- Data must correct the timeline before the Federation is lost and the Borg take over. This story features The Guardian of Forever that was originally introduced in Season one of Star Trek, "City on the Edge of Forever" and will surely be a favorite watch for time-travel buffs. This film crosses many Star Trek franchises including the original series, the Next Generation and Voyager. The story was originally written by Camren T. Burton for a proposed Star Trek television pilot series starring John Savage as captain Rudy Ransom, who appeared in the Star Trek Voyager episode, "Equinox". This new series was to also include Gary Lockwood from the original Star Trek second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The pilot failed but the shelved-footage caught the attention of Glen L. Wolfe who acquired the rights and re-wrote the story that is featured in this final production. For those Star Trek fans who love hidden Easter Eggs, play close attention and you'll discover them throughout the film. Including some screen time from one animated Star Trek character.
I'm an old OLD school Star Trek fan.
I enjoyed this, well done!
I'm sorry more people have not seen it.
Thank you for your efforts
Truly a shame this does not have 2 million views or more.
The story is awesome AND obviously passion for Trek put into this project.
I been a fan almost 50 yrs now. I know good Trek when I see it.
Well done. Thank you
That M’Ress outfit is FREAKING AWESOME!!! 😂🤩🤓
Holy -- the woman playing Captain Janeway? Her voice is so character accurate!!
Hmm. Not quite Kate Mulgrew. Her voice has a purr in it. But this actress is close.
Let's give credit where it's due. This has some of the best lighting in a fan made film.
Oh wow! You got John Savage?! Nice!
Indeed!
Footage from the cancelled Star Trek Equinox project
I do love how janeway is talking to Picard from voyager with the Enterprise D decor behind her and Picard is obviously in janeway's ready room
The insect reminded me of the alien species from TOS "Catspaw" It could just be quietly observing all of this, plotting it's next move. : )
'..plotting its..'
A nod to the Time Travel Story, ‘The Butterfly Effect?’
pinky and the brain :)
@@scottblanke820 🦋 also a reference to, "Up the Long Ladder."
Data's history brief to Picard about the _SS Mariposa_ . Spanish for butterfly. 🦋
RIGHT?!
BEST Spock approximation ever in any mainstream spin-off or fan product! Your casting director did amazing job finding someone with physiognomy so similar to Nimoy. --- OR --- is that Nimoy's son?? Should I check the credits before I hit send? Aw, damn the torpedoes!!
Well, we now know what a live action Catian looks like.
There are two in Star Trek 4 at the court martial
Fascinating story with The Guardian! Well done. :)
Well done, really liked this, I'm a fan from TOS being on TV. loved the butterfly reference at the end, Ray Bradbury would be proud, what an effect .
I loved this film. Good story and great characters.
Nice seeing Capt. Ransom again & seeing what he could have done when not beeing stoped by the Voyager (this I asked my self) ...
for the resurces available , it is very nice ...
Brilliant actress playing Janeway. Would love to see more of her 👏🏻
GREAT STAR TREK STORY....VERY C👀L 🖖Love Temporal Episodes with The GUARDIAN....NICE JOB 👍👍🖖
I'm amazed they got the original actor who played Captain Ransom.
Great story idea! Interesting what kind of mess stopping the Voyager from going into the Badlands might cause. And bonus points for M'Ress 😍
One grievance I have however is Picard in his First Contact uniform on board the Enterprise D. Shouldn't he still have TNG or at most VOY uniforms depending on the closeness to the events of Generations? 🤔
Good story , good concept . Good world building and better-than-most Green Screening . Surprisingly decent costuming .
I _personally_ particularly liked the in-story timeline vignetting , stitching together different sets , locations and in-Trek locales and eras , seamlessly into the constructed story concept and execution . Nicely done !
Get an acting instructor to teach characterizations to your on-camera talent , and someone familiar with directing to teach as ASSISTANT to your CREDITED Director and film crews .
Your Editor did a good job keeping his cuts and transitions tight enough to sustain the flow ,
and good use of music to match the tenor and intent of each scene .
Its _clear_ you were after better than what's coming to be known as "dress-up Trek" , and _I_ think you did pretty well 👍.
Do enough takes and review the best results with your actors so they can - with the help of the acting and coaches - smooth out their deliveries in their performances . Mostly they did surprisingly well for amateur talent , and proved that with a love for Trek a good job CAN give the result of a good effort , even _if_ untrained !
Choose only the BEST takes for final use , and don't be afraid to re-shoot , and don't be afraid of instruction and enough re-takes to get something _you_ as "Talent" and crew can end up being far more proud of .
