Best of luck in your new location.
I admire the determination and hard work you put into this. Commendable, Captain!
Absolutely fantastic! I am a die hard trekkie and this was my first time even seeing your work... I can't understand why some studio hasn't picked you up, because the quality of what you did was really good. Well done! Oh, and Spock turned out pretty well... I don't think those who had comments about him understand how hard it is to do this type of animation. Again, well done!!
As a fan of star trek thank you. Star trek lives
Thank You! If CBS goes a bit longer without attacking their fans, I may do a crowd fund, finish Beyond Antares and make the other 17 episodes! (To render my Alien world, I need ONE good computer, but no one ever donated enough for a good hard drive even...

"I don't have a plan - and don't call me Shirley."

Bloody hilarious. The humor is great. Well done I have to watch it again.
in the industry this would be an animated storyboard. diligent work :)
Keep them coming, "grew up on Star Trek"
I love this star trek animation, Great Job!! Also the characters voices in this episode sound very accurate. Overall I can't wait to see more!
Trekkiegirl88 WHOA!, Trekkiegirl88 commented on my work, Thank you! ;")
Excellent, very close to the original and much better and more believable that 'just another animated' Star Trek, which was what I thought before clicking the link. Also much better than videos using different actors playing iconic roles. I'm looking forward to watching the whole series.
First time to watch the cartoon. Excellent! Same voices, same sound effects, excellent writing! Good job.
Stunned and amazed at the level of audio skill on display here... nicely done!
Live long and prosper dear friend. You have both vision and talent.

This is like taking a big bong rip of Star Trek. Curiously, satisfyingly hilarious!
Generally, I do not care for animation but I am a Trekie, keep these videos please keep coming.
How have you been Bill? In my free time I have taking this project back on. I now have the ability to recreate the characters, in photo-real manner, use AI to give them personalities and the correct voices... I've even turned Majel Barrett voice into a text-to-speech computer voice! I'm going to be releasing 1701 as a VR Adventure soon. So you have VR yet? :)
Love IT!!...Excellent animation, story line, effects...Kirk, Spock missing, The Doc, Sulu, Chekov, Uhura...The Enterprise....always something ultra fantastic; inter-dimensional beaming of humans; & other mind bending happenings...When it comes to this crew...(smile)....thx a....TREKEE from the Start....TheSuntan1....thx Rob England i personally look forward to more!!..."BRAVO"!!!
"INDEED FASCINATING" !!!

You are most welcome....Mr. England...I find your work intriguing...story line fascinating......art/effects and concept above Outstanding!!.....Continue to Be AWESOME...LIVE LONG and Continue To Prosper...Suntan1NY OUT and UPP!!....
What the!!!! Why am I just seeing this now????? More please!
I am speachless after that impressive post. One man made, great job, crossing a path so hard. Congratulations! And I did like the result!
Doutel de Andrade Thank you! I no longer have the computer equipment I need to finish this or work on the 17 other episodes in VR, but at least I was able to make this before my one good computer broke!
Sound and vocals are authentic. A good scriptwriter to keep the episodes going. One person can't do it all!
Thanks! Although, I have 18 more 45-min episodes, all much better than Beyond Antares, 'in the can' and waiting for visuals. A new Harry Mudd ep, a new Trelane ep. A Klingon 2 parter, etc. , all with the original actors voices in new stories. I think I am going to end up making them as VR interactive Holodeck Adventures. It's slow going with so little support for pro equipment... (for instance in 2018, I got $10 from one person...) Happy Holidays!
Wow!An animated Star Trek!This is wonderful!
Thank you! It was a passion project...
Great!- I love TOS most of all ST. And seeing Kirk dubbing the main theme,was really cool,witty and most of all,funny.:) Keep up! :)
I’ve literally just found this video, it’s January 2023. Some of the comments are very old. What happened in the end? Is this a complete series now? I need to know! Love it! LLAP 🖖🖖🖖
Without Gene Roddenberry without Star Trek there be no science fiction at all God bless Gene Roddenberry on his creation of Star Trek
I'm amazed at the qualities of the voices.
This is well done, all things considered. It must represent a hell of a lot of work. Glad there wasn't much walking. They mostly look like they have shit themselves. LOL :D Thanks for the fun.
Jimmy Doohan was a real, no shit WW2 hero! He was shot multiple times on D-Day and got a finger blown off!! He is literally my HERO! (He was shot 6 times!!!). I miss you Jimmy! RIP
The only Star Trek event I have ever been able to go to, was to see Jimmy get his Star on the walk of fame! Uhura and Chekov were there. It was really cool!
Well done the voices are excellent. Uhura llooks really great. 🖖👍❤️🌹
Absolutely fantastic! 10 stars.
Can't wait for Part 3 and the following 16 episodes. Keep up the great work! I would even love to see what CHDanhauser could do with one of the new episodes you have created. His stuff looks like the old Saturday morning Star Trek episodes but nobody can top your voices and sound effects. I love all the great Trek Fanimation on youtube. Good luck with your funding.

