Todd Masters and his special effects team at MASTERSFX put together one of cinema's most audacious entrances when the Borg Queen of "Star Trek: First Contact" descends from the rafters and fuses her head and shoulders with the rest of her body. This seamless special effect, incorporating stunning make-up, costume, blue screen and digital trickery, along with top-notch acting, all serve to heighten the scene's intensity.

In this exclusive interview, Masters explains the thinking behind the conception of the scene, along with the execution. Included in this video are some of the storyboards that helped the special effects team plan their magic.
