Welcome


This is the 22nd newsletter from Final Frontier Media and the 1st of 2009. You can find the previous newsletters here. First I will tell you about the latest updates of Final Frontier Media. These news Items will be larger than the news item you can read at the website. Last year I introduced a new subject, which is called "Music videos of the month". Two music videos will be highlighted every month. In the Opinions section you can find opinions about music videos which are stated on YouTube, BBS/Forum or E-mail. The Subspace section will tell you something about other websites. You can read a in "The undiscovered Country something of what I'm going to do in the future with this website. Every newsletter will end with some writings from me about my website, or the newsletter or something completely different. At the bottom of the newsletter you can read how to contact me or how you unsubscribe from this newsletter. On the left side you can see a small table of contents. By clicking on them you can navigate through the newsletter.



 

News

This is the 22ndnewsletter from Final Frontier Media and the first of 2009. Normally I write only a newsletter at the end of an even month, but November and December weren't done, so some information from those months, will be in this newsletter. Furthermore, a new year with new opportunities.

Off course in December and November not a lot has done, due to moving houses. But in January all ready 10 new music videos have been added. Two new links have been added. Also new functionality is added. Also some bad news this month. YouTube has removed a lot of music videos from my account.

Because ending with good news is better I start with the bad news. Youtube has removed a lot of music videos, because they couldn't agree with Warner Music Groep (WMG). They own a lot of licences when it becomes to music. At least twenty music videos have been removed. Therefore those music videos are only available for download at the moment. So it's important to keep in touch with the website, to hear everything about the new music videos.

More news

Only two new links were added this month. A link to Janet's Star Trek Voyager website. A very large website about Star Trek Voyager. It will take some time to see it all. Also I have added a link to Strekonline.com. A website which provide a lot of screenshot about Star Trek and a lot of other series. You can find the new links in the Links section.

I've added the latest Star Trek 2009 Theatrical Trailer. It's the 2nd version with the older Spock at the end. In my opinion this is a little bit better trailer then the 1st version. It's a bit late, but it's online. You can find this trailer in the category Paramount in the music videos section.

Also one new music video is added in the Other Category. It's created by some one who would like to be anonymous. The music video is called Strange Tapestries and is about the Next Generation episode Tapestry. A very nice, good and even funny music video about this great episode. You can find the music video in the category Other.



 

More news

Two new music videos, Kiss Kiss and Closer, created by Mistyfur are added this month. Both are off course Star Trek Voyager music videos. Both music videos are about the friendship and possible love between Captain Janeway and Commander Chakotay, it's just through which eyes your looking. You can find the music videos here.

In the category Scifispace I've added a total of 4 music videos. Two of them are created by Lennart, One by Roelof P. and one by Daniel. The music video Equinox is about the double parter Equinox from Star Trek Voyager. A video full of action. In the end is about the last few episodes (exception of mirror episodes) of Star Trek Enterprise. Music is from Coldplay. Before it's to Late is a wonderful music videos about Friendship and love in Star Trek Deep Space Nine. After the Only Time Remake, one fan remarked; "where's the original", well here it is. Only Time, created by Daniel. You can find all music videos in the Scifispace Category.

More news

The last two music videos I added this month are created by Linsey and are called: "Strong enough" and "Push it all aside". In both music videos Malcom Reed is the subject. In Push it all aside it's about him and his buddy Trip. In Strong enough it's about his "relationship" with Captain Jonathan Archer. Both are great music videos and you can find them here.

At almost every page I've added the "back to top" functionality. At some pages you have to scroll a lot and the menu is only at the top of a page. By using the back to top button, you don't have to scroll that much and you save time.

Every month I update the Archives with old news and update the statistics with the latest download numbers of all music videos. These information is available at the statistics page. So if you're interested in what the most popular music videos are, overall, last month, this year, last year, etc. Please take a visit to the statistics by clicking here.



 

Music videos of the month


In this last year introduced part of the newsletter two music videos are chosen to be the Music videos of the month. One of the music videos deserve the recognition because of the statistics. This can be sudden popularity or just the opposite. The second music video will be one I choose because of my personal opinion of it.
  
Music video #1 - Federation Convention X (Special)

This was the opening movie of FedCon X back in 2002. This video is wonderful and a true tribute to Star Trek. This video is part of this website from almost the beginning. Last month it was very popular and did go up six places in the top 50 downloads of music videos. Enjoy it!
Music video #2 - Farewell (Final Frontier Media)

This music video is the first real music video I've made and I'm still proud of it. It was much more difficult to create this music video than it looks. Because of the images this music video never was viewable at Youtube. In 2006 and 2007 it was in the top 10 of downloads and it was the most downloaded music video in 2008. I know, you'll love this.

Final Frontier Media wants your opinion!

Opinions



In October I created the music video "The Moment". Here you can read some opinions stated on several BBS or Fora around the World Wide Web.

That was amazing, perfect in fact.... I have saved it..... and it does make me want to watch the movies again, it's time for a marathon..... Great job... it made my day! - V-seven at "Startrekfans.net"
 
that was pretty cool, way better than anything i could ever do  - Sini at "Startrekfans.net"

Very nice. Thanks for sharing your work. Goal acheived. - sbk1234 at "TrekBBS"

This is cool but LONG. I can only take so much Kenny G. However, there was another video on the page I liked-In Caelum Fero, I think it was called. Played it for my wife and she said, "That was totally mesmerizing!" Which is coming from a non-fan, mind you. Good work. - Mistral at "TrekBBS"

It was lovely - it was fun to see all of the visually exciting shots! - Terylinn at "Trekunited.com"

Your comments in the BBS or Fora are always welcome. Also Youtube Comments are welcome. You can also enter comments in the contact section.

Future plans

I'm still looking for people who do create music videos so I can add them to the collection. Also stories or comments about my website are welcome. If you write comments and you want that it will be in the next newsletter, make sure you write more than a few words. All ideas or comments can be send to me through the contact form, which you can find here. When you want to publish your music video you can do the same.

In the near future I'm going to update the StarTrek 2009 section. All the latest images and possible videos will be added. Due to my absence in November and December I wasn't able to keep this section updated.

I'm still busy to changing the website. I want all pages consequent in fonts, menu, sub-menu, etc. It will take some time before this is done because there are a lot of things that need to be done, and it isn't the most enjoyable thing to do.

Furthermore I'm again started with a new music video. It came at me when writing this newsletter and watching all the music videos available here. So when I've news, you will here it as soon as possible.