Kudos, The characters are great!
Awe-inspiring Work, Story, and Backstory.
Thank you for sharing.
Beau Wyatt Johnson Thank you Beau! The plan now, is to turn the other 18 (really!) episodes I have prepared (as audio teleplays) into 3D 360° VR 'Holodeck Stories'. I can't wait to Animate, Klingons, Hrry Mudd and Trelane! My funding requirements have gone down by 90% as technology has advanced so, since I started this. I hope I can find a small handful of people, to fund just a few thousand, with which I can output a new episode every 4 months for 4 and a half years! The best deal ever offered, LOL ;") Truly, I have developed 18, new full length Star episodes, each as complex and flowing as Beyond Antares, all unheard by anyone but me. I only hoped Beyond Antares would serve as prove (and be proof of concept) of what I have and have made. With the right tools and new techniques, I can improve the quality exponentially. I have developed and written a book on Fast Character Animatio. I am so ready yo get back to this if only I had One Good Machine! If you or anyone would like to donate towards the effort, I guarantee every penny will go towards hardware to achieve *our* goal. I am chomping at the bit to move forward, to gain access to a modern GPU and start to churn out footage like only modern equiptment will allow. *With as little as $1,200-$2,000 I can buy the cards (etc.) that I need to finish the final segment of Beyond Antares (with it's complex Alien Scene) Get Spock Rescued at Last, LOL and then get immediately started on the first VR Episode. I would even extend to anyone who helped with that amount or more, the honor of pretty much deciding which of the 18 episodes I should do first in VR! *Any help Paypal'd to Robert@**StarFleet.com* will generate a mountain of personal goodwill and fun shared exclusive production tidbits as I work, unleash a torrent of creativity, spread a Tsunami of Behind the scenes VR Vignettes and Technical Tutorials as I document my work *for my new Partner* and most importantly, give nearly another entire SEASON of full length TOS episodes to the fans. Surely no $1,200-$2,000 ever spent, generated so much, FUN!

Congratulations. This really is brilliant.
What a labor of love.
Well done on this fanfilm.
Thank you!
We kill to live and live to die.If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose. We must explore the center of our Plane directly under Polaris at Magnetic North and the lands beyond our ice wall to see if Hyperborea exists and if there is a portal out of this no win situation.
Well Done!
Oh wow! Anyone that cannot see the work and time involved in this is missing the true workmanship. I'm a fan already. Wonderful work!
+Jesse How Hey Thanks :) I am glad to hear that. I am having a bad week. I saw a thread about my work at TrekBBS and it was a Large Group of people bitching about it and being vicious about details and missing the big picture that you seem to have no problem seeing... Thanks again!
+Robert England I meant it. Finding the right audio alone must take a tremendous amount of time. I've done similar work without the cg, and it is not quick. I'm always looking to support my fellow trekkies. Do you need help or donations?
+Jesse How I greatly appreciate the offer. It has been a long lonely road -I still only have a Single Desktop to work on, and desperately need not only a portable computing solution (so I can get outside once in a while this summer and keep working), along with additional computers to help make the next big thing I am doing happen! ('Beyond Antares' is merely a proof of Concept!) The help I need is literally: more computing power (or modest funding to buy what I need) to make the look more 'Hollywood' - The only difference is they have 100's of machines where I have only one, to try to get the same 'look'! I would be happy with 10 and could create photo-realistically. There was recently an article about my work and my new Trek project (Set in the the Motion Picture Era) and a Venture to try to make the Holodeck Real (using Ultra-HD 3D VR) ;) If you would like to take a look: www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-1/ and part two is here: www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-2/ THANK YOU FOR THE INTEREST!

