A remix of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Details below!
Temba, his arms wide! In Tamarian this signifies the giving of a gift, first heard in the excellent episode Darmok. Data & Picard is my tribute to one of the greatest TV series of all time. It is an original track featuring the voices of Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander Data (Brent Spiner), accompanied by a music video I shot entirely in my living room with a green screen and lights.
The track opens with the Klingon Victory Song, followed by a remix of Data singing Che Gelida Manina in the episode 'In Theory'. This episode was the first ever to be directed by Patrick Stewart and I didn't realize this until after the track was finished.
I sourced the Ben Nye makeup that was used to turn Spiner into Data, and a replica of the iconic Star Fleet uniform. Unfortunately I couldn't get the contact lenses in and I could only get the uniform in red, so I spent a huge amount of time changing the colour of my eyes and uniform in post.
The video was shot in Slog 4k ProRes HQ using a Sony A7SII and an Atomos Ninja Flame. Lights included 3x Arri 800w Tungstens, 2x Socanland LED banks to light the screen, and one 2000w Blonde to simulate sunlight.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra!
AshenkaseSHAKA, When the Walls Fell.
The Tamarians communicated through narrative imagery. Need to include the name with the time and place reference
FIRST OFFICER: Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel.
FIRST OFFICER: Mirab. With sails unfurled.
Picard extends the Tamarian dagger toward the First
Officer, offering it back to him.
PICARD: Temba. His arms open.
FIRST OFFICER: Temba at rest.
PICARD (almost to himself): Thank you…
When the walls fell.
newtboyFine......Damon and Jalad when the walls fell.
That's only wrong if you know the entire history/language and know the when the walls fell that Damon and Jalad weren't doing anything...It could be an argument that what they were doing when the walls fell is more apropos than what they did at Tanagra.....you grammar Tamerian.
