Strange New Worlds Intro with Odyssey-refit Enterprise-F (Star Trek Online)

- A Demorecord Machinima project that took a few months to complete. Not just because of the Demorecord footage and video editing required for the variety of scenes involved, but mainly the time spent scouting suitable in-game locations for each scene.

SNW Theme Metal Cover by @CaptainMeatshieldUK was heavily considered for this fanvid project but did not make it into the final cut. Nevertheless, I highly encourage everyone to check out the fanwork of a fellow STO player: • Strange New Worlds [St...
Behind-the-scenes commentary:
• Yes, there are by now several dozens of remakes/reinterpretations of the Strange New Worlds Intro sequence out there, and that’s before counting the very recent official Lower Decks version of it. Nevertheless, I really wanted to have my own go at it, and hopefully not many of them feature the Ent-F nor this mashup of the SNW Main Theme.
• Should already be obvious from the video, but this is specifically based on Season 1 of SNW's opening sequence. Season 2's opening had a number of scenes that I deemed too technically demanding for me to replicate within STO.
• My right brain has been entertaining the thought of remaking the SNW Intro Sequence within STO ever since I first saw it. The existence of the "Where No One Has Gone Before" speech by Captain Va'Kel Shon of the Enterprise-F and Odyssey ship textures remaster pushed my left brain to get real work done on it.
• Why did I go with the Yorktown-class instead of the original Odyssey-class? I just prefer the proportions of the Yorktown over the Odyssey, no other reason beyond that really. Even with the recent in-game model update to the Odyssey, and Season 3 of Picard.
• Having just said that, I don't actually own the Yorktown-class (nor the Legendary Verity-class) in the game. All footage was shot with the Lexington-class sporting Yorktown parts.
• All in-game locations used for each scene are mentioned in the video itself, except for the Vulcan System used for the very first scene. Earth Spacedock’s Drydocks were the initial candidate for that scene, but ended up being too well-lit, as weird as that sounds.

Wow! Amazing job! Thank you so much for doing all this! BRILLIANT!!!
Dave Rivas aka, Voice of Capt. Shon.
OMG, Dave Rivas himself! Thank you so much for stopping by, and happy you like it.
Captain.
And Subcommander Kaol. And Dr. Eric Cooper. And Colonel Hakeev. And Daimon Madran. And Commander Plardos.
@@kevlonk yeah this video was a good refresher of some of the characters I’ve voiced! 🖖🏽
I have played STO for literal years, since the beginning, and I cannot express my love for the game enough, I have maxed out my characters limit and all of them are level 65 (I did the math and some are at level 85) but I would pay literally anything to erase my memory of the game so I could play it again
Can we just appreciate what happens when fans come together to make something.
I appreciate your appreciation
The accuracy is so spot on, I am actually quite surprised you are able to replicate the smooth movement of the ship in the game; not to mention painstakingly search for the environments for each screen.
Thank you! There were definitely many behind-the-scenes reshoots and retakes to get each scene "just right".
@@DilaZirK worth it
As a Captain of a Legendary Command Dreadnought Cruiser, the Legendary variant of the T6 Odyssey class, seeing my all time favorite federation starship in such light brought a huge smile to my face. From USS Winter’s Touch, NX-97010 to all my sister ships out there, I’ll see you all along the stars and wherever Starfleet needs us.
Happy you liked it!
I was never a huge Odyssey-class guy, but seeing it in these kind of shots makes me appreciate how well designed it is
Happy to have put her in a good light.
It’s the Yorktown, not the odyssey
But it is still amazing
This guy should do a remaster with the new season 2 environments
Odyssey class York town re-fit
This makes me wish for a series featuring the Enterprise F.
Such a gorgeous and powerful design and so many stories that it could tell.
The canon Enterprise F served for over 12 years, that's a lot of time to tell stories and while it was going to be decommissioned due to a general failure of systems, it could be sent to the reserve fleet and kept for when the failure can be properly fixed.
I love the Odyssey model, it is simply gorgeous.
The fact that the F did not get its own series was a big motivating factor behind this fanvid.
Awesome! Now we need a mission where we travel near a ridiculously tiny gas "giant" and see the reflection of our ship in the ring system so we can make the voyager into with the... Gok'Tad Carrier :D
Oh I had other ideas for the Gok'Tad: czcams.com/video/nWVUHXaxQQs/video.html
Very impressive indeed. Much better than the actual Enterprise-F trailer, lol
Glad you think so!
