Star Trek: A Celebration in Large-Format Book Form

This book has been sitting on my shelf for more than five years. After buying Star Trek: A Celebration, I gave the colourful and informative document a quick scan before filing it. Typical. With Star Trek celebrating its 60th, there's good reason to crack it open again.

The chapters are varied and interesting. Many of us love the cast, and the characters they played, but I thought I would not cover their respective chapters, as most fans know all about them. For this post I decided to capture a few of those fascinating behind-the-scenes sections. A small sampling....

Art Department — Making Strange New Worlds

Designing for the Future — Unexpected Exposure

Makeup Department — First In, Last Out

VFX Department — Making the Impossible Real

Music Department — Opera in Outer Space

The music! That magnificent music.
