The piece concludes with a moving tribute to <strong>Leonard Nimoy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>A New Vision \u2014 <strong>J.J. Abrams<\/strong>&#8216; vision was not only to create a<em> Star Trek<\/em> that was a bigger, more action-packed spectacle, but also to make the spectacle feel real. Every aspect of production\u2014from unique locations to the use of classic Hollywood camera tricks\u2014was guided by this overall objective.<\/li>\n<li>Starships \u2014 Abrams and production designer <strong>Scott Chambliss<\/strong> were careful to pay tribute to the design of the original Enterprise, but they also wanted to make it futuristic and cool for a modern audience. This chapter focuses on the unique stories behind the creation of the film\u2019s starships.<\/li>\n<li>Aliens \u2014 Designers <strong>Neville Page<\/strong> and<strong> Joel Harlow<\/strong> talk about the hurdles they faced creating new alien species, recreating the Romulans and Vulcans, and designing the terrifying creatures on Delta Vega for the new <em>Star Trek<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Planets \u2014 From the frozen landscape of Delta Vega to the desert plains of Vulcan, <strong>Scott Chambliss<\/strong> and the art department had a number of radically different planets to create.

Likewise, costume designer <strong>Michael Kaplan<\/strong> talks about how he designed costumes that paid homage to what came before yet were relevant and timeless.<\/li>\n<li>Ben Burtt and the Sounds of<em> Star Trek<\/em> \u2014 When famed sound designer <strong>Ben Burtt<\/strong> was hired to create sounds for the first Star Wars film, he took his inspiration from the original <em>Star Trek<\/em> series.
