00:00:12.303 --> 00:00:13.471
[Director] Cut.

2
00:00:13.471 --> 00:00:15.932
The storybook episode was like

3
00:00:15.932 --> 00:00:20.103
a giant, highly-produced,
adult version

4
00:00:20.103 --> 00:00:21.730
of a game of dress-ups.

5
00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:24.107
We had a blast turning the ship

6
00:00:24.107 --> 00:00:26.109
into just a fairytale.

7
00:00:26.109 --> 00:00:27.736
It was really fun for all of us

8
00:00:27.736 --> 00:00:31.114
to play other versions of our characters.

9
00:00:31.114 --> 00:00:32.741
And, you know, it's like
we're at a costume ball

10
00:00:32.741 --> 00:00:33.867
and the set looks amazing.

11
00:00:33.867 --> 00:00:35.994
They do such amazing work here.

12
00:00:35.994 --> 00:00:38.955
When I walked through
the sets, it was just...

13
00:00:38.955 --> 00:00:39.873
I was in a different place,

14
00:00:39.873 --> 00:00:41.041
I was in a different world,

15
00:00:41.041 --> 00:00:43.126
and it definitely carried me.

16
00:00:43.126 --> 00:00:44.878
All hail!

17
00:00:44.878 --> 00:00:45.712
The king!

18
00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:47.297
What the hell?

19
00:00:55.346 --> 00:00:57.807
Is this some kind of a joke, Captain?

20
00:00:57.807 --> 00:00:59.517
If it is jokes you desire,

21
00:00:59.517 --> 00:01:01.311
I could summon the court jester.

22
00:01:01.311 --> 00:01:02.270
Summon the court jest--!

23
00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:03.188
No!

24
00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:06.441
We got this script about how
the Enterprise gets taken

25
00:01:06.441 --> 00:01:12.113
over by an alien entity and
turns it into a fantasy world.

26
00:01:12.113 --> 00:01:14.532
And we all sat around
just shaking our heads

27
00:01:14.532 --> 00:01:17.035
for a while, thinking why--

28
00:01:17.035 --> 00:01:18.203
what's this all about?

29
00:01:18.203 --> 00:01:21.790
Amanda Row, who was the
director of that was great.

30
00:01:21.790 --> 00:01:23.708
She loved the whole fairy tale thing.

31
00:01:23.708 --> 00:01:28.713
And we came up with a way of
bringing the fairy tale world

32
00:01:29.172 --> 00:01:31.633
to the Enterprise in a pretty fulsome way.

33
00:01:31.633 --> 00:01:34.511
So the corridor set behind me was

34
00:01:34.511 --> 00:01:37.222
actually completely turned into a forest,

35
00:01:37.222 --> 00:01:38.389
apart from the floor.

36
00:01:39.307 --> 00:01:44.062
The cargo bay became Queen
Neve's palatial chamber

37
00:01:44.062 --> 00:01:48.316
with huge red banners
and great flaming torches

38
00:01:48.316 --> 00:01:51.444
on stands and massive red carpet.

39
00:01:51.444 --> 00:01:53.988
And so it was completely bonkers.

40
00:01:53.988 --> 00:01:55.615
It was really great fun.

41
00:01:55.615 --> 00:01:56.991
It was very humorous too.

42
00:01:56.991 --> 00:02:01.204
And Bernadette's costumes
for that were spectacular.

43
00:02:01.204 --> 00:02:02.956
So when it all came together,

44
00:02:02.956 --> 00:02:05.125
these were great days
on set, I have to say.

45
00:02:05.125 --> 00:02:07.252
Full-on TOS.

46
00:02:09.003 --> 00:02:11.464
Welcome to my kingdom.

47
00:02:11.464 --> 00:02:14.759
Now, kneel before me.

48
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.718
Yes, of course.

49
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.389
I always wanted to play an evil queen.

