765874 - Regeneration

I have to admit, I would really love to see this in some sort of film. The little bits and bobs that they have shown hint at story.
Am I reading correctly that this was mostly or all prosthetic makeup?
I love mostly all iterations of Trek, but as I get older, and older still, 12 year old me would love to see this.
 
Not actually a fan production. This is from OTOY, the company making content for the Roddenberry Archive.

I mean, it's not canon, I'm not sure in what sense it's a licensed Star Trek product. It's an odd duck, but "fan-film" kind of applies as much as anything else.

What's the significance of the title? Is it a stardate?

It's Yeoman Colt's service number. She and Spock seem to be the viewpoint characters for the... whatever-it-is these teaser trailer montages are leading up to.

It may not be canonical material, but it's clearly licensed. For what it's worth, my original comment was just to give information, but I can see that the brevity of the post may have possibly seemed argumentative. Apologies to all if it was taken that way.

This is where it gets complicated. Just because the Roddenberry family is involved and presumably bankrolling this, since it doesn't have the CBS/Paramount logos, it's a fan film.
 
Right. The amount of in-universe presentation contradicts it being a work of real-world scholarship (especially stuff about the virtual tours being of "actual" bridges and corridors and not the real-world stages), but it's also not presented as "Star Trek: The Roddenberry Archive," and while there's a copyright and trademark acknowledgement of CBS and Star Trek, the museum page doesn't seem to have the magic words showing it's an official Star Trek product (for example, a recent Star Trek novel's copyright page included the notice, "This book is published by Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, Inc., under exclusive license from CBS Studios Inc.").

I think, legally speaking, it's closer to being a fan-film than anything else, albeit with a tacit endorsement by CBS.

A licensed fan production? It's not produced by CBS and no clue what their oversight is, but it's more official than Star Trek Continues

Apparently OTOY does some kind of real-time digital touchup to the actor's eyes and a few other elements to make him resemble Nimoy more.

I assume that includes his teeth, which jumped out at me in some of the other sequences they've released as matching Nimoy's too closely for prosthetics (as far as I'm aware).

I seriously am hoping to see more of this in the future. Can't wait.

Seriously, make THE RETURN, now!
And they could move it on in the timeline? They want revenge on Janeway instead?


Thing is most people think of TOS/60s for Kirk and Spock but for me it’s Enterprise A TUC era!

I think you are in the wrong thread (is there one for unification?!). It’s supposed to be hers and spock’s son, anyway.
Yup, Robin Curtis confirmed it's Spock's son in an interview. Which is an odd thing to include, considering that Bennet and Meyer purposefully removed the one line about Saavik being pregnant, while they were rewriting "The Voyage Home". OTOY took the idea of Spock and Saavik's son from the novel "Vulcan's Heart".
