Trek Yourself! A Star Trek prequel cartoon
Golden Age Animation; Short Film (Parody)
Teen / college humour animation - Star Trek Into Darkness crossed with Animal House - by Dan Meth
Star Trek: Endurance
Silver Age Audio; Series (Drama)
Created by Jeremy Slygh, this audio drama started as an experiment with AI. "After I designed a ship (based on an old Starbot cereal toy) and created a crew from one-off Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, a couple of characters based on Star Trek history, and using myself as the ship's captain, I asked ChatGPT to deliver a text-based "choose-your-own-adventure" challenge based on a format I provided in the Star Trek universe. It performed remarkably well. But once I realized ChatGPT was going to keep the story going indefinitely, I provided it with an ending. From there, I translated the story into a script, shortened it, and also edited it to correct for the situations where ChatGPT got off track a little. I used Eleven Labs to clone my voice, selected stock voices from its library, and dropped in the finished script to create the audio version. Using Audacity to combine the finished Eleven Labs audio file with AI-generated music, sound effects from TrekCore.com and Noiiz, it was almost complete. Then, using Sora, I created the videos that would introduce the audio drama. This is the result of that work. It was fun to see this come to life after many human hours were combined with the work produced from AI."
Puppet Trek
Silver Age Toys / Puppets / Stop-Motion; Series (Parody)
Amazing fan films made in the style of puppets and stop motion animation! "...this is all generated on my gaming pc while im sleeping and it's not being used, no cloud services were used in the making of this video. Takes about a week to generate an episode, but its fun to write the scripts and scenes."
The Last Light
Era Not Applicable Animation; Series (Drama) — UK
A drama-driven AI fan film series from Creative Madness Media, a collaboration between British CGI channel Digital Voodoo and the Star Trek Vidcast channel The Transporter Room.

"Sylvia Travers" is a virtual performer, a "progressive rock musician from the 23rd century, currently serving as a Workbee Pilot/Technician aboard the U.S.S. Krakatoa NCC-5350". The videos are all original arrangements made using AI, of classic songs to create a playlist that has Star Trek roots. The director Ian Burke has used a combination of human-created lyrics and music with AI singing & instrumental backing to place the music into a different genre.