50
00:02:19.389 --> 00:02:21.808
I think that there's so much fun in there.

51
00:02:21.808 --> 00:02:25.812
And, of course, the fantasmal
aspects with costumes

52
00:02:25.812 --> 00:02:28.481
and the set and getting to play

53
00:02:28.481 --> 00:02:30.984
in this beautiful,
beautiful gown and my crown,

54
00:02:30.984 --> 00:02:32.235
it was all just like,

55
00:02:32.235 --> 00:02:34.445
I'm even doing her mannerisms right now.

56
00:02:34.445 --> 00:02:36.781
It's like, it was really, really fun.

57
00:02:36.781 --> 00:02:39.075
[Queen Neve laughing]

58
00:02:39.075 --> 00:02:42.579
The storybook fantasy episode
was my favorite episode

59
00:02:42.579 --> 00:02:43.913
by far to design for.

60
00:02:43.913 --> 00:02:46.249
It was like my inner child,

61
00:02:46.249 --> 00:02:48.042
like, kind of bursting out.

62
00:02:48.042 --> 00:02:51.171
Did you think your crimes
would go unpunished, wizard?

63
00:02:51.171 --> 00:02:52.463
I'm not a wizard.

64
00:02:52.463 --> 00:02:54.340
Hemmer gets transformed into a wizard,

65
00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:56.050
which was awesome.

66
00:02:56.050 --> 00:02:58.428
As soon as I saw the character sketch,

67
00:02:58.428 --> 00:03:00.096
I just about squealed.

68
00:03:00.096 --> 00:03:02.390
Hemmer was one of my favorite characters

69
00:03:02.390 --> 00:03:04.809
to design for in this episode.

70
00:03:04.809 --> 00:03:07.604
We wanted to create something
that really looked good

71
00:03:07.604 --> 00:03:12.066
with his prosthetic,
his hair, and this color

72
00:03:12.066 --> 00:03:16.112
and these fabric combinations
just is like so magical.

73
00:03:16.112 --> 00:03:19.657
We 3D-printed this medallion here.

74
00:03:19.657 --> 00:03:22.243
This is like a little macrame collar.

75
00:03:22.243 --> 00:03:24.871
This was all done by Jen in the atelier.

76
00:03:24.871 --> 00:03:28.124
She kind of molded this leather.

77
00:03:28.124 --> 00:03:31.294
So in this graphic, it's a vinyl adhesive.

78
00:03:31.294 --> 00:03:34.380
So it gets cut out in this
beautiful kind of design

79
00:03:34.380 --> 00:03:37.133
and it's heat-pressed on the fabric.

80
00:03:37.133 --> 00:03:39.427
Bruce is such a wonderful actor

81
00:03:39.427 --> 00:03:42.096
and he really loved putting this on.

82
00:03:42.096 --> 00:03:44.265
Release Caster the Wizard at once.

83
00:03:45.391 --> 00:03:47.518
We don't answer to you, false king.

84
00:03:49.062 --> 00:03:52.190
The Queen's guards was
the most complicated

85
00:03:52.190 --> 00:03:54.609
and time-consuming costume we've ever done

86
00:03:54.609 --> 00:03:56.319
on Strange New Worlds.

87
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.905
There's about 150 pieces of leather

88
00:03:58.905 --> 00:04:00.365
that makes up this armor.

89
00:04:00.365 --> 00:04:03.243
Everything's foiled and then broken down.

90
00:04:03.243 --> 00:04:06.579
J.J., our Key Effects Builder,
was responsible for this.

91
00:04:06.579 --> 00:04:08.331
J.J., take us through it.

92
00:04:08.331 --> 00:04:13.002
Each of these finger pieces
of leather were laser cut

93
00:04:13.002 --> 00:04:16.172
and then assembled, and then brought over

94
00:04:16.172 --> 00:04:20.343
to our breakdown team
and painted and foiled.

95
00:04:20.343 --> 00:04:22.512
There was 10 of these outfits made.