"...that took a few months to complete" no doubt about that, incredible attention to detail.
Even if no one ended up watching this, I just had to complete it for me.
Really nicely done; the F really deserves more beauty shots, and I hope Shon becomes official canon on screen the way his ship has.
Thank you! And yes, this entire vid project is just one big personal-wish-fulfillment for me.
That was fantastic! It was clearly a labour of love and your rendition of our boi Jeffery Coombs was spot-on!
Thank you! Though if you are referring to the "Where No One Has Gone Before" speech at the start, that was voiced by Dave Rivas. (Just so the right people are credited)
Okay, that's hella impressive, that you managed to find all the systems that practically match SNW. VERY impressed.
Thanks! The in-game location scouting was the most time-consuming part of this whole project.
What a bloody big beautiful ship the "F" is. I could only imagine Captain Pike's reaction being given the keys to this girl.
The Odyssey's transition from STO to "Picard" was totally justified as it's design incorporates all the qualities a great Trek starship embodies.
Hope we get to see more of her in upcoming series or movies. Incredible job you've done sir!
Thank you! The fact that we will likely never see the "F" get its own series was a huge motivating factor behind this project.
Very nice work Dila. I see you pop around the community. You're a cool dude. Thanks for what you do.
Thank you! =D
WOW! I am blown away by this! Great job to everyone involved in this work. I can hardly believe how well the two look side by side.
Thank you kindly!
That was beautiful! Great job! The Odyssey Yorktown refit is my Enterprise!
My love for the Odyssey-line was a huge motivating factor for this fanvid.
@@DilaZirKnow that she is full blown canon, my favorite Canon Enterprise.
@@fallout3fanboy1 Wish she got her own show...
I love the Odyssey-class a lot!
I really want to see this intro done with the Enterprise-B!
Both interactions of this name should have had shows of their own 🥲.
@@DilaZirKsame, like imagine after the destruction the F survived and they kept it going and gave command of it to Seven and then we can follow it's journey then. Hopefully it'd have carpets
That was awesome, 11 out of 10! Fantastic job and being an Odyssey Captain in STO it pulled on my heart strings.
I had hoped that other Odyssey fans would like this!
That was, so freaking, cool. Amazing. Was grinning like a madman the whole time.
Happy to have been able to elicit such a reaction!
I don't know HOW this video doesn't have more views! It's a masterpiece and more, I couldn't stop smiling at how well and thoughtful you made this! This makes me want to get into STO video work and animation!
Happy you liked it! Frankly, I'm surprised it got as many views as it already has.
Amazing work on its own but as i love the Odyssey class it gets bonus points 👍😁🖖
My love for the Odyssey-line was a huge motivating factor for this fanvid.
Very well made! The camera movements are all very accurate.
Man, I've always loved the look of the Odyssey class. Never was able to buy it when I played STO, but it was amazing to see it appear in live-action in Picard. It's a beautiful ship.
She really is a beaut. But I'm biased.
Man, this is beautiful. I'm really moved by this since I love the Odyssey class and we only had it on screen in a series for a few seconds and only to be decommissioned. Such a waste of potential. Thank you for your hard work making this Masterpiece.
The fact that the Odyssey-F never got much time on-screen was a motivating factor for this fanvid. Thanks!
Amazing work! STO needs to get you to make their promos for them. :)
Thanks! Though at that point, it might become just "work" and would sap all the fun out of the activity.
'Work'? It's only work if you turn it into work. This...this is art immortalized.
Love it! Pretty awesome! It's been cool to see how the SNW intro has inspired so many versions!
Thank you!
Yeah, there are by now several dozens of remakes/reinterpretations of the Strange New Worlds Intro sequence out there, and that’s before counting the very recent official Lower Decks version of it.
Nevertheless, I really wanted to have my own go at it, and hopefully not many of them feature the Ent-F nor this mashup of the SNW Main Theme.
... words can not describe how amazingly awesome this is, even tho sadly we might never get an actual canon Enterprise F series, this is honestly the best thing i've ever seen... and now i wish to see all the other Series Ship like TOS Enterprise, TNG Enterprise, Voyager, Defiant, NX Enterprise, and Discovery
The fact that the Ent-F will never truly get its time to shine on screen formed part of my motivation to make this fanvid.
@@DilaZirK Nice
Uhhh... um... this left me speechless. This was absolutely fantastic! Well done!
