1
00:00:00.186 --> 00:00:01.962
Happy Star Trek Day, everyone.

2
00:00:01.962 --> 00:00:04.439
We're so sorry we cannot
be there with you,

3
00:00:04.439 --> 00:00:06.570
but we are here in Toronto

4
00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:09.219
making our action-packed Season 5

5
00:00:09.219 --> 00:00:11.206
of Star Trek: Discovery.

6
00:00:11.206 --> 00:00:13.558
So, I thought I'd show you around the set

7
00:00:13.558 --> 00:00:16.046
and around the lot where we
make Star Trek: Discovery.

8
00:00:16.046 --> 00:00:17.290
Come on.

9
00:00:17.290 --> 00:00:18.815
I figure I'll go in here to makeup

10
00:00:18.815 --> 00:00:19.761
and see who we can find.

11
00:00:19.761 --> 00:00:20.658
Somebody's bound to be in here.

12
00:00:20.658 --> 00:00:22.241
Oh, look who it is.

13
00:00:23.415 --> 00:00:25.789
Sonequa Martin-Green.

14
00:00:25.789 --> 00:00:26.622
Are you on the Bridge today?

15
00:00:26.622 --> 00:00:28.025
You know, I can't tell y'all no spoilers,

16
00:00:28.025 --> 00:00:29.588
but let me look and see
what I'm doing today.

17
00:00:29.588 --> 00:00:31.091
I'm on the Bridge.

18
00:00:31.091 --> 00:00:32.249
- Oh, it's that part?

19
00:00:32.249 --> 00:00:33.396
- Mhmm. Episode 4.

20
00:00:33.396 --> 00:00:36.257
- It's a lot. It's big.
- Sean Cochran, brilliant,

21
00:00:36.257 --> 00:00:37.357
brilliant writer.

22
00:00:37.357 --> 00:00:38.282
- We love Sean.
- And we've got

23
00:00:38.282 --> 00:00:39.756
the brilliant Lee Rose directing.

24
00:00:39.756 --> 00:00:40.947
- [Wilson] Who gets it done.

25
00:00:40.947 --> 00:00:43.502
Gets it done, okay.

26
00:00:43.502 --> 00:00:45.482
And we are also in--

27
00:00:45.482 --> 00:00:48.133
won't tell you where we
are after the Bridge.

28
00:00:49.233 --> 00:00:50.589
They're getting prepared now.

29
00:00:50.589 --> 00:00:51.578
We just finished blocking.

30
00:00:51.578 --> 00:00:53.601
'Cause we start the day with blocking.

31
00:00:53.601 --> 00:00:55.197
Rehearsal, we read through the lines,

32
00:00:55.197 --> 00:00:57.543
and then we block, and then
we do our crew appreciation.

33
00:00:57.543 --> 00:00:58.376
- Yes.
- Which we did.

34
00:00:58.376 --> 00:00:59.209
- Which is my favorite

35
00:00:59.209 --> 00:01:01.054
- part of the day.
- Yeah, Jay Hill got it today.

36
00:01:01.054 --> 00:01:02.369
We all have equal share here.

37
00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:03.202
- Yes.

38
00:01:03.202 --> 00:01:04.035
We all know that.

39
00:01:04.035 --> 00:01:04.868
There's no ego here.

40
00:01:04.868 --> 00:01:06.037
Everybody's got equal share.

41
00:01:06.037 --> 00:01:06.905
- One department.

42
00:01:06.905 --> 00:01:08.117
- One.

43
00:01:08.117 --> 00:01:08.950
- One department.

44
00:01:08.950 --> 00:01:10.105
- Department, Star Trek: Discovery.

45
00:01:10.105 --> 00:01:10.941
That's right.

46
00:01:10.941 --> 00:01:11.909
That's right.

47
00:01:11.909 --> 00:01:15.821
I guess I probably should
go do Star Trek: Discovery.

