We have recently delivered effects for two more Voyager episodes and are working on two more currently. I will be happy to detail what effects we did AFTER the pilot airs monday 1/16…I don't want to spoil anything about it. I think Kate is very much up to the task, the stories are becoming quite exceptional already in the early scripts and the acting and effects are worthy of the films IMHO. I'd love feedback after it airs. P.S. Note also that while we did the majority of all CGI shots in the pilot, the CGI graphics for the pilot open was done primarily by Santa Barbara Studios, with additional elements from Amblin and the STV effects team. Also, one short but very important CGI sequence was completed by Vision Arts, and the HUGE amount of non-CGI effects shots was created by the Emmy-award winning Star Trek effects team, supervised by Dan Curry and David Stipes. The pilot was an immense team effort.
