Star Trek The Artistry Of Dan Curry

We’re spoiled.  Too often as TV viewers we take for granted the incredible special effects (both practical and digital) we see on the small screen.

That’s especially true when it comes to the Star Trek TV franchise.

Star Trek (in all of its TV manifestations) has always been on the cutting edge of set design, visual effects, costume and creature designs, practical effects and so forth.

One person in particular has been with the Star Trek franchise practically from the start.

Dan Curry is well known among artists for his designs for the Star trek franchise.  His work has been recognized and awarded with seven Emmy Awards.

In Star Trek The Artistry Of Dan Curry, from Titan Books, readers are given a behind-the-scenes tour of how the many effects and designs came about in the Star Trek franchise.

Pages are filled with concept sketches, final illustrations, completed projects and stunning miniatures, sets, weapons, futuristic equipment, accessories and more.

Experts in the industry give their personal accounts of working with Dan, how they went about creating their various projects and what it takes to pull a series together using all the visual and practical effects and physical pieces.  

Inside Stories reveal the work behind the magic complemented by photos, art, blueprints and more.
