@19: …And this is why I love the internet. If someone had told me when I was a kid that I’d get to chat with the actual people who actually made actual Star Trek, I wouldn’t have bought it for a second. :D

14: “The weird thing is, both Michelson and Jeffries both died just months after I met them! I dont get it!”

Oh I get it.

If my name is Herman Zimmerman and I see you coming, I’m running the other way.

#15 – Thanks. I -think- we illustrators had a bit of a hand in the process. :)

I was wondering about that myself.

I love your work on Star Trek

I had the honor of meeting Matt Jeffries several years ago at a convention. He was hovering over the infamous bridge model, made out of cardboard or something, along with the other sets. Me being a teen, and not ever seeing any documentary with him on it, began to strike up the conversation. It wasnt until half way through that I asked his name. Boy what a surprise! He was a nice man, and he and I also talked about the newer designs, he of course liked the ‘E’.
Then in 2004 or so, the Egyptian theater was showing Star Trek The Motion Picture, and Harold Michelson was there! He was a nice man too. They were filming that day, and that is probably what they will be showing. Michelson, did a presentation on TMP.
The weird thing is, both Michelson and Jeffries both died just months after I met them! I dont get it!

It’s a shame Matt Jefferies can’t be there to enjoy the honor…

Wonder if they considered inviting Richard James, our production designer on TNG and Voyager for 13 out of the 14 years those two shows were on. Sounds like they’re concentrating more on the feature films.

Nice to see this kind of recognition for the ones responsible for how our beloved make-believe universe looks.
