Working with construction was one of the funnest, coolest and most satisfying experiences of my widely varied life in Hollywood. Our <em>Star Trek<\/em> machine was well oiled, and in its veins flowed trust, affection, and admiration. I don&#8217;t believe that I have ever worked on another show where cooperation between departments was so powerful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During construction of the NX sets I kept a video record, and this stuff&#8217;ll knock your socks off. The first installment makes maximum montage of the construction of the NX warp core and engineering department. Hey you know it, and I know it: A cool engineering department is central to a starship, and we were especially proud of this one. It&#8217;s a remarkable document of a very ambitious <em>Star Trek<\/em> set, and baby you are there!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/99146421\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/99146421\">NX Engineering and The Marathon Mill<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user19942339\">Doug Drexler<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new video uploaded to Vimeo by Doug Drexler shows construction work on the NX-01&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[2705,7442,7445],"class_list":["post-34925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-drexler","tag-marathon-mill","tag-nx-01-construction"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast &amp; Crew","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34925"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34934,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34925\/revisions\/34934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
