All of the footage for this video was recorded in just two days by a crew of only two people at the 2012 Ottawa Comic-Con. It took several weeks to edit the clips down and assemble the Star Trek tribute montage.
Sir Patrick Stewart was supposed to also be a guest in person, but had to drop out due to other commitments, preventing a rare double live appearance by both Star Trek captains together - he played Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation while Comic-Con guest William Shatner had played Captain James T. Kirk in the original series and films.
