Hello Frank,
Star Trek: The Next Generation and The X-Files had very similar production and post-production. Both shot on 35mm with the visual effects completed on video. Here’s what Paramount/CBS did to make Star Trek: TNG HD worthy:
* Starting from scratch and using the original film negatives, edited the shows again to match the editing from the original broadcasts.
* Instead of upconverting visual effects, they were recompositioned for a 1080p workflow.
* The newly cut film was then transferred to high definition with a lossless surround sound mix.
* Original broadcast aspect ratio was preserved.
Essentially, they redid the entire show. As I’m sure you’ve seen, the results are stunning! Couldn’t The X-Files do the same thing that Star Trek: TNG did? All it takes is a time and money commitment from the studio. Paramount/CBS did it… 20th Century Fox can do it too! Thanks for all the greatness through the years. I loved Strike Back this past year and am really looking forward to your new show.
Best,
Antonio

Star Trek: The Next Generation is going HD on Blu Ray this year and I was wondering if The X-Files was shot on film or if it was shot on video like many shows were at the time of The X-Files?
Also would like to thank you for many great episodes of The X-Files and I Want To Believe.

William, The X-Files was shot on 35mm, but the visual effects were completed on video which, as you undoubtedly suspect, presents an issue for a Blu-Ray release because of the lower image resolution.

Hello Frank!
We wanted to give you a heads up to our report on the happenings of our meeting with Fox on 01/13!
The final tally of pictures we delivered was 5,461 photos that added up to 43.4 pounds of wishes and stories of why this amazing Fandom wants and deserves to have an XF3.
To know the detailed rundown of the meeting go here.
We wanted to thank each and everyone that helped us to get where we are today. We are stronger because of the fantastic people that are part of this Fandom, including you, and we are incredibly lucky to be in service of a fantastic group of people that not only are smart and talented but faithful and loyal.
So now, we wait.

One of the greatest X-Files fanvids of all time has not only been remastered, it’s been extended!
The original video by Yellowbee was uploaded to YouTube four years ago this month and to date, has over 42,000 views. While the first version focused on Mulder and Scully’s partnership, this video extends far beyond that. The Story of Mulder and Scully follows their entire relationship from beginning until now, and is a very poignant reminder of what we’ve been missing since 2008.
What is it about The X-Files that brings so many people together, still watching after all these years? Why did it become a cultural phenomenon, spanning at least two generations? The answers to those questions are woven throughout this video. The X-Files has always been about more than just entertaining television viewers. It’s about universal concepts that we all hold onto; truth, hope, belief, perseverance in the face of great adversity, and above all, not giving up. It’s those concepts that remain with us, all these years later. It’s not just the story of Mulder and Scully. It’s the story of us all.

I made this.
It’s not yet the finely detailed insanity that you’ve come to expect from me… LOL.

Hello Frank!
We wanted to extend our warmest wishes to you and all the X-Files Family!
We’ve been blessed with an amazing year that proved that our fandom is still very much alive and well. Many great new projects from you and many other X-Files alumni showed us that we are fans of some of the most talented people in the world, and we couldn’t be more proud of that!
May this new year bring you amazing success with Nemesis. We’re looking forward to what the new year has in store for us, like the continuation of the XF3 Army campaign with our visit to 20th Century Fox in January, a new season of the XFN Studio, starting with the amazing Howard Gordon and many more other projects to be unveiled.
Lots of hugs and warm wishes from the entire XFN team and X-Philes alike!

Frank,
Haven’t heard from us in a while. 
We are still hear working hard behind the scenes to get a Millennium project off the ground! There are some things going on behind the scenes that have us hopeful that something may break for Millennium in the near future.
We just wanted to send you and the 1013 fans interested an update on our book. We are still on schedule for a Spring 2012 release for our book. As we said before, the book will contain critical essays from award winning writers, updated and new interviews with cast and crew and contributions from the Back to Frank Black staff as well. One thing we are really excited about is that Brittany Tiplady, who played Jordan Black during Millennium‘s run, is taking part in the book. She is now studying to be a journalist and wrote and essay reflecting on her time during Millennium.
