The Potkustart engages her twist engines. |
The first Star Wreck animation was inspired by a PC game called
Star Control II. Star Wreck I was drawn frame by frame using
Deluxe Animation. 3d rendering programs were quite limited back
in those days and I knew nothing about programs like 3d studio.
So only the top-view was used and the use of sound was very
limited. But this was the first animation that included speech
and sound effects, although we only had three different actors...
Starring Samuli Torssonen as captain Pirk, Antti Keskinen (for
the first and the last time) as Mr Fukov (which is actually
a real Czech surname! ) and Janne Torssonen as the captain of
the CPP Ekselsseri.

The Potkustart has just arrived and fires at a Plingon
Vulture. |
This movie has nothing to do with the later Star Wrecks except
the characters' names. The so called story is quite simple:
the CPP Potkustart is recalled to Earth after receiving a distress
call. The Potkustart ("Kickstart" in English translations)
must fight the enemy forces together with the CPP Ekselsseri.
The story is bad, the graphics are bad, the sounds are bad and
the so called acting is very bad. This is a classic! And this
is a challenge for the Finnish audience; I bet you can't make
out every word in this movie...