48
00:01:15.821 --> 00:01:17.728
- Yes. We love you.

49
00:01:17.728 --> 00:01:19.208
Love you.

50
00:01:19.208 --> 00:01:20.432
Look who I have here

51
00:01:20.432 --> 00:01:23.797
at this area, which we
call Margaritaville.

52
00:01:23.797 --> 00:01:25.920
The lovely Tilly and Adira,

53
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.356
my friends, Mary and Blu.

54
00:01:27.356 --> 00:01:28.189
- Hi.

55
00:01:28.189 --> 00:01:30.969
- And this is Beetle, this is Blu's pup.

56
00:01:30.969 --> 00:01:31.821
My son.

57
00:01:31.821 --> 00:01:33.945
Do you remember who named
this Margaritaville?

58
00:01:33.945 --> 00:01:34.901
- Chelsea.
- Chelsea?

59
00:01:34.901 --> 00:01:35.734
- It was Chelsea.

60
00:01:35.734 --> 00:01:36.881
- Chelsea Oliver on wardrobe,

61
00:01:36.881 --> 00:01:40.602
who's gonna be so mad we
mentioned her by her full name.

62
00:01:40.602 --> 00:01:41.435
- Hi, Chelsea.

63
00:01:41.435 --> 00:01:43.924
- But this is where we kind
of just, we hang out here.

64
00:01:43.924 --> 00:01:45.133
How are you guys doing?

65
00:01:45.133 --> 00:01:45.966
Chillin'.

66
00:01:45.966 --> 00:01:47.099
What are you doing today?

67
00:01:47.965 --> 00:01:48.798
- Well...
- Oh God,

68
00:01:48.798 --> 00:01:49.632
what are we shooting?

69
00:01:51.211 --> 00:01:53.236
Yeah, we really can't tell you, anyway.

70
00:01:53.236 --> 00:01:54.511
If we go down here,

71
00:01:54.511 --> 00:01:58.001
we'll actually find
Michael Burnham's quarters.

72
00:01:58.001 --> 00:02:00.178
And look the doors are
magically open for us.

73
00:02:00.178 --> 00:02:02.885
Every captain and their
quarters are very different.

74
00:02:02.885 --> 00:02:04.245
They all decorate them differently.

75
00:02:04.245 --> 00:02:07.176
I know that Sonequa actually
worked really closely

76
00:02:07.176 --> 00:02:08.760
with production designers here

77
00:02:08.760 --> 00:02:10.057
and she picked a lot of items

78
00:02:10.057 --> 00:02:15.014
that are indicative of
Africa and the diaspora.

79
00:02:15.014 --> 00:02:17.372
You know, you feel like you're
in Michael Burnham's world,

80
00:02:17.372 --> 00:02:21.761
her private sanctuary, if you will.

81
00:02:21.761 --> 00:02:25.181
And you'd never know it, as
gorgeous as it looks right now,

82
00:02:27.198 --> 00:02:29.314
but this is all just make believe.

83
00:02:30.389 --> 00:02:32.814
And there's just plywood and tape

84
00:02:32.814 --> 00:02:35.677
and glue and nails
holding it all together.

85
00:02:36.577 --> 00:02:40.736
A lot of detail has gone into these sets.

86
00:02:40.736 --> 00:02:43.156
Stuff you wouldn't even know was there,

87
00:02:43.156 --> 00:02:44.189
you probably would never see it.

88
00:02:44.189 --> 00:02:45.488
For instance, this plaque here,

89
00:02:45.488 --> 00:02:47.512
which is the plaque for Fed HQ,

90
00:02:47.512 --> 00:02:51.153
which you know is also a
ship, right, on its own.

91
00:02:51.153 --> 00:02:54.072
This is the U.S.S. Federation, PAX Class,

92
00:02:54.072 --> 00:02:58.384
Starfleet Registry: NCC-325002.