Well done, I am impressed particularly considering the time, effort and determination required to do this.
Incredible work Robert. This is a very good story and magnificently put together. Worth of Star Trek indeed!!! I second the opinion that you should start a Kickstarter or Gofundme campaign. I believe you would be successful. I cannot wait for Part 3!!

Blimy, having never played any of the games this is a rare treat to hear the original actors in something "brand new" to me. Have watched the first couple of minutes, but I'll wait until 3/3 is finished to enjoy it as a complete episode.
Because the internet has made things so accessible these days, we've seen many fans getting together to make TOS come alive again. The great work of ST Phase2/New Voyages; ST Continues; the numerous pod casts (Mission Log is a fave of mine)...but this really is something potentially special - and all done by one bloke apparently! Well done to Robert, a trek fan who's going above and beyond all on his lonesome.
It's a lot of money you're asking for and I hope you get some big hitters to help make it happen...just also hope that (as you're using original voices etc) you get everything sorted out morally and legally, I wouldn't donate myself unless that was all above board. We've seen how Thunderbirds has been re-born in CGI, 40 odd years after it was made - lets hope CBS will either give you the nod to continue without profit, or maybe even help out and take this on board.
Good luck, LLAP!
Then you are my perfect (and intended) audience! Someone who realizes this is essentially; New Old Trek. Dare to dream, the impossible dream ;) Part 3 coming very soon! THEN: Crowd funding for the 17 additional full length episodes that I have prepared (in audio timeline form with fx and music) which now wait to be animated! Thank you for your interest! Be sure to 'subscribe' so you get an email when I upload Part 3.

Oh What a wonderful Late Night Find!!
Thank you so much for making this. 1000 times better than Alex Kurtzman's 3 inconsistent seasons of ST:D! Excellent story!
Awww! I have 17 full length episodes ready including a Klingon two-parter. My idea was to make this one, to prove that I have the capability to do it, and then do the other episodes not just in video like this, but also in VR like Holodeck adventures and make the person watching it a part of the adventure a redshirt or that kind of thing but I after doing hundreds and hundreds of man-hours to make Beyond Antares I was never able to finish it because once I got to the really complex part, rendering the alien World with ithundreds of effects of thousands of objects and I wasn't really able to render but a little bit of that with the home computer I had and still have in all this time no one donated enough for me to even buy a little extra hard drive space or mousepad so the project kind of died of unnatural death I'm ready to pick it up and continue at any time but right now I have to delete old work in order to make anything new because I don't have any resources especially after a year of being stuck at home with covid-19 time learning Unreal Engine so I can now make the Enterprise in VR I can make the episodes in the VR I can make anything in VR but I need modern computing power.
Care to help?

