Photo Cr: Michael Gibson/Paramount+Bleeding Cool: How did you get involved with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?Chris Fisher, who was the cinematographer for 'Star Trek: Discovery' and a lot of season one for 'Strange New Worlds.
'Strange New Worlds' thrives on the freedom to take each episode individually from the genre and tone which characters it's following. That's what attracted me to this collaboration and what is being able to do some great work that the audience is responding to because we didn't feel like we had to keep things completely cohesive. There are a few functions on the ship.
It felt like the right direction to take cinematography and live-action capture instead of going deeper into the green screen realm where nobody can see what's happening, especially the actors who had a hard time with that. We're all immersed in it. There is even an anecdote wherein one of the episodes, we were taking a break because we have masks, and we must take a fast break.
The first season was also rife with a lot of COVID complications, so the schedule was getting a bit undone. By the time season two hit, thankfully, a lot of these kinks had been worked out, and I was able to benefit from the R&D and go right into the creative.
That might be a little premature to talk about, but I know that I guess there was talk about season three, and with the WGA strike ongoing right now. Was there any talk about as far as the direction it was going to go or if you're going to be involved at all?
