Season 4




Tensions arise in the Alpha Quadrant. The Dominion is trying to divide the factions to destabilize the region and take over. Klingons against Cardassians, Federations against Klingons – the more they fight amongst themselves, the weaker they get against the Dominion.

We are David Frank and Christian Lerch and this is a fun project we do in our spare time. We are Motion Designers, Star Trek Fans and Sci-Fi nerds.

Watching “Star Trek: The Next Generation” on Blu-Ray we developed the idea to create some (non-profit) teasers featuring animated interface designs from our favorite Star Trek show “Deep Space Nine” in the hope that CBS will give it the same HD treatment.

Season 1




This is our teaser for Season 1 of “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”. It features the Cardassian Space Station shortly before the pilot of DS9. The Cardassians just left after over 50 years of occupation and the Bajorans are about to take over the Station. The station kind of senses the imminent arrival of the bajoran military forces and “wakes up”.