If you did help you would become a friend of the production and enjoy private updates, An interactive 1701 in VR. Etc. I had planned a crowd fund but Axanar came along and ruined everything just as I was about to start asking for help. My project dying is a great shame and loss to the Trek world, for these are good stories. Trek stories. -Woody
Like fuck it is
Great keep it coming
How did you do the voices.? That's great !
Usng the old video games, their movie appearances etc. I try to keep track of it all (or at least I did back then, no one helped enough even to buy a MOUSE PAD, so the other 17 episodes I had created the audio for, will probably go to my grave with me.
@@NextWorldVR I'm sorry to hear that . What you did was great. Thank you for trying . So many visions are unrealized . Perhaps you're not yet done .
@@NextWorldVRwould u try a crowd funding this is fabulous
I'm not used to having the secondary characters having that many lines on a regular episode.
And is it just me or a couple of regulars have different toupee from normal?
LOL, Yeah I'm really trying to give them a LOT of extra dialog! 18 more episodes waiting to be animated. I sure wish my viewers had helped me buy a dedicated workstation, (or even a good hard drive,.. lol... ). I would have been outputting new old Trek for years now.
Yes, definitely not a lost episode but very nicely done just the same, especially the voices. Pretty amazing what you can do just pull in the audio off of a couple old computer games. Well done.
ggbb503 Thanks! I'd hate for anyone to think the audio was in any way easy, I spent over a Year of work making just the audio 'teleplay' for this and the other 18 episodes I have ready. You can read about the proces in this 2-part article: www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-1/

THANKS For the Interest! ;)
Amazing work.. not easy to do this that's for sure so well done getting what you have done? One question.. why if the cast did all the recordings of the episodes here why did they not film them as normal? Seems so odd for them to do the acting as a episode was done but not film it too?
Thanks for al the hard work you put into this... I really enjoyed it
Just sitting down to work, thanks for the thanks!

You've captured the pockmarks on Sulu's face
I think you are doing a great job. You did a spectacular job on. Lt Uhuru she looks great. Bones looks like he should and its a pretty good likness of him . Keep going !
This is phenomenal Robert. Very well done on beating your cancer and it's fantastic that Gene managed to inspire and save yet another life from beyond the grave. What I'd like to know though is where the he'll you got all the unused dialogue? Did CBS give it to you?
Thank you! Actually, like the music, sound fx and 3D world building and animation, the Dialog is a bit of an iterative Artform as well! You can read about the details here in this 2 part article the Trekbwtiter Jonathan Lane wrote about my Art:

"Actually it's a female" So Kirk will be seducing it at some point right?
HASEnoncorperated You know it! ;)
Lol right..!
Better TOS Kirk than that loser TNG Riker. At least Kirk would succeed. Whereas she'd see right through Riker's faux macho man bullshit and reject him outright 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The Antares Maelstrom sounds like Space’s Bermuda Triangle
Totally! :) Happy Holidays thans for checking it out. I am thinking about making the 1701 in VR ;)
Some inter-character banter seems a little "fannish" , but since they have more lines in this episode than in whole seasons, it is difficult to judge. Except for: Fantastic Work, you Sir are an inspired artist! My admiration to you and your work! CHEERS!!
The banter is from Star Trek Judgment Rights. 😅
Spock looks like Anjelica Houston just before she she pulls off her human face from "Witches".
Always been a Star Trek fan. Keep up the good work.