Seriously -
This has real potential , _if_ you plan on going anywhere with this .
There are even some great stories that could come out of _THIS_ one !
Folks -
_We_ are in real need of some GOOD Star Trek and sustaining _this_ part of the Modern Cultural Mythos *_by_* *US* -
*the True-Trek WORLD*
_outside_ the "Universe" of know-nothing stuffed shirts FAMOUS for HATING Star Trek ,
_your_ efforts are _absolutely_ worth honing .
Take a look at and EVALUATE some of the best Fan-Trek on Y-T, and don't be afraid of working hard for a top notch result . It might take longer , but the results would be worth it , and would pair more seamlessly with post-production work and final presentation PRODUCT .
Some notable references _might_ include some of the better of Avalon ,
Enemy Star Fleet , Renegades and Of Gods and Men - EXCELLENT Feature-Length presentations - as was Prelude to Axanar , and there are even a couple of really decent TNG productions here on Y-T , but the best example by _far_ of episodic Trek and some of the BEST of Trek *anywhere* - even in *_Prime_*_ Canon_ in terms of execution , would be Vic Mignona's
*"Star Trek Continues"* .
WORTH a _serious_ look .
There they made a DETAILED study of characterization _and_ "look and feel" .
You guys did surprisingly well , or I wouldn't have been interested in commenting ,
so guys - please -
if you want to actually produce some GOOD Trek
(this _was_ actually _really_ decent ) and give your Actors , Crew and Staff recurring opportunities to construct something of a small Trek legacy of their own , put a little work into raising the game ,
building on what you've done here .
The "memory Alpha" concept is a great jumping - _off_ place 👍.
Sincerely -
All the _best_ -
- C .
Interesting mix of TOS style with the TNG era.
And we hope we got it right. Thanks.
A lot of fun to watch. I really enjoyed it and appreciated the effort that went into it, just one question though. Why was Picard doing a bad Sean Connery impression? 🤣🤣🤣
We do our best with the talented pool of people helping us. Thanks for the positive response to our fan film.
PROBABLY because of the low budget.
@@onetake7 If you're interested, I DO do a passable James Doohan!
I was late to the Watch Party over to Mac's World Entertainment this evening. Having got caught up in the story last week, I had to come and watch what I missed. Great job all around! 🖖🖖
Great work team! A good storyline with good acting. The BORG look great! As well the 2 actors playing Janeway and Spock nailed it!
Great storyline very well done.
The was an excellent fan film. It possessed the real flavor of Star Trek. Well done
Thanks and keep watching. We have 3 more scheduled for 2020.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! As super as I knew it would be, great job all, so glad to see John Savage, would have loved to see all the footage we fans didn't see but for in the trailers they shared during there crowd funding. Is there a chance you might release or give a private viewing of the footage they hadn't shared if available? I've been a John Savage fan almost as long as a Star Trek Fan, The Deer Hunter 1978 - Twin Peaks 2017, thank you all for super performances and behind the camera's, thumbs up all
Sadly Rick, we scoured every source we had to uncover all remaining footage and what is seen here in The Equinox Effect is all there is. If any existing footage is out there and turns up, I'm sure we will look at it. Thanks for watching and supporting us.
@@thefederationfiles8938 Thank you all so much for all your work, great stuff
I guess I'm in the minority but I love anything in the Voyager timeline, I wish we'd get a Trek show that takes place AFTER Voyager.
the captain sounds like general ackbar!
A very good episode and that's time travel and alternate quantum realitys for you almost unpredictable.
That was a lot of fun. Thank you.
More to come
nice work!
Love the slow motion
Good work, took me right back to Tos era
The best comment we could receive. Thank you so much.
@@thefederationfiles8938 Most welcome, i am about to Enjoy it again due to your comment
Thanks 😊
Wow great episode!!
So what happens with the officer from the future Rudy ransom looking forward to the next episode.
Like to see that guy play a lot more he’s really good acting skills I know him from somewhere I just can’t process it anyway thanks a lot it was a great Episode
Wow you guys got John Savage I hope that you finish that episode where he comes from the future I mean even the data guide is excellent Spock is really genuine everybody’s just great please continue Big shout out to the music people are really doing a great job with the sound effects
This Is Awesome Episode Thumbs Up
Dammit Flash you messed up the timeline....nvm it wasn't you this time 😂
I hope someone got the reference lol
A very good 25 minutes 22 seconds 35 microseconds 12 nanoseconds.