96
00:04:22.512 --> 00:04:25.098
We tried to make it as
articulate and comfortable

97
00:04:25.098 --> 00:04:26.140
for the actors as possible

98
00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:27.725
because there are fight scenes involved.

99
00:04:27.725 --> 00:04:29.310
There were several stunts.

100
00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:31.604
And as you can see, this is actually foam,

101
00:04:31.604 --> 00:04:33.106
so it's safe for stunts.

102
00:04:33.106 --> 00:04:37.110
So if there was a
falling-like action moment

103
00:04:37.110 --> 00:04:39.612
that's exactly what this is built for.

104
00:04:41.239 --> 00:04:42.907
Daddy, you made it.

105
00:04:46.077 --> 00:04:48.830
And here we have Anna, who's
our Key Breakdown Artist,

106
00:04:48.830 --> 00:04:52.834
and she ombre’d this magical dress.

107
00:04:52.834 --> 00:04:55.545
And she did all the beautiful
beadwork that we see here.

108
00:04:55.545 --> 00:04:58.715
So Anna's gonna take you through
some of the processes here.

109
00:04:58.715 --> 00:05:02.593
So this is a silk organza
with a plastic weft.

110
00:05:02.593 --> 00:05:05.805
And we did an ombre, double ombre dye

111
00:05:05.805 --> 00:05:08.975
on this, about 21 yards.

112
00:05:08.975 --> 00:05:10.435
It was a massive job.

113
00:05:10.435 --> 00:05:12.895
The beading was quite the labor of love

114
00:05:12.895 --> 00:05:16.649
but it really shows it's nice
to have a very handmade piece.

115
00:05:16.649 --> 00:05:19.777
She said it was the most
magical thing she's ever worn.

116
00:05:19.777 --> 00:05:21.821
She was so like, swept away.

117
00:05:21.821 --> 00:05:22.989
She just loved it.

118
00:05:24.157 --> 00:05:25.325
Remember I told you you could

119
00:05:25.325 --> 00:05:26.826
write your own story someday.

120
00:05:27.827 --> 00:05:29.829
Maybe that someday is now.

121
00:05:29.829 --> 00:05:32.165
And M'Benga is the king

122
00:05:32.165 --> 00:05:34.876
so we wanted to make
something really regal.

123
00:05:34.876 --> 00:05:37.879
We wanted to pay tribute
to his Nigerian roots.

124
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.048
This is some coral down here.

125
00:05:40.048 --> 00:05:43.718
And this beautiful brass
medallion, it's an antique.

126
00:05:43.718 --> 00:05:45.720
And the fabric was another
really cool detail.

127
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.055
Heather, tell us about that.

128
00:05:47.055 --> 00:05:50.058
It's 3D-printed, like
our Starfleet uniforms.

129
00:05:50.058 --> 00:05:53.895
Jen Bowen, our Digital
Graphics Artist made a print

130
00:05:53.895 --> 00:05:56.689
and got it 3D-printed onto the fabric.

131
00:05:58.107 --> 00:06:00.902
And the crowning glory,
this is 3D-printed.

132
00:06:00.902 --> 00:06:05.031
And it was based off a
Nigerian king's crown.

133
00:06:05.031 --> 00:06:06.240
If we couldn't 3D-print,

134
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.786
we couldn't have this level
of detail, that's for sure.

135
00:06:09.786 --> 00:06:11.329
I don't go on and on about costumes

136
00:06:11.329 --> 00:06:12.622
but I kept telling the Costume Designer,

137
00:06:12.622 --> 00:06:14.707
"Oh my God, oh my God!"

138
00:06:14.707 --> 00:06:16.959
Because everybody just looked sensational.

139
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:18.544
You did such a good job.

140
00:06:18.544 --> 00:06:19.379
Did you have fun?

141
00:06:20.254 --> 00:06:21.130
I did.
