-**Richardson**: It took about four weeks to create this edit. Alec's role as Garth was a fairly large role in the original version, so a lot of cutting had to be done. The biggest challenge was finding old stock footage of Steve Ihnat that could be inserted into the film in a believable way. It should be noted that none of the Steve Ihnat footage used came from actual Star Trek. I was able to find stock footage of him from the mid 60s in a military uniform, and a friend of mine inserted him into the film on a pre-TOS style bridge. He also altered the uniform Mr. Ihnat was wearing to make it look more like an "Axanar" uniform. He did a great job bringing those shots to life. So a lot cutting and mixing had to be done. +**Richardson**: It took about four weeks to create this edit.
