The Underscore Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Has anyone seen these so-called "fan-made trailers" for Star Trek XI on YouTube? If you haven't, here's the gist of it. Someone, a few months ago, took the teaser for Star Trek VI, where the Enterprise-A passes by the camera, and we see it from the bottom (which, itself is a shot taken from Star Trek: The Motion Picture). Superimposed of the Enterprise is a montage of shots from the Original Series, and the first five films. That's the Paramount teaser. This someone took that part of it, ripped out the audio track, tossing in an Immediate Music remix of "Serenata" (which sounds good standalone). The second half of the fan trailer consists of random, meaningless shots from the ten films. So while people are praising their editing techniques, only a few have pointed out the plagiarism. Copyright violations aside; the trailers are not fit to show. It's like advertising Star Trek: Insurrection by tossing "Requiem" onto the tv teaser for "Encounter at Farpoint". It's sacrilege. Leave the trailers to the pros. Just because you have Windows Movie Maker doesn't mean you should use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 If you get that worked up, you probably shouldn't look too hard for all the other stuff that is ham fistedly edited together... you may cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Underscore Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Oh, I've seen it. The damage is done. And I cried, imagining how many seals had to be clubbed to create them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