93
00:02:58.384 --> 00:03:00.168
But with all of that even,

94
00:03:00.168 --> 00:03:02.872
they've managed to place a quote

95
00:03:02.872 --> 00:03:05.184
from a poem by Sarah
Williams here that says,

96
00:03:05.184 --> 00:03:07.780
"Though my soul may set in darkness

97
00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:10.212
it will rise in perfect light.

98
00:03:10.212 --> 00:03:12.016
I have loved the stars too fondly

99
00:03:12.016 --> 00:03:15.161
to be fearful of the night."

100
00:03:15.161 --> 00:03:18.759
So, we're here in the
Discovery costume department.

101
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.188
There's usually a bunch of
fittings happening here.

102
00:03:20.188 --> 00:03:21.789
This is a fitting room here.

103
00:03:21.789 --> 00:03:24.491
And then we have another one back here.

104
00:03:24.491 --> 00:03:28.803
Oh, and look, it's my TV husband.

105
00:03:28.803 --> 00:03:29.636
- Hello.

106
00:03:31.847 --> 00:03:33.584
Anthony just joined us this season.

107
00:03:33.584 --> 00:03:34.792
Why do we have these fittings?

108
00:03:34.792 --> 00:03:36.432
Why is it important to have these fittings

109
00:03:36.432 --> 00:03:39.500
and what takes place during them?

110
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:40.883
Yeah, so I mean, the
uniform is established

111
00:03:40.883 --> 00:03:42.250
so this fitting's a little bit easier.

112
00:03:42.250 --> 00:03:43.769
So it's more just about
checking out the fit.

113
00:03:43.769 --> 00:03:44.602
I mean, we're looking at different things.

114
00:03:44.602 --> 00:03:45.725
We're looking at the
collar, if it's too big

115
00:03:45.725 --> 00:03:47.144
or things are too tight.

116
00:03:47.144 --> 00:03:49.415
So we're always tweaking
as bodies change up

117
00:03:49.415 --> 00:03:52.084
we're always tweaking
things by millimeters,

118
00:03:52.084 --> 00:03:53.108
- fractions of inches.
- Yes.

119
00:03:53.108 --> 00:03:54.724
- So always going, always looking.

120
00:03:54.724 --> 00:03:57.000
Have you had a favorite
costume you've had to wear?

121
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.511
The pajamas that we wore in
the famous bathroom scene.

122
00:04:00.511 --> 00:04:01.344
- Yes.

123
00:04:01.344 --> 00:04:03.289
- They just felt right for the moment

124
00:04:03.289 --> 00:04:06.395
especially something for a
scene that was so meaningful.

125
00:04:06.395 --> 00:04:07.228
Well, thank you, guys.

126
00:04:07.228 --> 00:04:08.219
Thanks for letting us crash.

127
00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:09.052
- Of course.

128
00:04:09.052 --> 00:04:10.400
I think Sonequa's in here on Stage 7

129
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:11.623
shooting something on the Bridge.

130
00:04:11.623 --> 00:04:12.548
Let's go check it out.

131
00:04:39.357 --> 00:04:43.590
[Director] Here we go, and action.

132
00:04:43.590 --> 00:04:45.218
Thank you so much for joining me today

133
00:04:45.218 --> 00:04:47.198
on my little behind-the-scenes tour

134
00:04:47.198 --> 00:04:48.847
of Star Trek: Discovery.

135
00:04:48.847 --> 00:04:51.053
On behalf of the entire cast and crew,

136
00:04:51.053 --> 00:04:52.640
I can honestly say

137
00:04:52.640 --> 00:04:53.942
we cannot wait for you to see

138
00:04:53.942 --> 00:04:56.558
what we have cooked up
for you for Season 5.

139
00:04:56.558 --> 00:04:59.066
So enjoy the rest of the
Star Trek Day celebrations

140
00:04:59.066 --> 00:05:01.566
and we will see you very soon.
