The Federation Files
I guess I'll worry about what scene goes where during post. Shooting in the studio on upcoming episodes, "Galaxy Hopper" and "The Equinox Effect". Great performances by Jim Bumgardner and Rick Vyper.
When it comes to hiding microphones, you gotta be extremely creative in order to get the sound. The Rode Zeppelin is a real trooper.
First scenes of "Galaxy Hopper", the next episode of "The Federation Files" have been shot. The love of fan films is definitely evident in this crossover episode.
Mission
The ongoing mission of The Federation Files is to continue creating Star Trek by writing, producing and furthering the feel and essence of the original series with stories that reflect and parallel what those original stories meant and the messages that were told in the 1966-1969 season. Sure, as with dreaming and writing new stories, we hope to always be going in a direction that will be embraced as accurate to the original themes of the original series episodes. This is the place for the combining of the love of the original Star Trek TV series with the love for the creative art of movie making.

A Star Trek fan production based on the original series episode, Mudd's Women which aired 50 years ago, October 13, 1966. In this episode, The Federation Files, "My Name is Mudd", Harcort "Harry" Fenton Mudd joins the star ship U.S.S. Constitution and its crew with Captain Charles McCain. In typical Mudd fashion, nothing goes smoothly on this mission to rescue Mudd's son and friend who have been hijacked by a race who are not in the current Starfleet data base.
EPISODE 2
"WALKING BEAR, RUNNING WOLF"
Release Date: July 2017
Episode #2 of The Federation Files, "Walking Bear, Running Wolf". A Star Trek fan production based on the original series timeline. Lieutenant Dawson Walking Bear, who was first featured in Star Trek, The Animated Series, is featured in this episode where he begins to see visions of a wolf roaming the USS Enterprise corridors. Dr. McCoy has no explanation medically for Walking Bear's hallucinations but says there may be a correlation between his and his mother's 30th birthday who was lost on a deep space scouting mission. The suspense heightens when Walking Bear is confronted by the unexplained on his next away mission. Another 'come to life' character from the animated series, the cat-like alien, M'Ress.
