Act I now online!
Jul 28
Act I of my “Doomsday Machine” project is now online!
The Enterprise Approaches the Constellation
You can view the Teaser and Act I as one continuous sixteen minute clip by downloading the Windows Media Video (WMV) file from the following link:
Star Trek: The Doomsday Machine (Compressed ZIP file, 324,665,282 bytes)
Decompress the zip file and watch the movie on your local workstation–easy peasy!
I tried uploading Act I to Vimeo but their encoding process badly mangled the sound synchronization, so for now this is the only way to view Act I, I’m afraid. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this straightened out sometime this coming weekend.
(I’m terribly sorry, but I have (temporarily, I hope) removed all “Doomsday Machine” videos from my website… here’s why.)
My goal for this project has been to get to the finish line before the Blu-Ray/DVD release of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek, and now I have a firm date: November 17, 2009.
