While the actors playing crew members on the
Enterprise ship are preparing to start their tour of duty, behind-the-scenes crew members on the
Enterprise show are busy at work creating the new
Star Trek universe.
In the Art Department, James Martin, Anthony Fredrickson and Denise Okuda are helping the new series come to life visually. Martin previously worked as an Illustrator on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. Fredrickson was a Scenic Artist on DS9 and the last three Star Trek movies. Okuda just concluded a stint as Scenic Artist and Video Supervisor on Voyager, and served a similar role on DS9 and the last four movies. She is continuing to work alongside her husband, Scenic Arts Supervisor Michael Okuda, with whom she co-authored "The Star Trek Encyclopedia" and "The Star Trek Chronology."
Also contributing to the look of Enterprise in the form of set dressing and props are Jim Mees and Craig Binkley. Mees was Set Decorator for six seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation and five seasons of Voyager. Mees was part of the team that earned an Emmy for Outstanding Art Direction in 1990 for TNG's Klingon-themed "Sins of the Father," along with five other Emmy nominations. Binkley is new to the Star Trek world, but he is no stranger to television. His extensive credits date back to 1954 when he was an Assistant Property Master on Lassie and then Gunsmoke. He has been Propmaster on dozens of TV shows including The Rockford Files, Magnum P.I., L.A. Law, Alien Nation, The Flash, Weird Science, The Pretender and the more recent FreakyLinks.
Joining Makeup Supervisor Michael Westmore in creating a look on the actors themselves, Robert Blackman stays as Costume Designer and Michael Moore is back as Hair Stylist. Moore returns to the Star Trek fold after doing Hair on TNG and DS9. Blackman has fashioned otherworldly garb on all the Star Trek series since the early days of TNG, earning a total of eight Emmy nominations for outstanding costume design, with two wins. He also designed the Starfleet uniforms on all three TNG movies.
The new Paramount Network Television series Enterprise, the fifth installment of the Star Trek franchise, stars Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer. Please note: All production information is subject to change.
