18: Resonating with Familiarity

Star Trek: Secret Voyage.


The Original Series—or at least the late 23rd century—tends to be
the focal point of today's fan productions; but that doesn't mean
Kirk and Spock must always take the lead. There was a gap between
the end of the five-year mission and the refit of the Enterprise
as we saw it in The Motion Picture. What happened during that
time?


Star Trek: Secret Voyage, a creation of Craig Sheeler, is the
story of a special mission carried out aboard the historic 1701
but under the command of a different captain with a different
crew. In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by Craig
to learn more about the series, various aspects of
production—including creating visual effects, composing original
music that’s true to TOS, shooting in the desert, the premise
behind the first two episodes, and more.
