Temporal Scan WIP

Description

I really like the temporal integrity stuff they've introduced to Star Trek with the episodes "Future's End" / "Relativity" in Voy and continued in ENT with the introduction of Crewman Daniels and the temporal cold war plot.

Here's why:

The design is pretty cool, the sounds are more subtle and all that. Years ago I built my first LCARS animation, so it's of course only natural if I create a TCARS animation now. Because we have always heard that the Temporal Integrity Commission scans time, yet never seen it, I decided to create my own temporal scan flash movie (made 4 versions of it so far each of them with different colours). I liked the results that much, that I'm using it now as screensaver and background on my cell phone. In this example a certain event is locked and continuesly scanned for signs of manipulation. Some of the elemts you see here are placeholders (remember, this is WIP). Sounds are partially taken from the show and filtered or created on my own. :)

In the best Michael Okuda tradition I've integrated a personal touch into the animation. The temporal event that is being scanned here, is event 809 (8th of September = my birtday).

Boy what a geek I am! :D

Let me know what you think about this WIP animation. :)

As stated above:

Inspired by the TCARS animations created by Michael & Denise Okuda for Star Trek Voyager / Star Trek Enterprise.

I would love to have this as a screensaver for my Alienware x51 desktop. Love the design features you've done . I love your work and hope for a desktop screensaver out of this someday. Keep up the excellent work
