directors and actors can again see and feel their environment. It's been a game-changer, allowing us to conceive and shoot entire sequences with minimal VFX touchup and without resorting to finding fresh and ever-distant locations to shoot. For the final show-stopper of season one, we expanded the reach of the virtual production wall, building out over a 100-foot riser with a practical street set for our Kowloon-inspired salvage planet, Ukeck. For a show on a tight production schedule and short post-turnaround, we have breached the wall of studio-bound bottle episodes and opened our imagination to boldly go twelve hundred years into the future. "One man cannot summon the future…" –Spock And so, Star Trek has become the grandaddy of sci-fi, amassing sixty years and over eight hundred hours of television history.

And I don't think my four-year-old self, growing up in front of the TV in rural Ontario would have dared to dream that he would one day be a part of that legacy. And the magic lives on—every time I walk our sets or stare into the abyss of the virtual production wall, I'm still blown away by what the human imagination can conjure up. Maybe one man cannot summon the future, but collectively we can boldly go just about anywhere… ADG APPROVED E. TOROTH SHUTTLE. CONCEPT ILLUSTRATION BY FRANK YANG. F. UKECK MARKET.
