2015-04-01 Veronica gaat samenwerken met een Nederlandse filmproductie om een sci-fi serie op de buis te brengen. Ze zeggen hiermee een leegte te willen opvullen met een serieuze sciencefictionserie.
De VPRO kwam al begin dit jaar met de komische sci-fi Missie Aarde, waarvan al het tweede seizoen is aangekondigd. “Wij willen een serieuze sciencefiction serie naar de kijker brengen. Niet een serie die erop gericht is om je aan het lachen te maken maar een serie die je aan het denken gaat zetten met goede grensverleggende verhaallijnen”, aldus een woordvoerder van Veronica.
Veronica gaat samenwerken met de makers van het Nederlandse Star Trek Dark Armada, een serie die is gebaseerd op de populaire Amerikaanse televisieserie Star Trek. Het is vooralsnog onduidelijk hoe de nieuwe sciencefiction serie eruit gaat zien.
De serie gaat er hoe dan ook komen volgens Robin Hiert: “Het is een kans die wij natuurlijk niet zomaar voorbij laten gaan.” Het zal naar verwachting september 2015 op de buis verschijnen.
Our goal is to gain more experience in film making, to keep reaching a higher level and to continue producing these episodes with the quality and passion you've come to expect from us. And of course to keep Trekkin'!
ROBIN HIERT - EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Based upon the American television series "Star Trek", fan episodes of Dark Armada are published on the internet as a free stream or download.
The cast and crew of Fan Trek Productions consist of volunteers with a passion for film making and an appreciation for the television series. Payment for these episodes isn't allowed in any form due to copyright issues, so no profit can be made. The production is funded by donations from supporters of Dark Armada and from our own team.
Our goal is to gain more experience in film making, to keep reaching a higher level and to continue producing these episodes with the quality and passion you've come to expect from us. And of course to keep Trekkin'! We hope you will enjoy our episodes, the best is yet to come! ;)
This episode was intended to be a 'test episodes' rather than an actual episode for the series. It was a test to see what it would take to make a short episode using green screen/keying technology and what improvement would have to be made to master this technique.
Richardson and Katina find the U.S.S. Batavia at drift in space as they return from a shuttle mission. The crew seems to have disappeared..
In "Choices, part one" the crew of the Batavia discovers a situation with planet Y'nok that took place in the past. How is this related to the current volatile situation?
While Batavia's Warp drive is disabled, Ensigns Belissa and Robberts are on their way to the colonist in distress. What will they discover and what will the Batavia find when she eventually catches up?
When Lt. Thompson thinks that he is up for a promotion, he has to lead a rescue mission.
The event "Elf Fantasy Fair" asked us for a film making workshop. With five attendees, we shot and edited the episode in a tent within eight hours.
This vignette was made using 'old' footage from 2007. The scenes were deleted from a later version of the script for the episode titled "Nightfall". The vignette was released before "Nightfall" as a bit of a preview what's to come.
The crew of the Batavia goes down to Cententa III for a well deserved vacation when they're suddenly disturbed by a distress call from Admiral Taylor.
Someone is investigating Captain Alexander Richardson.
Coming soon.