Thank you!
This is amazing!
Said known Odyssey aficionado, Stu1701. 😁
Excellent! Now this would make a great Star Trek online fan film series, which means we need fan actors, sets, and some good stories ❤
Yup, got a ready-made intro sequence all ready to go.
Great job - love that you inserted where each location was in the game.
Thanks! I spent a lot of time scouting out those locations, so I thought I'd share them.
This is masterful. Well done! Always good to see the Odessey getting some attention.
Thank you! My love for the Odyssey line was a huge motivating factor for this vid.
This was fantastic! Just sad there wasn't a line like "and Jeffrey Combs as Dave Rivas" or something like that. 🤣
I had considered adding in the several roles Jeffrey Combs had in STO, but thought it'd be funnier to just have it all be Dave Rivas.
I've watched this probably 10 times and it gets better every time. Great job!
I'm glad you find my work worthy of multiple rewatches.
Wow, incredibly well done! Great job catching those camera angles! Super super impressive!!!
Thank you! Demorecord Tool was the means to get those camera angles, though there were still many many behind-the-scenes reshoots and retakes to get each scene "just right".
My only regret is that it took me this long to see this video. Fantastic work!
Thanks for watching!
This was so wonderfully, thoughtfully, and carefully made. The attention to detail in camera movements, lighting, location, and focal-length of each shot was so precisely made. Truly wonderful! Amazing work!
Thank you for noticing all those details!
@@DilaZirKOf course! Instant subscribe, and can't wait to see more! #LLAP 🖖
Love this! Thanks for your efforts and for sharing them!
After all the effort I put into it, I had to share it, regardless of how it might be received.
that is the most badass star trek fan art ever. fantastic!
I think there are more badass ones out there, but thank you all the same!
Well done, amazing work
Thanks ya!
This was glorious and i loved every moment of it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating. 🖖
🖖
quantum slipstream move at the end was sweet. great work
Thanks! Wanted something different since there was already a normal warp out at the start of the vid.
Kudos for your efforts! A top notch presentation! If only . . . . . . . She left us way too soon. We barely knew her.
Thank you! Her short on-screen time was a major motivating factor for this video project.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!!
Thank you!
Now that is an excellent piece of fan work!
Thank you!
Excellent work! You ought to be proud of what you’ve done here. We certainly are 😊
Thank you! I am indeed quite satisfied with the outcome of this vid project.
The Yorktown Variant with the Odyssey Materials and Windows, its beautiful
That she is.
This video is a work of art, fantastic job.
Thank you!
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. This is so well done, if I didn't know better, I'd be searching the heck out of Google, trying to find out when this show was on.
Thank you! Happy you liked it.
Literally speechless. This is incredible.
Happy to have been able to elicit such a reaction!
God! What a beautiful clip! Amazing!!!
Thanks!
This is actually spectacularly done. I'm really impressed.
Thanks!
That’s actually pretty freaking awesome!!! I wish I had the technical knowledge to do the same thing for my ship
Thank you! Definitely not something one "gets good at" overnight, but at the same time, Demorecord is not all that difficult compared to actual 3D animation tools like Blender.
I got my start by looking at tutorials from @ZeFilms and @Snipey47a. I'd encourage giving it a go yourself!
Wow. That was amazing!! I’m in awe.
Thanks!
100% needs to be the intro for STO!
Thank you for your effort and love put into these projects! Fans like you make it worth playing!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼
Thank you! I don't think Cryptic is allowed to make use of this fanvid, it'll be enough for me if they even notice it.
For the Fed, perhaps. For KDF we need a Version of this with the Bortasqu subbed in.
@@DilaZirKYou know what? Try and make a Bortasqu version. Also maybe the Romulan one too... I don't remember the name.
@@nsr-ints I would rather not. It's not so simple a matter as subbing out one ship model for another, and I would be just retreading the same grounds.
@@DilaZirK Hmm... True. You need to rework camera paths too innit?
This is so awesome! Hope you'll be able to continue creating more.
Thanks! It will likely be a long while before I find both the energy and inspiration for my next project.
Sick!
The F's a beauty
That she is.
I have no idea why this isn't the opening to actual Star Trek Online. It's just....AMAZING.
For legal reasons, probably. Glad you enjoyed it though!
@@DilaZirK I mean it was partly facetious. I know that it is for legal reasons, but I also know that it should be a no brainer for Cryptic to beg the paramount overlords for a proper game intro, especially when the incredible work has already been done for them.
