Axanar Shoot Day 1 in Pictures

2 years and 9 months after Axanar Productions and CBS/Paramount settled their lawsuit, today marked the start of shooting on the two 15 minute segments(which comprise parts 4 & 5). With the cast, crew and an army of volunteers showing up at Ares Studios, everything was ready to begin filming on the USS Ares Bridge set.

Since I am unable to be there in person, I have enlisted the aid of volunteers Steven Dixon, Reece Watkins, and Trey McEwain who are taking lots of photographs and even streaming live on YouTube, documenting all the goings on for the folks that can not be there to help out. Thanks to their efforts, I can share the following images and video from day one.

JP Pool from Egotastic Funtimes(YouTube) and Trey McElwain of Axanar Comics setting up to livestream. Both have YouTube channels you should subscribe to.
