+ | After treating attendees at a panel at Denver Comic Con to a two-minute trailer for //Axanar//, producer [[Alec Peters]] had leaked copies taken down from YouTube and Facebook after it was criticized for technical problems. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The trailer, cobbled together from visual effects shots completed prior to the [[copyright_infringement|copyright]] [[lawsuit]] faced by Axanar, also included voiceovers and footage shot in October 2015 on the set of //Star Trek: New Voyages// that is not part of the actual film. | ||

+ | |||
+ | After it was screened on June 18, 2016, in Denver, the trailer was posted for 18 hours on the private Facebook page set up exclusively for people who donated to Axanar in its Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns. | ||
+ | |||
+ | From there, the trailer was leaked to YouTube and Facebook, with Axanar Productions filing repeated takedown notices with YouTube, ironically claiming the leak constituted a copyright violation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Criticism ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | While the 20-minute short film, //Prelude to Axanar//, created to attract donations to fund the feature, //Axanar//, was roundly praised for its storytelling and technical merits, the leaked trailer faced criticism, even from the project' | ||

+ | |||
+ | Others criticized the trailer for being more of the same — starship flybys, space battles and stentorian military monologs — the voiceovers featuring noticeable audio problems. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of course, since no principal photography at all has begun on //Axanar//, the CGI starships and voiceovers were all director Robert Meyer Burnett had to work with. Except for footage shot in [[timeline|October 2015]] on the Enterprise interiors constructed by //Star Trek: New Voyages// in Ticonderoga, | ||

+ | ==== Not Available ==== | ||

+ | Donors in the group complained about the short time the trailer had been available to them on Facebook. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Can someone link me to the actual video?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bawden replied that access to the trailer was only posted "for a limited time, as a donor perk," and that the promised new version would be available first to donors before the general public.((Mike Bawden post on Axanar Donor Group on Facebook, 6/19/16.)) Other donors had problems with that. | ||
