00:27.500 --> 00:28.900
The Federation is called the Argo.

00:28.900 --> 00:29.800
It's also

00:29.800 --> 00:31.100
never had a specific name.

00:31.100 --> 00:32.500
We have two ships.

00:32.500 --> 00:32.900
Consider.

00:32.900 --> 00:35.100
The Argo one is the flying shuttle to takes

00:35.100 --> 00:36.600
the our go to the planet.

00:36.600 --> 00:38.500
The second is the truck that it houses.

00:38.500 --> 00:39.100
So

00:39.100 --> 00:39.800
basically, it's like

00:39.800 --> 00:42.600
Argo one in our go to

00:42.600 --> 00:44.200
this kind of a first for

00:44.200 --> 00:46.300
Star Trek have a wheeled vehicle like that.

00:46.300 --> 00:48.000
So

00:48.000 --> 00:49.700
the search for a vehicle was kind of hard

00:49.700 --> 00:52.200
that we could manipulate and work around.

00:52.200 --> 00:53.600
I think the final version

00:53.600 --> 00:54.800
turned out quite nice.

00:54.800 --> 00:56.000
It was

00:56.000 --> 00:57.900
finished the day they feel

00:57.900 --> 00:59.300
And so there are a lot of the little

00:59.300 --> 01:01.800
details that Graphics would do didn't get their chance

01:01.800 --> 01:02.400
to be put on it.

01:02.400 --> 01:03.500
So it's very

01:03.500 --> 01:05.300
clean very Chrome

01:05.300 --> 01:07.700
finished piece

01:07.700 --> 01:09.600
the shuttles kind of a unique

01:09.600 --> 01:12.100
vehicle to because it is a vehicle that not

01:12.100 --> 01:12.800
only does

01:12.800 --> 01:14.800
space travel but interplanetary travel.

01:14.800 --> 01:16.200
So

01:16.200 --> 01:19.000
for the interplanetary travel we have wings that come

01:19.000 --> 01:20.400
out the whole set of wings it come out

01:20.400 --> 01:23.200
for that type of atmospheric

01:23.200 --> 01:24.100
travel sell.

01:24.100 --> 01:25.000
It was a unique

01:25.000 --> 01:25.700
little

01:25.700 --> 01:26.000
device.

01:26.000 --> 01:27.200
We got to come up with and

01:27.200 --> 01:27.500
and

01:27.500 --> 01:28.900
it was first time where we did a shuttle

01:28.900 --> 01:30.500
where the engines are merged with the body as

01:30.500 --> 01:31.800
opposed to being a separate

01:31.800 --> 01:32.100
entity.

01:32.100 --> 01:33.300
For example,

01:33.300 --> 01:36.100
Insurrection shuttle had separate engines like

01:36.100 --> 01:38.200
the original series and the earlier picture.

01:38.200 --> 01:38.700
So

01:38.700 --> 01:39.700
it's kind of a new

01:39.700 --> 01:42.000
architectural departure for

01:42.000 --> 02:20.200
where the shells are going to gods.

02:20.200 --> 02:21.700
Something I would want to do with the Enterprise

02:21.700 --> 02:24.900
when we did the E4 first Contact.

02:24.900 --> 02:26.300
There was such a big list of things to

02:26.300 --> 02:26.600
do.

02:26.600 --> 02:28.600
I did the early basic

02:28.600 --> 02:30.600
designs and sketches on the ship

02:30.600 --> 02:30.900
and Rick.

02:30.900 --> 02:32.700
Sternbach Premiere took in did

02:32.700 --> 02:34.300
blueprints from that fry LM.

