Well it has been another six months
That 25 minutes of footage has haunted us for 2 years. We still have not completed it. Maybe the Valentine to the fans will finally be, in 2019, the first official trailer of Starship Chimera.

Production Resumes Jan 2018
B roll production resumed after yet another hiatus of 6 months. This time it was not the copyright issue from 2016, but rather that Marx Cards as producer director was not available.
The planet balls from 2017 had to be touched up after a hot summer chipped some of the paint off of them. They're made from toy rubber balls painted with acrylics.
The donation of a realistic Deep Space Nine Runabout model from former TV actor Brian Storey, in August 2017, was not assembled until yesterday and today.
The ship will be featured as the 'Shuttle that takes Riker back to the Titan A' in the script. So it would not be in the DS9 scene but at Earth.
Originally it was an unnamed shuttle, but they have named it the Jacques in honor of the former Storey house street name, and it looks fantastic. It had to be assembled and then painted, and to look weathered and over 20 years old.
The release of the film is moved up once again, to mid Summer 2018.
Twenty five minutes of acting footage remains, and all of the B roll planet effects and second part ship effects. Estimates of time for completion of those will rest on if they can complete also the dialog.

Starship Chimera Update August 8 2017
Note. Starship Locations is keeping better tabs on this than this google channel.
The summer hiatus draws to an end, and B unit production will begin on the space shots from the film.
We have a new model donated to the fan film, which is a runabout toy Rio Grande, to be built later.
It is not in the script.
The two conventions earlier in summer were great, except for the con cold at the end of Fanime. We will return next year, and possibly have more to say.
We have at least two or three interested former Chimera game people on board for future Starship Locations, but they will not be in the movie.
Hopefully, Chimera will be out this December. We are so close.
We will also do a run down of all the ship models being used, especially new ones from the film, when it comes out.
Nothing herein with make any profit from Star Trek, as this is a parody.

Happy New Year 2017 Chimera News
Hiatus is on again but will end this Thursday with production on the last 25 minutes of the film, including the second unit, for a possible wrap of the film in early March, and a release mid April 2017.
Also in late April, the local Silicon Valley Comic Con is doing Star Trek The Next Generation, 30th anniversary stuff, and so we will be there at the convention, but any download copies 'on release day' of Chimera will be totally free, and not for sale.

Hiatus Ends Nov 10 with New Filming!
The production went over Scene 68 roughly, night shoot, with Kat and Cards on the studio 1 set on the table. The scene involved a James Kirk toy action figure from the movie era perched on a sloping brown cliff where he and what appears to be Morn from DS9 are perched. Not so sure what this scene is, but apparently both are about to fall off the building into some kind of chasm.
In an earlier teaser scene we got to see the same toy figure of Kirk in the 'alien simulation of the bridge', It could be this is the Kirk figure who has now gone out and gotten into trouble. The curious Morn figure appears to be someone else. We've seen them use figures to play other roles. He is likely the Eon character from the Q scene from the earlier scenes, 'about Q being jerky' in that Aladdin like scene from months ago.
Not sure of what their relationship is in the story or how it is part of the plot, but it looks interesting!
It has been ten years since someone shot a scene for the film! The special guest that recorded his lines when the first draft was completed did his lines almost 10 years ago, as of next December 7. He was not there for the current scene. He hasn't been on the set at all during the other footage, but he was mentioned during the shooting.
It looks like principle photography will wrap around Christmas 2016 and this will bow in February 2017 in time to be a Valentine to the fans! Yay!
Star Trek Chimera is the first go motion animated action figure film and the first animated Star Trek spoof of this type and length, and the first animated Star Trek since 1974.
It is not official nor will it make any profit. It will be free on social media.
