Another take on the art of pre­vi­su­al­iza­tion, this time from the lat­est install­ment of the hyper-successful Sci-fi fran­chise: Star Trek. Shifting from real­ity the team cre­ated an entirely new real­ity for the reimag­ined of the space, as the final frontier.

Clyne, a vet­eran con­cept artist for the 2009 Star Trek movie by JJ Abrams talks about his newly revealed Star Trek con­cept art:

“…he mostly had a blank page and that there was no detailed descrip­tion for the ship in the script beyond call­ing it the ‘Battleship Narada’ and that it was from the future and not a tra­di­tional look­ing Romulan ship. JJ Abrams directed Clyne to cre­ate some­thing ‘never seen before’ and said he wanted some­thing ‘threat­en­ing looking’”
