Dammit Jim, I'm a Trekkie not a filmmaker!

While I've been recuperating from a cold the past few days I've gotten hooked on the web series Hidden Frontier which I discovered via the folks at EpiGuide, who added Bear Town to their web series directory last week. Hidden Frontier is fan fiction taken to the next level - a homemade Star Trek series made by fans for fans. I've been fascinated by a lot of the episodes because they are utilizing many of the production techniques I'll be using to make Bear Town.

To be honest, the acting on Hidden Frontier is pretty wooden and the dialogue feels forced and is full of technobabble, but they do a really good job combining green screen shots of the cast with stock shots of various Star Trek sets. The highlight of the series is definately the CG work, most of which has a nice cinematic feel to it. I've haven't totally bought in to their blanket-draped alien villains, but that Chief Lefler (Kelly Jamison) is a hottie!
