Leaked Star Trek Trailer hits the web
We are unsure if this is legit or not, but it appears that this MIGHT be a leaked Star Trek trailer.
Is this legit? We are getting reports from both sides saying it’s ‘fake’ or it’s ‘real’ … we ourselves are unsure.
Then we got this:
Ummm, wow. Yeah, that’s most definitely fake, because I made it.
Here’s what happened.
My roommate jumped on my computer while I was sleeping to do this. He stays up all night, because he works an evening shift. He thought it would be funny to post it online as a “leaked” trailer to try to fool people. I had left a test render going overnight, and I had planned on releasing it on Friday after I polished up the CG a bit more.
However, for some reason, my roommate thought it looked good enough to fool people. I don’t know why. Obviously, it is inspired by the Trekmovie.com teaser, and it uses music and elements from other movies.
So, I just want to apologize for the big misunderstanding. My roommate just woke me up, and told me what he did. He is now standing over my shoulder laughing it up. Anyway, again, I really apologize for the confusion.
I’m kind of bummed about this. I was gonna release the trailer on a fan site or two, in the spirit of fun. But since the cat is already out of the bag, I guess I’ll go ahead and post it now…
You can view it at much higher quality here….
Also, for anyone who wants to see the Enterprise in my trailer better, here are some HD frame grabs and here .
I hope this event hasn’t tainted your guys opinion of my trailer. I worked really hard on it, and I wanted the fans to enjoy it. Please do not think ill of it over the actions of my prankster roommate.