02:34.300 --> 02:37.600
He never had the time to put the engines

02:37.600 --> 02:40.600
and the nacelles and the struts on his drawings

02:40.600 --> 02:41.900
and so ilm

02:41.900 --> 02:44.300
put them on and

02:44.300 --> 02:46.000
when the final model is done on film it,

02:46.000 --> 02:46.700
but

02:46.700 --> 02:48.600
perfect but when you got the plans

02:48.600 --> 02:49.800
like front and top

02:49.800 --> 02:52.000
Side view of what the final model looked like

02:52.000 --> 02:53.600
there were a lot of elements in the design

02:53.600 --> 02:55.000
that weren't there

02:55.000 --> 02:56.900
and when they were doing the CG model for

02:56.900 --> 02:58.300
Nemesis,

02:58.300 --> 02:59.400
I want to talk to Peter was kind of

02:59.400 --> 03:00.900
a personal

03:00.900 --> 03:01.100
thing.

03:01.100 --> 03:02.400
I want to do just see it all the

03:02.400 --> 03:04.200
way through it wasn't there's not a lot of

03:04.200 --> 03:05.300
changes but

03:05.300 --> 03:06.300
subtle ones

03:06.300 --> 03:07.200
and

03:07.200 --> 03:08.800
it was curvature of the bottom of the body

03:08.800 --> 03:11.000
the way the saucer tape is into the

03:11.000 --> 03:12.100
hold of the ship

03:12.100 --> 03:13.900
those areas like flat to me and kind of

03:13.900 --> 03:15.600
lost the stream line

03:15.600 --> 03:16.200
of the design.

03:16.200 --> 03:16.800
So

03:16.800 --> 03:18.700
we're going to Jay Barton a digital domain we

03:18.700 --> 03:19.700
put those elements back.

03:19.700 --> 03:20.700
Back in

03:20.700 --> 03:21.600
that were originally

03:21.600 --> 03:23.800
supposed to be there raise the nacelles up a

03:23.800 --> 03:24.900
bit.

03:24.900 --> 03:27.200
We put Armature all across the top for

03:27.200 --> 03:29.800
First Contact all the battle took place forward at

03:29.800 --> 03:30.800
the ship

03:30.800 --> 03:32.500
and Nemesis were attacked from the top.

03:32.500 --> 03:34.100
And so there's very little

03:34.100 --> 03:35.300
defense.

03:35.300 --> 03:37.000
There's very little

03:37.000 --> 03:38.500
guns torpedo launchers at all.

03:38.500 --> 03:40.000
So we re-established

03:40.000 --> 03:41.800
all that on the surface of the

03:41.800 --> 03:42.200
Enterprise.

03:42.200 --> 03:46.000
So no matter where you're attacking the ship from

03:46.000 --> 03:48.400
there's some way to defend itself or

03:48.400 --> 03:53.500
do a counter-attack.

03:53.500 --> 03:53.900
It was

03:53.900 --> 03:56.000
interesting because I had talked to Larry nemecheck who

03:56.000 --> 03:56.500
was

03:56.500 --> 03:57.500
kind of a

03:57.500 --> 03:59.400
editor of the communicator and he

03:59.400 --> 04:01.100
knows a lot of the background history on the

04:01.100 --> 04:01.500
ships.

04:01.500 --> 04:02.400
And so when I was tell him I was

04:02.400 --> 04:03.500
going to do that

04:03.500 --> 04:03.800
he goes.

04:03.800 --> 04:05.500
Oh, I remember in Star Trek 3 though

04:05.500 --> 04:07.800
Klingon warbirds was actually supposed to be Romulan due

04:07.800 --> 04:08.600
to budget and staff.

04:08.600 --> 04:10.800
They've made it Klingon because they are the costumes

04:10.800 --> 04:12.200
and make-up

04:12.200 --> 04:13.700
think I didn't know that it made sense because

04:13.700 --> 04:16.100
I kept thinking, you know Klingons had though

04:16.100 --> 04:16.600
warbird.

04:16.600 --> 04:20.200
So I took that as my first initial

04:20.200 --> 04:22.000
departure that it's going to be

04:22.000 --> 04:22.900
bird-like.