@@OutlawLotusAt the very least, the intro scenes for the Fed, Rom, and KDF factions could use a bit of an upgrade, especially since the one for the KDF has been MIA for a while.
That was great! It really makes me better appreciate the Odyssey-class. It’s been far from my favorite, but that really brought out the best in it. 👏🖖
I know she's not everyone's favourite, but happy to put her in a good light.
Something is to be said about Anson Mount's delivery. It's just so smooth.
That's why he gets paid to do it.
Sir Stewart's Captain Picard is my Space Dad, but Anson Mount's Captain Pike is my Space Husbando.
Absolutely beautiful! You can really tell the effort and care that took to make this
I appreciate the remark!
This is absolutely phenomenal!
Thank you!
Absolutely fantabulous! 🤩
You even matched the angle of SB1.
Helps that the in-game Starbase model was not too different from the show model, sans the environment globes.
And thanks!
This is meticulously well executed. It's love!
♥
Yes, those are goosebumps on my arms watching this (my main ship is a Lexington, so I may be doing a *little* transposing in my head of my primary character on this 😉). Excellently done!
Thank you! I had hoped other Odyssey-family Captains would like this.
That was Awesome! SNW has, in my opinion, the best opening theme.
That it does.
"They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no *one* has gone before." - James T. Kirk
Until it gets cut short by the Enterprise-G.
WOW, I mean, WOW!
THIS, makes me want to download STO again!
SO impressive!
Thank you!
As a heads up, STO is about to celebrate its 14th anniversary next week with a special event.
I didn't even clue in it was from STO until the end!@@DilaZirK
This is brilliant. I spend most of the last week trying to work out Season 2 "Locations" and kept coming short with "Giant pillars" and Tower approach," due to their "low flying" shots.
Those specific scenes in Season 2's opening made it too technically demanding for me to replicate within STO.
And thanks!
this makes me so freaking teary eyed giving the same vibes as strange new worlds (unironically the best startrek production since voyager) and making the most beautiful ship ever designed by fans for the beta canon in startrek online to finally make it into alpha canon. even if she only got a few minutes of screen time in "startrek picard" the fact that she was retired by this point and already served for 12 - 15 years (depending on which canon you prefer) means that there is such a huge window of opportunity for her to end up in a series or movies, and i would be so ready for it.
to the vocal minority who think that this gorgeous ship is a quote: "bloated lumbering whale", let me remind you that the enterprise D was literally a comically massive floating bathtub love-boat hotel ship (no offense to galaxy class fans, i love this ship), and it doesnt help that the ship you think is superior to it (Enterprise-G / USS Titan / Constitution III class) looks like an upsized constitution kitbash that had the "busy-hands" syndrome all over its design. because nothing screams sleek, fast, and powerful than a ship with a round saucer, a chevron shaped impulse drive that cuts deeply into the hull, secondary impulse drives at the neck that dwarf the rest of the ship, and blocky af warp nacelles. its supposed to be larger than the galaxy, sovereign, and odyssey class, but it looks smaller than even the ambassador class starships.
you can be salty all you want about a ship that a fan made for a videogame that became part of beta canon, then became alpha canon due to its overwhelming popularity in startrek online, but the fact remains that a huge number of fans love this ship to bits and the number of people who purchased the odyssey class (UFP version & TE version) and yorktown refit and still captain it to this day (in the game) prove it.
if you want to advertise the constitution III class as your favorite ship in all of startrek then please be my guest, but do it with some dignity and respect at least.
for everyone else who can respect those who love the odyssey, i personally thank you from the bottom of my heart.
even if you may not like this ship, i appreciate that you can respect our love for it.
for anyone wondering who i seem to be talking about, its someone on youtube called
"looneyburgmusic", and hes been smearing every video i could find regarding this ship.
Happy that a fellow Odyssey fan liked my attempt at this intro re-creation!
But it's perfectly fair not to like the Odyssey line either, different strokes and all that.
Dude, that was AWESOME. We barely knew her.
The fact that the Ent-F will never truly get its time to shine on screen formed part of my motivation to make this fanvid.
Absolutely phenomenal!
Thanks!
WOW! This is amazing. I am so much into this
Thanks! Happy that people like it.
Now that is a work of Art.
Thanks!
Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!
If you ever do a "remaster" of it, consider adding the Lower Desk nacelle slug. I laughed SO HARD when they did it for SNW Those Old Scientist opening.
