[ST:E] Star Trek Veterans Back on the Job
SW4747
A number of familiar faces are back on the Paramount lot as Enterprise, the
fifth Star Trek series, proceeds through its first week of shooting.
James L. Conway, who directed numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Next
Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager, is at the
helm of the pilot episode of Enterprise. Backing him up--as they will for
every director this season--are Jerry Fleck as First Assistant Director (1st
AD), and Michael DeMeritt as Second Assistant Director (2nd AD). Fleck was
1st AD on TNG and Voyager, as well as the movies "Star Trek: First Contact"
and "Star Trek: Insurrection." DeMeritt was 2nd AD on Voyager.
Overseeing all aspects of production, Brad Yacobian is back as Unit
Production Manager (UPM), reporting to Supervising Producer Merri D. Howard.
Yacobian previously was UPM and 1st AD on TNG, and Line Producer/UPM on
Voyager.
Marvin V. Rush, Director of Photography, will continue to capture Star Trek
on film as he has done since the third season of TNG. Working under his
aegis are Camera Operator Douglas Knapp and Chief Lighting Technician
William Peets. Knapp spent several years on Voyager, and Peets has worked on
TNG, DS9 and Voyager.
Multiple Emmy Award-winning visual effects artist Ronald B. Moore will be up
to his old tricks again creating exciting and realistic images of the
future. Moore was Visual Effects Supervisor for TNG and Voyager as well as
"Star Trek Generations."
Louise Dorton moves over from Voyager as Art Director. Dorton worked her way
up to that position after starting the first season of Voyager as Set
Designer.
Helping the actors look their best on camera are Suzanne Westmore, Makeup
Artist; Charlotte A. Parker, Hair Stylist; and Carol Kunz, Costume
Supervisor. Westmore will be working for her father-in-law, Michael
Westmore, as she has for the last three years on Voyager (credited as
Suzanne Diaz). Parker, formerly known as Charlotte A. Gravenor, was also on
Voyager for the last five years. Kunz has supervised wardrobe on each Star
Trek show since TNG.
And making all the cast and crew feel safe as they work are the Set Security
guys, Lazard ("L.Z.") Ward and Steve D'errico. They both were on Voyager,
but L.Z. in particular has been keeping an eagle eye on things since the
early days of TNG.
