JUNE 17, 2022 - Back in April, we brought you a video from Gazelle Automations presenting a scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series, of the 1970s. The initial video, which is nearing a half million views on YouTube, doesn’t seem to be the end of the line for the team at Gazelle. Star Trek: Voyager: The Animated Series - a new video in the same TAS style as before -  was uploaded to YouTube last week featuring a critical scene from the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Threshold”.

That’s right.

It’s everything you never wanted to know about Captain Janeway and Lieutenant Tom Paris, but gloriously redone in the style of The Animated Series!

The TAS musical score, seemingly regardless of the Star Trek series, readily sets the tone for the dramatic abduction of Captain Janeway by the “naturally mutated” Tom Paris. Throw in an unknown alien bridge officer as a callback to TAS - and a few lizard babies - and you’ve got yourself a show! The new clip from Voyager dwarfs Gazelle’s two minute TNG scene in overall length at a whopping five minutes, forty-one seconds. In just six days online, the scene from “Threshold” has almost 200,000 views.

To get a better idea of how the team at Gazelle Automations recreated the look, feel, and sounds of The Animated Series, why not check out the behind-the-scenes video How We Animated Star Trek: TNG: TAS? In the video, Gazelle executive producer and visual effects artist Justin Lee describes the process of recreating the style of The Animated Series in the twenty first century, right down to replicating the smudges on the (now digital) animation cels.
