Quantum Star Trek Wars

    Ok guys, you may remember my failed Irish Star Trek fan movie idea that never got off the ground. Well I have a new request of you guys along the same lines. This time I'm planning on making a short movie (5-10 mins) as a crossover between Quantum Leap, Star Trek and Star Wars, which will appear on my website, www.stevetrek.com

    The basic story I have worked out is that Q (not THE Q but A Q) appears to commander Kavanagh during his off hours when he's relaxing on the holodeck. After some taunts and insults he's sent back to the year 2005 but not through traditional time travel methods, rather he Quantum Leaps into someone else. The thing that he has to do to leap home is to stop a rouge trade federation agent from the past from destroying Earth during this period (we can work out why he wants to do this later). Anyways I've been working out various effects and below you can see tester footage for these different effects. Anyways I'm just wondering, would anyone be interested in getting involved with this? Be it helping with the script, editing, acting, etc I need as many actors as possible.

    If enough people are interested we can meet up in town at some venue and work things out whilst slowly drinking ourselves into a stuper. Please let me know what you guys think. Bear in mind that this tester footage is just re-used footage I already had on my system so two of the videos might be identical apart from the effects.

    Didn't think much of the phaser effect, but I'd be interested, assuming I could make the time

    Yeah neither did I tbh, it was just a new method for creating such an effect that I wanted to try. I'll stick with the beam I rendered in ParticleIllusion is looks much better. I just wanted to try the old rotroscoping way of doing things for the phaser, that's all. I agree tho it looks wayyy too cartoonish. Nice to know you're on board azezil... so got any ideas for the story so far? What do you feel you could bring to the project etc?
