Tales from the ‘Trek’ Trailer - Friday 12 June, 2009 |
Story by Steve Buscaino (with assistance from Ron Pipes)
Make-up artist and creature effects technician Steve Buscaino writes about working on the new Star Trek movie and what it took to put together a make-up lab to have on the Paramount lot during filming. Buscaino says the idea was to have a mobile lab that could travel with the production as needed, which he and his team had done for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The Star Trek lab proved to be an efficient and cost-effective idea, on a much bigger scale.

the union’s three major divisions, including in Hollywood.
