(7) Steam Trek

7  Comedy/Parody.  Star Trek imagined as if it were done in the early days of silent motion pictures.  Excellent.  Reminds one of the first 'Trip to the Moon' video in which men in top hats were shot out of a cannon and hit the moon... and the man in the moon winched.

A review:

Fan Film Friday: Steam Trek: ‘The Moving Picture’

Fan Film Saturday at Con News : http://con-news.com/?p=3406

This same group produced the missing Star Trek: The Endeavour Missions: First Command, which does not appear to be on the web. The group is English, and the poster, Dennis Sisterson lives in Alnwick, Northumberland.

Compare:
Steam Trek: The Moving Picture with this real silent film from 1902,  A Trip To The Moon(5:53) (with commentary)
