we dont have raptors so they can even turn the handle. also most of em are manually locked from the outside of the exhibit, so unless something alters such exhibit, like a fallen tree or such, they are pretty OOL and dead in there.

Welp, it's over. It seems Alec Peters has single-handedly destroyed Star Trek fan films.
http://www.startrek.com/article/star-trek-fan-film-guidelines-announced
Quote: The fan production must be less than 15 minutes for a single self-contained story, or no more than 2 segments, episodes or parts, not to exceed 30 minutes total, with no additional seasons, episodes, parts, sequels or remakes.
The title of the fan production or any parts cannot include the name “Star Trek.” However, the title must contain a subtitle with the phrase: “A STAR TREK FAN PRODUCTION” in plain typeface. The fan production cannot use the term “official” in either its title or subtitle or in any marketing, promotions or social media for the fan production.
The content in the fan production must be original, not reproductions, recreations or clips from any Star Trek production. If non-Star Trek third party content is used, all necessary permissions for any third party content should be obtained in writing.
If the fan production uses commercially-available Star Trek uniforms, accessories, toys and props, these items must be official merchandise and not bootleg items or imitations of such commercially available products.
The fan production must be a real “fan” production, i.e., creators, actors and all other participants must be amateurs, cannot be compensated for their services, and cannot be currently or previously employed on any Star Trek series, films, production of DVDs or with any of CBS or Paramount Pictures’ licensees.

Wow really...somehow I suspect this has much less to do with Red Shirt Diaries and more to do with how incredible the crowdfunding on 'Axanar' has gotten no?
http://www.space.com/33259-star-trek-axanar-trailer-released-amid-lawsuit.html
That's so terrible...it even targets the actors (who had appeared in previous ST properties) along with requiring the use of official merchandise instead of pro-am props and costumes. :/
Axanar would have been so cool, too... ;_;

AFAIK the funding isn't the problem; it's the fact that they used that funding to create a for-profit studio. Then they went even further and sold Star Trek brand merchandise without a license.
Probably didn't help that they were claiming that Axanar was going to somehow rival the movies and bring back "real Trek". With so many former Trek actors taking part, it could easily be misinterpreted as an official work.
Even despite all that, this possibly could've been avoided had Axanar shut down when CBS/Paramount first approached them. Or when they issued the C&D. But no, they had to throw everyone else under the bus by making a big public spectacle out of it.

I see the point business-wise, but from a fan-appreciation-perspective (which is ultimately what this whole thing is about, anyhow no?) I'd like to personally think that good-writing, good-storytelling, homage to source material, and love of the craft of creating a story fans would love to see is what matters most.
Once the lawyers all get involved, however appropriate it might be for them to do, that vision gets lost amid terms of 'unrealised revenue gains' and 'inappropriate use of intellectual property and likeness'.
It's just unfortunate, from my perspective. It would have made a great story, I think (from what I'd seen in 'Prelude to Axanar') if only it could have been realised.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
