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.This posting is labeled, "Complete": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCUVT4bi4dU (11:42)(posted Feb. 28, 2011)

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.

the HD version is definitely different. but it isn't noticable in the beginning. start watching at 1:20 when you see people acting. the image is sharper and it also removes the light-flicker from the previous version. not sure if the latter is an actual "improvement"
ReplyDeleteand i have to agree, it is really well done!