04:22.900 --> 04:23.600
And

04:23.600 --> 04:26.000
I took what Auntie Probert had done

04:26.000 --> 04:28.300
for TNG with the very large double hulled

04:28.300 --> 04:29.600
ship.

04:29.600 --> 04:31.300
I wanted to mix those two, but making a

04:31.300 --> 04:33.800
whole new ship something that didn't look like Andy's

04:33.800 --> 04:35.200
and didn't look like the

04:35.200 --> 04:36.500
Klingon warbird.

04:36.500 --> 04:38.000
And so I went to

04:38.000 --> 04:39.900
kind of Hawk books and Eagle books

04:39.900 --> 04:42.900
pick some some really good angles of birds out

04:42.900 --> 04:45.200
of there and kind of conform to

04:45.200 --> 04:47.500
a very aggressive bird type

04:47.500 --> 04:48.800
ship design.

04:48.800 --> 04:50.600
You'll get a elements of Andy ship which is

04:50.600 --> 04:52.900
the the beak on the front.

04:52.900 --> 04:54.200
Elements of the bird of prey which is the

04:54.200 --> 04:55.200
sweep of the Wings.

04:55.200 --> 04:58.400
And ironically I think

04:58.400 --> 05:01.100
the bird pictures I used were also at neela

05:01.100 --> 05:03.300
used when he did the feather layout on the

05:03.300 --> 05:05.500
bird of prey because after I drew mine

05:05.500 --> 05:07.800
was almost identical the way the feathers broke up

05:07.800 --> 05:10.200
in the panel's, so

05:10.200 --> 05:11.800
I'm going to did that comparison so I could

05:11.800 --> 05:13.200
go back and make the changes.

05:13.200 --> 05:14.200
So it's not

05:14.200 --> 05:15.300
a repeat but

05:15.300 --> 05:17.000
a different pattern of the

05:17.000 --> 05:18.400
feather layout

05:18.400 --> 05:20.900
if you want to call it that and

05:20.900 --> 05:22.900
that's where that inspiration came from the

05:22.900 --> 05:23.600
That are

05:23.600 --> 05:25.300
actually designed before

05:25.300 --> 05:26.000
the Romulan.

05:26.000 --> 05:27.100
But I knew it was going to be

05:27.100 --> 05:28.300
an evil morph

05:28.300 --> 05:28.900
of

05:28.900 --> 05:30.700
what the warbird was going to be.

05:30.700 --> 05:32.100
So I kept the elements in mind that I

05:32.100 --> 05:33.800
was going to use for the Romulan

05:33.800 --> 05:34.800
to make the

05:34.800 --> 05:36.500
the Scimitar ship.

05:36.500 --> 05:37.300
And so

05:37.300 --> 05:37.900
if you

05:37.900 --> 05:40.100
put them up side by side on top view,

05:40.100 --> 05:41.500
they're basically

05:41.500 --> 05:42.600
the same

05:42.600 --> 05:43.200
elements.

05:43.200 --> 05:44.600
They're just spread out in different

05:44.600 --> 05:45.100
arrangements.

05:45.100 --> 05:47.200
So one could morph into the other

05:47.200 --> 05:47.900
kind of like a dr.

05:47.900 --> 05:48.400
Jekyll, mr.

05:48.400 --> 05:49.500
Hyde kind of

05:49.500 --> 05:50.300
transformation.

05:50.300 --> 05:52.100
So

05:52.100 --> 05:52.800
that's kind of where the

05:52.800 --> 06:22.000
the warbird came from

06:22.000 --> 06:28.200
How long until you can fire?

06:28.200 --> 06:31.700
The targeting sequence should take about 7 Minutes Captain

06:31.700 --> 06:34.200
when the targeting arms are fully deployed

06:34.200 --> 06:36.300
Matrix on the bridge will relay the thaler on

06:36.300 --> 06:37.200
radiation

06:37.200 --> 06:39.900
the firing points at their tips.

06:39.900 --> 06:41.900
No, one on the Enterprise Will Survive.