Sadly, STO does not have an in-game model of the nacelle slug.
@@DilaZirK True but one can hope they add it as a cosmetic vanity shield or something in the future.
Still, AWESOME job!!!!
@@mattmiracle964 True, similar to the Borg Vanity one. And thanks!
Now I’m itching to see this done with every Enterprise possible
Not so simple a task, of course.
@@DilaZirK By no means it would be easy
WOW..!!!!
That looks a lot like my refit for the Enterprise-D, I created waaaay back in the 90's. Well it has a lot of similarities to mine.
Went the wrong direction in a couple areas, but yeah.
I was surprised.....
You mean you had your own personal conceptual design for a D-refit?
And yet it reminds me how the Connie is the best ship design of all.
Which exact Connie?
This is just awesome. Great work
Thanks!
Amazing, so very well done.
Glad you like it!
AWESOME 😃🥲
Thanks
Absolutely amazing! Really outstanding job on the editing of the demo record file/files as that stuff is not easy at all. Love it. Still using my pre-sets too haha. :)
Thank you again for your Reshade preset, without which this vid will not look nearly as good as it does.
I'm pretty sure that this clearly demonstrates that SNW has...well...THE best opening in all of Star Trek.
Just enough of a callback to the classical stylings of TNG, and the campiness of TOS, with a better balance of the more pop-style of later iterations. And with a return to form of including the narration, all against a much more adventure-oriented backdrop of some the BEST beauty shots of of any of the shows.
You can do pretty much ANY of the shows in this style...and it'll be goddamned epic.
The last Star Trek intro that gave me a similar emotional reaction to SNW's upon first viewing was all the way back with Voyager.
That was awesome, it almost brings a tear to my eye and makes me want to jump on and play.
The last scene of SNW intro makes me a bit irked because it's impossible. Moons do not have moons that big of their own, the tidal forces make those orbits unstable. A++ to you for pulling this off and presenting it AND for posting the in game locations as well!
Happy to have been able to elicit such an emotional response!
Planetary body and distance scales in all sci-fi have always been completely borked. That said, I think it's more a trick of perspective in the case of the final shot of the SNW intro. None of them are actually that big, it's just that the ship is relatively close to the moon while likely being quite small for a moon, and the planet is f-ing huge, but still reasonably far away.
But yes, it always bugs me, as well. Among other things.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 e.g. the impossibly tiny planet in the Voyager intro.
THIS IS JUST SO FKING BRILLIANT
Thank you!
That's seriously impressive.
Thank you!
Well done. This makes me very happy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Unbelievable. Well played sir!
Thanks!
"she may look different, but she's got the right name, you treat her like a lady and she'll always bring you home"

This comment will be useful for SEO purposes for this vid. XD
This is top tier. Good work
Thank you!
With special guest Dave Rivas as The Enterprise.
Epic and Stunning! Love it!
=D
Holy smokes that was amazing editing. Ah. The series that might have been... 🖖
The series the might have been, indeed...
Beautiful job. Impressive how you put the cameras for each scene. 😮
I will never have the patience to do that until the perfection
The F, a pure beauty. Happy that STO will continue for now with this ship because we will never have a serie with this ship and Sto give us that. (Our ship do a large part of the job but 🤫)
I wanted to do that for some ships that could be a Enterprise-G but with Xbox the best idea is to forget sometimes and Picard season 3 destroy that 😢
Thank you! I would not call what I have made here perfection, there were a number of scenes I wished I could have remade more faithful to the original, but is currently beyond my capabilities too.
And personally, despite not being canon and is filled with non-stop conflicts, I prefer STO's take on a post-Nemesis storyline than what we got with Picard.
OH THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Thanks!
Stunning
😁
Damn dude.....that was fantastic
Thank you!
Wonderfully creative!
Thank you!
That would be a nice vanity item for STO, the ability to insert your character's ship into a chosen Trek opening sequence
Would be nice, but also ridiculously complex due to the huge variety of ship sizes and shapes. The camera work would need to be manually adjusted for each individual ship to get the super close-up shots right.
@@DilaZirKJust imagine trying to do it with the Enterprise-J.
@@goldenknight578 The entire intro sequence will just be its saucer blocking the screen.
Nicely done, 2 thumbs up on that one!
👍
Welp, I got chills. 10/10
Nah, it's 5/7 at best.
