First Shot Of Enterprise In Motion

UPN aired its final new Enterprise promo yesterday, liberally making use of completed special effects footage. This included the first look at the Enterprise in motion.

The new 30-second promo premiered yesterday during UPN's final-ever Voyager showing, a repeat of the two-hour 'Endgame' episode. The trailer ran for thirty seconds, and included both new dialogue and several scenes containing visual effects, culminating in a shot of the Enterprise going to warp. As usual, the clip is available for download at several sites, but first here you'll find a transcript for those with less bandwidth to spare:

The new trailer will likely be shown on UPN more over the coming week, but has also been made available for download on several internet sites. Mr. Video Productions has a 5.7 MB MPEG version available, while Trek5.com has the video in QuickTime Format.

In addition to the new 30-second trailer, UPN also made available several shorter videos to its affiliates. Some of these were so-called 'countdown' videos, briefly telling viewers how many days are still left until the 'Broken Bow' premiere. This trailer featured a short shot of the Enterprise leaving spacedock, which is shown here to the left. These videos can also be downloaded at Vidiot.
