The VFX artist is working on filling out the corridors. As a test, we've reused some imagery of Janeway to simulate walking down the corridor. Also as an aside, I've included the first image of Chakotay from the artist and the test shot from the VFX artist.
To save money, I will try to reuse some shots from other scenes...

Hello, here you'll find 3 of my crude drawings for asking the artist to render out their version of Janeway and then the artist's spec sheet to confirm everything.

The public version of this promo has some news attached so its different. I'm giving you a chance to skip the updates because you know most of what's happening from the Discord.

I have paid for 3 shots of Seven for the first scene. Hand drawn first and then brought into the digital realm later.

Hello, here are the latest renders and early images of incorporating the characters into the scenes. As you can see, the first one with Janeway is a transition from the TV show (and resolution) to the new episode and widescreen version.
I'll also be posting these in the Discord.

Update: To Create Authentic Ambience.
I won't be able to get episode 4 out by the end of November. I've spent last week trying to find the background sounds and because there aren't any on YouTube (step 1 is scan YouTube for any good relevant uploads), I've resorted to making my own. To give you an idea of what that is like:
