Visual Effects Producer Dan Curry Talks About ENT |

The Official Star Trek web site has posted an interview with ENT visual effects producer Dan Curry in which he talks about the look of the latest Star Trek series.
Curry explains what a visual effects producer does on the series, "My job title is Visual Effects Producer and, unlike most people who fall into that category, I'm much more hands-on. I work with Visual Effects Supervisors Ron [B.] Moore and Mitch Suskin. I do some of the matte paintings myself and sometimes I'll design ships or work together with the [producers] supervising things on stage. I also direct second unit and design a lot of the bladed weapons. I'm kind of like a visual effects ombudsman."
Talking about the challenges of ENT, "First of all, the volume of effects for the pilot was huge. We had the Suliban matrix that would break up, all those scenes that took place inside the layers of a gas giant and the pre-echo effect that Ron Moore really took over. Then we had to do a variation on the transporter that looked more primitive than what we were doing on Voyager and Deep Space Nine, yet took advantage of the increased technology we now have available that was not available when we did TNG . That was the whole trick of balancing ? it's supposed to be set prior to the Original Series ? but we had to make it look like, or give it the feel that it took place prior to the time of the Original Series, yet use all our tools effectively and make our visual effects more sophisticated than was technically possible when the Original Series was done. That was kind of a trick and we ultimately just decided to do the best we can and not worry about making it look as, what has come to be perceived as, the more naïve look of the Original Series."
In discussing whether he was pleased with ENT, "so far, think everybody on the crew will attest to the fact that this has been a joy to work on. A lot of that comes from the nature of the stories, the premise and that it's a little bit more rough and ready. A lot of it has to do with the overall mood on the set and the influence of Scott Bakula. His professionalism, attitude and eminent enthusiasm and cooperation and respect for the crew have really made the atmosphere on the set a joy.
