Fan Made Shows/Movies?

@startrek

Any particular shows people here like watching? I’ve seen Renegades and a few others. I’m currently in the middle of Phase II. The special effects impress me for the budgets involved, and the writing/acting makes me appreciate the professionals more :^P I don’t want to shit on any of them though. The effort is solid, and they’re still an enjoyable watch.

    One thing I really notice is timing in the dialog. It’s one of those ‘I know it when I see it’ things. I couldn’t do any better if I were producing it, but I can see a clear difference between amateur and professional shows. It’s hard to exactly put my finger on it, but they’ll hold onto a shot, the dialog will lag by a little bit, and it doesn’t land as well as it could.

      Yeah the audio mixing too. I almost feel mean saying this, but Trek fan productions have really made me appreciate good acting and good audio.

          “That’s because that /is/ Ted, the sysadmin from Xcorp” :^D

          I know what you mean. I think I could work with that though. It gives it a more true life representation of people doing their thing. When combined with the other “errors” though; it makes it harder… or something. Probably best to adjust expectations, and enjoy them for what they are. Homemade Trek is better than no Trek, so it’s something new when nothing else is on
