this video is the perfect example of how music can make a video great; it adds everything to the mood and feelings
Frustratingly short but very refreshing. The spirit of TOS resonates heavily throughout this. Very excellent use of TOS' sound effects and music as well!

That's because they're using TOS and TMP music here. There's nothing new in this clip. This is all many years old now.
I could totally watch an entire series from this time period produced by you guys. Absolutely amazing.
That wonderful reuse of the Search For Spock soundtrack, and the amazing CGI. Many years of patiently waiting and still thrilled for every small update.
They should have given you guys the budget instead of Discovery. This is a much better story told in a true Star Trek fashion.

Far more watchable than Discovery, despite so little we we're allowed by CBS/Paramount. Thank you for keeping this alive! I hope you're folks can show the full thing some day.
The way they just plowed through the asteroids was something else. I like it!
It’s interesting how fan films can often seem to give Star Trek more real awe and wonder than the official shows. Happy Holidays, Axanar. 🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿🎄

@@jasonstark5575 Yea the Klingon theme is from when Kruge destroys the transport ship at the start of the movie. I think the piece used for the Ares is when Grissom is orbiting Genesis. Unfortunately though the original piece used during the battle is a bit jarring compared to these and could probably use some more tweaking. Some great use of the TOS weapon and engine effects though
My awesome dog Ares approves of your awesome work.

What a shame isn't it? Enterprise was the last good ST series and it had so much potential. You saw it in Season 4 wich felt like they desperatly tried to fit in all the story lines they had prepared for a way longer lasting series. Also they fixed or explained most of the plot holes of the other ST series. At this point in time the ST universe was perfectly explained and a greate platform for further way more exciting series and movies. And then they ruined it all with modernity nonsens.

Can you just imagine how good the Ares class would look with a refit treatment in the style of the Enterprise in TMP/WoK? With the angled linear nacelles and the impulse engine assembly of the era. The one point of difficulty would be somehow translating the torpedo launcher into its smaller more blended engineering hull. I suppose from an aesthetic perspective, you could take the base torpedo launcher, split in half and trim it, protrude the launchers from the hull like light sconces and stagger the placement like steps on a staircase, mirrored on both sides.

In the meantime something needs tuning on those impulse engines, I was worried there for a minute! GREAT VIDEO! 👍🏆
Wish the people at Paramount would fund you guys to make a series or a feature length movie!
Just the music cues told a story. Listened to this at first while I was working on a project and couldn't watch it, but I had a sense of what was happening just by hearing it. Nicely made.
The best 4 minutes of STAR TREK I've seen in years.
Love the 360 panoramic view of the bird of prey during this sequence. Haven't seen that much detail before. Sorry it's taken so long to catch up, but life gets in the way at times. Good job, and I hope you can keep it up, especially since this was a year ago. You are doing so well with your sequencing of shots and angles. Wish the other Star Trek franchises did the same. Been watching since 66, so the nay Sayers can just shut up. Love it. ------ Mike W.
Excellent fan-made film ! Navigating in that asteroid field would challenge any space pilot. That scene of the Klingon Bird of Prey chasing the USS Aries in that field 😳 of floating rocks was very realistic! Might we see more soon ?
Oh cool! You don't really get to see the deflector actually doing it's job, that's a great touch that stood out to me!
At the very end of the video, I can't help but whisper, "Goodbye David."
Excellent animation. I love that we finally get to see a deflector in use at 1:54. It is a sorely underutilized device in Star Trek. Those Klingons really need to fire their gunnery officer.
the visuals are great PLUS I really like that they have accurate disruptor sounds, although the Klingons seem to miss more.
Love the 1970s cartoon lazer sound effects.
Looks awesome!
Excellent work let’s see more real soon👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This clip is more entertaining than Picard Seasons 1 and 2 combined...
When outflying the enemy works just as well as outfighting them. ;)
Great dialog.
So love the TOS sound FX.
Lot's to love here. The sound design was amazingly consistent with everything mixed like it was made in the early 80s. When the ships enter the clouds - just great.
This looks great but with some interior bridge sequences between the exterior shots it would be perfect.🖖Keep up the good work.

It's the deflector and that is its purpose. It deflects everything all the time but we can see it when it's the asteroids. So, it's always working on star trek (except on AbramsTrek where they shoot things in their path, presumably coz the new generation doesn't care much about the science of space travel). Sometimes, they talk about the deflector in this context; other times, they talk about using it to do something else. For example, before the battle of Wolf 359 (or maybe after), they try to kill the borg cube with the modified deflector array. If they never showed it in action in old trek, it would have had to do, one assumes, with money, technology or time constraints of the time. One of the problems of space travel we don't yet know how to solve is deflecting things when travelling very fast, as even dust will puncture our spaceships otherwise.

Personally, I would have used torpedoes or disruptors. That is what I thought the Klingons were doing. It took a few rewatches before I noticed that the Ares deployed mines, and the Klingons were destroying the mines. I would expect that the drain on the shields would be more of a concern than the depletion of ammo, given how common it is to lose shields, compared to how rare it is to deplete munitions. The fan community attempting to keep track of Voyager's torpedo rations really highlights this. A captain would want to preserve shield integrity as long as possible. Although, a slow reaction time might have cost the Ares the distance it needed for safe detonation of torpedoes. I suppose it is prior to "The Motion Picture", so Commander Decker wouldn't be countermanding a phaser order, but that is getting nerd deep in the lore. I don't know that it has been established that the deflector dish in the 23rd century can move entire asteroids as "buu88553" suggests. Though, there are "deflector screens", which I understand to be a variant of shield technology. Some of the terms might not have been fully locked down early on. Artistically, having a shield style visual effect and calling it "the deflector" kind of fits with the production standards and aesthetics of the Original Series, if not necessarily canon proper. It seems to contribute to a more authentic "feel".
Star Trek fan since 1966. That was beautiful. I got to watch that again.
Thanks for sharing.
I love this scene! The music is great. I wonder if the captain considered swinging around to see if there were any survivors to rescue.

@@matthewcaughey8898 Maybe, but Starfleet is about ideals at all costs. Especially given the speech made in Axanar.
I understand why that Klingon hymn was added to this before. Because this shows that the glorious D7 WAS beatable in combat. A Federation crew with some knowledge of a D7 crew can take on that D7 with a solid chance of victory. Kharn must have hollered himself hoarse over this lose. Heads may have rolled. Or bounced.
Pretty frelling cool!

i'm an old table top rpg and war gamer, i noticed something interesting, those who have ever played starfleet battles need to watch the d7 closely when it rolls, on the bottom below the forward torpedo launcher are 3 nobs (sfb 3 phaser type 2's), on the upper main body there are 2 nobs on each side of the hanger bay (sfb 2 phaser type 3's), these are phaser points in the game, i found that interesting for the fact that those nobs are not seen on any models or blue prints, just wondered if the people at axanar knew about it

However, when I watch this and the other Axanar elements, it feels like it fits with the other canon series pre-STD. I guess your mileage varies, but it really feels like what the step between ENT and TOS should have been, not the terrible series we were delivered. To each their own, but my assumption is that classic Trekkers would fine this product more akin to the original four live action series.