Very nice.
Love this ❤
good work. I suggest creating mostly new characters/ships instead of trying to emulate fan favourites.
Very enjoyable well written and acted by one and all as you folks should be very proud of the effort you put in here well done
Thanks for watching. These are labors of love and we make them primarily for ourselves and share them with the hopes everyone else will love them as well.
Outstanding 🙂🖖
We so appreciate your view and comments. Thanks for watching.
Feels like a musical in some points. The imitation of Picar is actually super hilarious! Is that how Americans imitate the British accent?
I do not think the focus was on imitating the accent as much as that person was trying to imitate Captain Picard...
I am from the US and I hardly heard a British accent at all... what I was noticing was that person imitating Patrick Stewart.. (and not very well either)..
But to answer your question.. no... it is not..
I really don't know why but all of these fan based shows have only recently shown up on my searches and I have been entering 'Star Trek' quite often with hardly any result. Could this be a fault or deliberate plot by YT to keep the views down?
I cannot believe that these shows have not gone viral with millions of views.
Thank you so much for making this. 1000 times better than Alex Kurtzman's ST:D! Excellent story!
Could you please tell me: how did you guys overcome Alex Kurtzman's "15 minute ban" (limit) on Star Trek Fan Films?
you're kidding right????????????????????/
I really enjoyed this! Thank you!
I'm late to the party, but I think it's a brilliant story thanks
You missed me again that line was priceless.😉😉😉😉
The Data actor reminds me of David Lynch's FBI character on Twin Peaks.
Gordon Cole.
Lol, gotta love the dck first Data! He follows his little head, that's why he's so smart. No. What?
Well, that was interesting. Thanks!
Glad to see these made again!
interestiing video
LOL. The guy who plays Spock, ACTUALLY LOOKS like Spock! Bravo. McCoy, not so bad. The guy who plays Data or the Klingons - NOT so much. Sulu = Interesting. This didn't suck! Good job everyone.
My only issue is that data would not have made those mistakes.
Very surprised that John Savage. Loved R2D2
The biggest problem with the Guardian of Forever... the possibility that it could be misused... with drastic consequences.
For us as filmmakers and wanting to be true to the original series, our main concern is not to veer too far away from the original feel and canon of the episode, "City on the Edge of Forever" never making it more or less than what it is.
@@onetake7 Well, good job.
@@onetake7 For my own writing projects, and my future universe, I've always thought that time travel should be a rare, probably accidental happening. If it becomes too accessible, the chance to abuse it would be hard to resist.(and the readers/audiences are likely to ask WHY it wasn't used to correct some cataclysmic event.)
i love this e.p good job everyone
excellent way to wait on "Friends and Foes" One of my favs of yours .
Man, fan films are the shiznit!
Minor gripe... but they say the Enterprise hasn't been targetted, but we see a beam on the ship...
Fascinating 🤔✨👍
lol!!!! janeway ! lol !! that wig omg . I'm sorry . lol !!
Ikr?
Well done. Bravo.
Finally a new Voyager!!
data needs a chiropractor
Not bad, good work on this
Meow is so confused...
great story line and understandable effects given the budget, but you could have done MUCH better with Janeway's wig lol
Aaaahhh yes. If we just had an unlimited budget. Thanks for watching.
But she nailed the voice 👍👍
Her wig was so hilarious it deserves it's own meme. Her Janeway voice was very good though!
Where is this shelved footage. Is that footage here on your video. Can we see this raw footage. Where is it? I never knew this was a proposed pilot.
okay so I know Equinox happens in 2375,at the same time the Enterprise E is dealing with the Sona while the Dominion war is happening. the other two episodes I don't know when they take place,City on the Edge of Forever and Where no man has gone Before. I'm going to guess that this fan film starts in 2371. and as far as I'm aware the Borg weren't suppose to be encountered until 2365.
As with many time travel episodes, the butterfly effect of altering the past corrupts the time line, thus variations in history occur, which is the point of this film. Carson trying to save her sister , a seemingly small alteration, caused not only the future to change, but even rippled backward in time to effect the past as well.
That was really cool, I like seeing all the different characters together. Just out of curiosity, are y'all located near OKC? I'm only asking b/c I used to be friends with the guys who bought the original ST set. They had purchased it and then went on to restore it so that they could use it for fan films and your set looked like the one they restored.
Those sets were rescued when the guys at OKC were evicted from the warehouse where the sets were stored and we're unable to secure a permanent home for them so we acquired them and have been making TOS fan films since. They are now located permanently in Arkansas.
