No, cocksucker, you posted NOTHING about the animation other than your whining that the movie was made solely to make fun of RSA. Interesting to see you weasel out of what you actually fucking posted here on this message board where you're not protected by sb.com "let's be friends" rules.

Weasel out of what i said? It's still there for all to see and i'm not taking it back. That's the way your animation came across to me and my opinion is as i wrote it. The inceccant whining on your part isn't going to change it either. Just accept it.

And if you think some form of "let's be friends" rule is supposed to make a difference in my opinion. Wrong. Though i do think it's a tad funny you decided to jump to this board to start complaning about it.

Right, stupid fucking whinings that had nothing to do with the video and everything to do with you complaining it was made solely to bash RSA. Keep trying to weasel out of it, prick.

I asked if anyone knew you, twat. You came off as an RSA asslicker to me. That's how I took your post. And now of course, you're denying it.

The only one whining here is you. I wrote a small post and you launch off on a tirade about how my opinion is wrong and faulty. I don't care enough about your animation to whine about it. What i did was offer you my opinion. If you don't like it. Well boohoo, i don't care. Get over it.

Deny i'm an RSA asslicker? Yes. It's kinda hard being that since i don't even know the guy. But if that's your opinion of me then go right ahead. It's not like care what you think of me personally.

Well, some others have already addressed the technical issues with sound, animation, and the limited number of gestures the characters seem to be able to make, so...

Are you going for pure comedy, now? I hadn't gotten that impression from Part I, and the totally comical portrayal of Captain Anderson was unexpected. I was expecting someone with a thin veneer of professionallism laid over a deep core of incompetence (i.e., all style, no substance). The whole "Captain Jack" impression, therefore, didn't sit to well with me.

I did like the whole "test of strength" scenario, though. That was just the epitome of TNG.

I found part 2 to have significant merit just from the clash of cultures between the UFP and Trektards. Namely, the way in which, Capt. RSA arrives and does precisely as the more rabid vs Trekkies would like their heroes to behave, to the horror and dismay of the 'realistic' Federation captains.

I'll try to remedy those as we progress. On other boards, some have said the background bridge sound fx were too loud. Also, "Captain Kraft" was using a headset to record her lines. I boosted them to the breaking point with Audacity, but I'm going to try to play with them a little more for the other parts.

Oh yeah, the flick was conceived as pure comedy from the start. I can't imagine a "serious" one to be much different than the teaser trailer I put out!

I was expecting someone with a thin veneer of professionallism laid over a deep core of incompetence (i.e., all style, no substance). The whole "Captain Jack" impression, therefore, didn't sit to well with me.
I was set to do the Captain Anderson voice, but instead recruited Andiana and his impression. We needed one hothead Federation captain for the story, and he eventually evolved into RSA!

And also, Andiana was one of the very few people to actually come through with the VO work after they told me they wanted to do a voice for this movie. Captain Kraft, for instance, was "recast" about 4 different times over the past few months even before part 1 came out, because people didn't follow through.
I did like the whole "test of strength" scenario, though. That was just the epitome of TNG.
When I first read it, I though Phil was smoking something that was tainted when he wrote it. But I grew to like it!

Yeah, that worked out quite well! Trekkies should be rooting for Captains Kraft and Jorg by the end of this thing!

But those that like the Imperials will have something to root for as well! :twisted:

I liked it, and really it fits the TNG mold of at first it looks serious but then the viewer is befuddled by the complete what the fuck is the captian on.

The second part is worth the wait and I hope more will come when you have the time.

I love how it was Admiral Janeway who gave Scooter his marching orders. She was the only one stupid enough to give the moron command of a Sovereign class in the first place.

Who is Scooter's foil going to be? Some Imperial? I am hoping he gets owned by a Fed at the end, one who hates Scooter's guts. Kraft and Jorg don't seem like they'd fit exactly. A Fed with orders from Admiral Nechayev :twisted:.

As for the story, even if RSA wasn't in it, it would demand some stupid Federation captain, so might as well pick the best known one.

I hate Captain Anderson already. I'm not much of a fan of the underdog getting its ass kicked, but Scooter deserves to lose, all the while ranting about how he must school the ISD about the superior Treknology.

In the interest of karma, however, I'd like to see the other two saps... er, the captains of the other two ships be able to placate the Imperial captain without too much damage.

I hate to be Mr. Negative, but after the cool serious first part, all this "LOL RSA IS STUPID CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW YO MAMA" turned me off completely.

The humor isn't going to be elevated much higher than that, I'm afraid.

Number One looks like something appropriated from MST3K.

Whenever I looked at Anderson, I started thinking of Lord Farquaad.

Very good work.

Thanks. I'm working on the extra costumes and sets for part 3 now.
