Star Trek Axanar

[SciFiFan]

Very well done indeed as always.

 

[Terra_Inc]

Oh man, that's awesome!

Great work KJC and Jetfreak, when is the D6 coming?

There is no pleasing some people

There is no pleasing some people

Not when I have Klingon blood flowing through my veins. I was thinking of having the D6 in YY, I just haven't done a model for it yet.

"It was like a Klingon maneuver"

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

I cannot wait to do some interpretive scenes with that ship.

Until Axanar actually comes out and renders my scenes all moot

 

[kjc733]

Well she's up for download now. Have at it

An actual Axanar update today in my emails.

Today we start production on Axanar with a one day shoot that will test our crew, our techniques, our cameras, our VFX, and just about everything else! It is the first shoot ever at Ares Studios, which YOU helped make a reality by donating to our Kickstarter last year.

The scene we are shooting will be released to you our donors first, just before we make it part of our next Kickstarter on July 8th. We promise you will love it. The animatics for this scene are fantastic!

Please follow our website for three big updates at http://www.startrekaxanar.com/.

It looks to have been a scene on Vulcan, featuring Soval and a new Vulcan female character. They'll be using it as part of the new Kickstarter launch next month. Can't wait!

 

[Zelph]

The new crowdfunding launch is tomorrow! Not on Kickstarter though, Alec Peters decided to migrate Axanar over to Indiegogo, which will save them tens of thousands (literally) in fees that Amazon and Kickstarter charge.

Incidentally, the production team has always been fairly dilligent about transparency with spending. However, some trolls have been slamming them lately, making a number of false accusations etc. (I don't know the specifics because I refuse to trudge through the Mos Eisley that is Reddit). Alec and the Anaxar team have released an accounting of the budget spending so far - which they were already planning to do - if any are interested. Worth looking over for the curious: http://www.startrekaxanar.com/axanar-annual-report/

 

[Majestic]

Thanks for keeping us up to date Zelph.

 

[kjc733]

41 minutes in and $35,480 raised (14% of $250k target) with 33 days to go...

 

[Zelph]

And after about seven hours, they've broken $100,000!

 

[kjc733]

23 hours in and they're at $125,050 - over half way there!!!

 

[kjc733]

5 days in, 29 to go, $219,933 out of $250,000 raised.

 

[kjc733]

8 days in, $236,512 - slowing down a bit but to be expected. Still plenty of time left...

 

[Majestic]

They are doing exceptionally well. Goes to show Trek fans want some quality trek still in the prime universe.

 

[Hellkite]

That is most absolutely true Maj.

Now only if Paramount and CBS would take note and Follow their lead.

 

[Majestic]

At least have a prime universe series and keep the AR Trek as the movies. I would be fine with that and they would then be catering to all Trek fan groups.

 

[Hellkite]

Lets hope that something like that comes to past and hopeful by next year with 50th anniversary and all.

 

[Majestic]

There has been rumours of series coming back officially, but it's all just rumours.

 

[Hellkite]

Like I said we can only hope Paramount and CBS would take note and act on it

 

[CABAL]

There has been rumours of series coming back officially, but it's all just rumours.

A Klingon-centric show could be really awesome with a Star Trek meets Game of Thrones vibe. It would probably be really difficult to sell a show where most of the cast had to wear prosthetic makeup, though.

 

[kjc733]

There are always rumours of a new series, sadly they never amount to anything.
But on a lighter note...

10 days in, 23 to go, $255,745 raised, so the target has been met

 

[kjc733]

13 days in, 21 to go, $269,950 raised (108%).
And for those who haven't seen it, the first scene from Axanar has been publicly released. More ships...

 

[Majestic]

That is awesome. I am thinking of donating so I get can the production on bluray.

 

[Cborg1700]

This is going to be good once it is released, I'm glad they were able to get such great actors for this film.

I always found you can have great actors but if the story is not there they are wasted case in point In to darkness. With that said I think this is not the case with this film.

 

[kjc733]

16 days in, 17 days to go, $300,215 raised (120%)... and I suspect we may see a bit of a jump.