Oh that's right, I'd completely forgotten about that. Thank goodness that y'all were there and were able to save those sets, I know how hard they all worked on them. Anyway, as I said I enjoyed your film and will have to check out a few more. :)
This is outstanding, with a story quality comparable to the best of traditional Star Trek, and much better than Discovery etc.
Thought this would of been a TOS USS Equinox that Captain Ransom was transported to and not the Enterprise anyway looks good
Your thought was right for the original script but with the original project not completed, changes were made to make the story more complete.
Thought this would have...
Paramount early on established they would ONLY accept in house projects and Not accept fan films into their orbit in order to further discourage them. To NO avail as I have seen MANY MANY fan films squeezing into the half hour the courts allowed. Carmen- you NEVER stood a chance....unitl now as I've read paramount is merging with another company involved with Kelvin timeline (Chris Pine et al). Hopefully this NEW company will loosen the rope around fan films and allow them to fully bloom. Wishful thinking but I did that on a star-Orion =cuz of all those beautiful women.
Was that female lion the wife of the cowardly lion?
Hello. Have you thought about submitting this idea to the CBS Network?
The solution for this episode & the original S.T. music playing in a S.T.N.G. time frame is making my temporal temporal lobe ache a bit..
We tried to seamlessly weave in TNG scenes with TNG themed scores. Same with scenes when we were in the TOS era scenes. Thanks for watching.
I wonder if people from the past could come through to their world, or if it could show the future.
The Guardian is only able to move in one direction; from past to present at a set speed as described in the Star Trek episode from The Original Series, "The City on the Edge of Forever"
My only complaint besides semi stale acting, which is really to be expected from these sorts of fan films, is that you mention the temporal time directive, which didn't exist until after kirk's original series era. Hence why their antics in time travel never end up referencing it.
so I guess by circa 2371 the Enterprise D still lives (despite it's destruction in Generations in 2370).
Actually Generations does take place in 2371
Can i rent the bridge to do my own Trek storyline? No seriously.
13:52. A furry infiltrates the star ship.
Is that a furry on the Star Trek bridge, lol.
I liked this overall however I have some comments. For the life of me when acting do not sound robotic as if you were reading from a book. The script was all over the place. I feel like this video could been at a million views. I like the social effects but I think it could been a lot more sharper.
Can people act without sounding like they are trying to read?
One of the more difficult things to do I agree but these fledgling actors put their best efforts forward. We appreciate these efforts and their extreme dedication to this project.
I think the actors did very well for not being pros. People don't realize if you bring in a trained actor, while they would be willing to volunteer to get more exposure, they would take over the project to improve quality ( for example they would have a friend help who does makeup, wigs, etc...) but then the producers lose control, and it's not their sole project anymore.
Data needs a cut and stylist!
How did you get Butch Patrick(Eddie Munster) to play Data????
watching this at 9.6 speed my onely criticism is that this looks like this was made on a budget of less than a million dallors. I do not know ok greaat fan film just joking great job!
Not even close to a million. What a great compliment. Slow down and watch this in real time. I think you would experience the story in a much better frame of mind.
I know part 1 is here and now what about part 2 ?
This is a combined part 1 & part 2 episode. The description does say part 1 & 2
They are some of the sexiest Klingons I have seen.
PS--if those series seem too much for you, here's an example of a fan film done right: czcams.com/video/Pq5Iu0reaD0/video.html
Thanks Danny, Avalon Universe is also shot on these sets, I worked on and had a role in the film you recommended.
Absolutely njoyd it:
LUV TimeTravel filmz!

Which Voyager A, B,c or D
to quote scotty no bloody A B C D or E. This voyager in this fan film is obviously the original one.
Waw. What a great story. Kpt. Ransome is back and live action M'Res? Twice waw. First percet cgi Arex in ST phase II and now, sexy cat, literally. :-) And now II. , both of them, please. ;-) Too bad that ST fan productions can't make at least 45min. movies. In this case would be awesome have 60min.or so motion picture. Sigh.
Check out our upcoming episode, "Doppelganger". Its a longer version we hope you'll enjoy. Premiering this Friday, July 9th at 7:00pm
Oh no not data from wish
that was great, but just a little anticlimactic.
I thought it was prohibited to use a former trek actor? wasn't that one of the stipulations?
Yes, that is one of the rules. Shhh!
....snitches get stitches.....
Interesting and decent storyline however a bit all over the place and the sets and actors are mediocre at best, still better than anything cbs has come up with in a long time.
