We Have a Fan Page

Facebook is killing off all the group pages, so we've started a fan page for the project. If you like it, click this button.

TrekFM Podcast

Dave, Jose, and I were guests on TrekFM's Ready Room podcast this past week. The episode was just posted today and can be found here. Or you can grab a much fancier version with chapter breaks and embedded links right here on iTunes. We talk a little bit about the fate of the project and the work that went into making it. Listen to it. Now.

Some Lucasarts-style sprite art of the main crew. Captain Chase and the Fate of Atlantis, anyone?

Yet Another Welcome Page

We have had a nice influx of new visitors thanks to a very cool piece over on Blastr that named us one of their "10 Awesome Unmade Star Trek Projects." We are in some very fine company alongside the likes of Bryan Singer, J. Michael Stracynski, and a sitcom Jonathan Frakes came up with after half a bottle of scotch called "The Rikers in Space." I thought it'd be good do do yet another front page that makes it a little easier to figure out where to go. So here that is.

The original pitch packet can be downloaded here, and will give you an idea of exactly how the project was pitched to CBS and Startrek.com. This site goes into a lot more detail about both the story and the work that went into it, and all that can be found by using that menu over there on the left.

The full script for the pilot episode is available right here. Keep in mind the episode was intended to air as a series of five shorts, so the structure is a little different. But still incredibly awesome.

A very talented artist named Mei-Yi Chun graciously lent his talents to the project to draw up full storyboards for the entire pilot, so if you'd rather check out the script with some visuals, there's like a bajilliion storyboards up in the gallery. I am working on a nice PDF that contains the boards alongside the script, but that's a lot of cutting and pasting and I don't know when it'll be done. So for now you're going to have to click. 

We have promised new scripts, and fully intend to deliver on that promise as soon as we have the time. Unfortunately at this point, Final Frontier is officially a passion project, and passion projects don't pay the rent. We're happy to answer any questions or respond to your criticisms of our spatula-shaped Enterprise in the comments section below. Thanks for visiting!

Update

Hello! We're back for a quick update. The script is taking a bit longer than expected. Like quite a bit longer, actually. The first four pages are smashing, though. The rest is mostly blank. A couple fleeting verbs here and there. So let's just say the E.T.A. on that one is difficult to calculate.

However, I' ve posted some images of a new Enterprise model I've been working on here and there for the past few months. It's a much better idea of the direction we were heading with the design, with more detail and shape. Still not final by any means, but something to look at. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Images in the Gallery, where you can also check out all our awesome storyboards if you haven't seen them yet. Or you can click on this to go right to the ship:

I had a small version of this model 3D printed in plastic. I'll post a few pictures if I can find a decent way to photograph it.
