We Have a Winner in the Fake Star Trek Footage Contest

Thanks to our intrepid, geektastic pals at Trek Movie, we have a winner in our fake Star Trek footage contest. Remember, this got started with this piece of fake footage, allegedly from JJ Abram's upcoming Star Trek reboot. So we turned to you for more fake footage, because we just can't get enough of it. Without further ado, here is our winner: Daniel Broadway, whose footage you see above. What's great about this short clip is that it looks like the pre-CGI animatics that Abrams is fond of using, and it also solves the mystery of where the heck they built the saucer portion of the ship (in space!). Plus, Broadway actually based this on the new model of the Enterprise being used in Abrams' flick. Check out a few of our honorable mentions below. More »

Enter io9's "Fake Star Trek Footage" Contest

You've got one more week to enter io9's contest — cosponsored by geekgasmic site Trek Movie — to create the very best fake footage from the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. It all got started last week when we stayed up way too late drinking, saw this fake footage (included above) allegedly from the new flick, and thought it might be real. We posted it, Trek Movie laughed at us, and we decided we needed to see some Truly Kickass fake footage. Shit that would fool professionals. Think you can whip up fake Trek footage that looks like it was stolen from J.J. Abrams' secret vault? Enter the contest! More »
