I took a quick look at the listing of special features on the 4 seasons of Enterprise on The Digital Bits website and didn't see one on the Production Design of the NX-01. I only saw this on at Memory-alpha: I've seen the text commentary on Regeneration Episode #049 by the Okudas that mention the computer displays. Is there a featurette that deals with the production design/art direction of the NX-01 somewhat and how it was designed as pre- NCC-1701 technology? Which season has it so I can get it form Netflix?
Interesting one. John Eaves did both designs for Defiant and Enterprise NX-01, as far as I'm aware. Herman Zimmerman the interior set design. If anything, I imagine there should be something on Season 1 Disc 7. Why they decided on the 22nd Century and it's look. Behind the scenes shots of the set being assembled there as I recall. This is actually the kind of thing Rod Roddenberry's new "treasure trove of material" project will likely be covering. I can only speculate, since nobody seems willing to impart any info about it.
Zimmerman was clearly talking about the interior set design, including the similarities of the Defiant and NX-01 bridges, not the exteriors of the ships.
Rod Roddenberry project I do not know anything about this project. Could you point me to a link or two? Title of the project for me to do some Google searching or memory-alpha? EDIT: found it I think: his much-anticipated Star Trek Documentary, “Trek Nation”. http://www.roddenberry.com/corporatestories/index/detail?id=12
Design of NX-01? Thanks. this details the exterior well A Close Look at Enterprise NX-01 with first-hand information by Doug Drexler http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/nx01.htm this too: Interview: Designer Doug Drexler Talks Illustrating ENTERPRISE and Responds to NX-01 Criticism 2 April 2002 http://www.trekweb.com/stories.php?aid=reX8HR9D2y9iA I was more interested in the interior production design though.
Bother. I should've known that. What with the small clue, "Drexler", bottom right of my current wallpaper and all... Minus one point, both in my fandom and IQ level.
Re: Rod Roddenberry project Nope. Not that one. Try this: http://trekmovie.com/2009/05/20/rod...en-star-trek-behind-scenes-footage-interview/
It may be on this: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Special Collector’s Edition) (2003) The Star Trek Universe featurettes “Herman Zimmerman: A Tribute” 19 minutes I haven't seen it and since is on a feature film disc I don't know if it goes into much detail of Enterprise interior designs. I put it on my Netflix Que. Has anyone seen it and can mention how much about ENT is deals with?