WOW, Incredible!
Thank you very much! I'm starting to think about turning all the sets into one VR experience I don't know if CVS will do a cease and desist with the old truck but it's worth a try I think! Have you tried VR yet?
@@NextWorldVR No, not yet, my son has and loves it
How great. Good job. Hope you get all the resources you need light speed.
Great Job!!! Excellent, God bless, and keep going! Thank you for the hard labor, PEACE.
Outstanding. Who is doing the voices for the characters?! They sound fantastic.
it is the real deal.all the real voices., in addition to voices from the 90's games, I have created a database that allowed to get them to say pretty much anything and together with all the games, shows and movies I was about to make a 4th season of TOS, but after all that work amd making this as proof, no one donated enough for a Computer Mouse, much less the workstation i would have needed to keep going. 18 more full length episodes, each better than this, will go to the grave with me I guess.
Are you rich? Save Star Trek paypal.me/StarTrekNext5
how much do you need to do this
@@jhj9296 At any time had I gotten a hardware upgrade it would have become possible. I kind of took the lack of support as lack of interest and lost interest... But it all still sits and waits ... The 16 episodes are real and waiting to be filled out and animated... Nowadafs, I would not need a bunch of computers, just one good one. Nowadays I would also make them in VR!
Also loved the tribute to Gene Roddenberry. I got teary eyed. Very interesting series. :)
Finally someone mentioned that! Cool, I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to pay due respect to Gene, especially since I have been (what I believe as blessed) with the clean copies of all this audio to make many more like this. My dream was always to work on some Star Trek, So I made my own :) Thank you.
thanks for the effort. People taking inititive to grow the idea is wonderful. Maybe one or two more people to help with the project would help and also give them a good experience for other work. Remember, even volunteer work counts as experience.
Love your work. What computer can you use.?
Thank you! I am now turning all my TOS sets into a VR Adventure! I mostly need help buying stuff for my existing computer like a large Hard Drive and way to backup my work. If you want to help, you can send via PayPal to SchoolHomevr@gmail.com ... I will put you on my special list and share much Trek goodness with you! I am in between jobs as the tech industry is a mess I could really use some help right now to be honest.
This was really cool!
Thank you! I'm using all the sets that I created for this to make a little VR Adventure as well. I do have the other 17 full length stories I was going to produce in this fashion? Instead I'm going to use them as interactive elements in VR so that you can live the story with them does that sound interesting?
@@NextWorldVR That would be awesome. I love how accurate the voices are.
There were several times during TOS where Uhura was singing. IIRC "Beyond Antares" was the name of the song on one of those occasions :)
Why do you think I named my episode 'Beyond Antares'? I know more Trek than anyone.. I watched all the TOS episodes, when they first ran on TV...
Great work. I've been a Star Trek fan my whole life. Your animation work is great, but I think your strongest skill is the audio work you did! Anyone can animate, but taking all of those unused sound bytes, editing, and piecing together in an organic flow is impressive. You should market yourself as an audio guy! I'm a musician and I know how painstaking sound editing can be. You've got a great ear! Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next 17...! :)
Thank you! The camera work has been mentioned occasionally , but few notice the flow and conversational feel! I even had to delete silences between every word in places. Because they read slowly in the soundbooths! I wish the blog article had generated more support, Axanar got a million dollars for a promise, I made 30 minutes of ep. 1 for free and nothing ever happened.
Isn't the audio taken from Judgement Rites?
Anyone can animate? What a stupid naive thing to say. its obvious that this person can't and its the only thing that spoils it. Having said that, the animation is still way beyond most people's artistic and creative skill sets.
you did a fantastic job with Beyond Antares. I am anxious to see part 3 :D I was curious as to how you got the voices incorporated.
Thank you. I love TOS (I like the reboot movies, but my heart will always belong to TOS characters. I am a major Spock And Kirk fan. )
THANK YOU! I am working feverishly to finish. I had a write-up recently, about this and my next project: (drumroll please...) set in T.M.P era! See here: www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-1/ and www.axanarproductions.com/fan-film-friday-star-trek-beyond-antares-part-2/ Thanks for the interest!
you're welcome. I wish I had an old computer to donate to you, but I am using a friend's laptop since I can't currently afford my onw.
if i just listen to the video,its pretty frakkin Awesome!
Thanks for all your hard work,sorry i didnt like the animated stuff,but you really did a Great job on the audio.
i enjoyed it.
Nicely done! I appreciate the time and effort!
Great work. I cant wait for the end of the episode!
THANK YOU! Just a couple hours ago, I was going over what I need to finish and collecting my files together edit the final push. It's been awhile but with nearly 3,000 subscribers I owe it to finish!
@@NextWorldVR We absolutely appreciate it
Thank you for this. It's so nice to see the old gang back in action- but for part 3 may I suggest you dial back a bit the music cues and sound effects?- It's hard to make out some moments/dialog. Interesting that the original voices are all there. Such a lot of wonderful work- Oh, and keep fighting your good fight, Robert!
