“We’re constantly trying to infuse more dynamic lighting and moving, interactive elements into our environments. It’s terrific for a DP to have access to tools like these.”
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is technically not the first Trek project to embrace LED-volume in-camera visual effects — that achievement belongs to Season 4 of Star Trek: Discovery — but the new Paramount Plus series is the first in the franchise to be designed entirely around them.
Strange New Worlds, the latest series in the Gene Roddenberry spawned sci-fi universe, serves as a prequel, chronicling the adventures of the crew aboard the USS Enterprise before James T.
