To find more information about the process of creating and submitting shorts – and however, from the creative decision to review Kirk and Spock to the technology challenges of the creative CG simulation of William Shaatner and Leonard. Nimoy to continue those stories – occurred – recently, a ghost and one of the directors behind the shorts in the Carlos Baena project. Check our wide interviews below, including some scenes that look at Baena, filming the fourth program in the series. Combination (Including a glance of the Sam Whitewer actors in the series of Captain Kirk!)
James Whitbrook, IO9: Tell me about how you are involved in creating files. 765874 project.
Carlos Baena: In early 2022, I started working with OTOY, JULES URBACH and Roddenberry Archive as an independent director, focusing on short content. My journey begins with the first directing. 765874 Short teasers and direct Memory wall With Juls followed by directing Rehabilitation and Combination In the year 2023 and 2024, life action directing may sometimes be different from my normal work in animation, especially when working with sets and filming in places. It helps to have some experiences that direct the previous live shorts.
My familiarity with Pull the star Limited before participating in Otoy, so diving in this world is a great learning process. To make my understanding more deeper, I explore the original series and symbolic movies such as movies and The root of Khan– While I am not knowledgeable in the latest repeat of Pull the starI rely on the crew's in -depth information to help me connect that gap.
Io9: Previously, you had to joking for settings. Combination In the short period that was released after PicardThe third season – in your eyes with this project, are you often heading to tell stories about Kirk and Spock like this?
Baena: Everything comes together naturally. According to the time that we set the Spock and Veridian III that you talk about in the short term. RehabilitationWe haven't talked about what Combination It was about to be until several months later. Juls approached me with the seeds of followers. Rehabilitation He thinks about – Bee Jules, the person who grew up. Pull the star And love it deeply Later, I learned from him about something, William, chatner, talked about the interviews they did to him, which was an additional inspiration. Combination May become
As a director, you use the content and find a way to wear it with your own experiences to make it honest and sincere. In my case, it means drawing from my love for my parents and my emotional travel before they passed. For me, the final gathering between Kirk and Spock must be a personal matter – the last opportunity that they will be together after the experience and adventure for decades. My conversation with Juls became the foundation for movies. The development of the story begins with the bullet document with the emotional board that I created from those discussions. From there, I can launch a few people in our team, such as our artist. Ahmed Nasri, Previs Jonathan Roybal artist and one of our artists, VFX JJ Palomo.
Io9: Combination Out of the interpretation of many viewers from the point of view of what we are witnesses. What makes you close to this story?
Baena: That material creates my method to use the tone of voice, vision and execution of the movie. Some questions in life do not have answers and I often reflect Denis Villeneuve: “The mystery of life is not a problem in solving problems. But it is true to get the experience. “Things that are unknown – both in the world around us and within us – always causing me to be fascinated. I was lost to the challenging movie, I thought and was in my heart after ending. For this reason, I want this movie to have experience. This movie explores humanity, connection and the meaning of being a truly human. That's why I want to leave the area for the audience to bring my own interpretation in a form by traveling and their personal views.
For this reason, we chose carefully to exclude the dubbing conversation from The root of Khan– I often feel that too many conversations can be taken out of the power of the story with images. But I leaned up with the body language, expression, facial expressions and emotions. Inside, creating a short image to be a child of poetry – people who can speak to anyone regardless of language or background.
Io9: 765874 Already have bones using the face scan in the shorts first But you are contacting the two Titan's Pull the star Both in Spock and Kirkrard What is the challenge that you face to achieve the VFX here compared to previous? 765874 shorts?
Baena: Creation Combination Is an ambitious challenge We gather a sincere story, complex performances, new technology and emotional depth for one of Pull the starThe most meaningful rally – Send confidence about how to receive. Sometimes we also ask if the movie is a correct decision or not. One of our greatest technical challenges is the lack of film pipes. Compared to the previous shorts, we are dealing with a lot of complex shots, so we have to think again about the workflow.
Another major change is the way we deal with daily newspapers and previous suggestions. 765874 I managed this shorts through zooming due to the narrower level, but with CombinationThat method cannot be done anymore. I reached out to find the manufacturer of Kristina Wallace and Mark Spatny VFX, about the collection of Syncsketch. The tools created by my former Pixar colleague, Bernhard Haux, when used it successfully in two projects in other studios, I know. That it will be the best way to follow the description and drawers
Our work about the face. VFX is also significant. – From changing the face only three times in Rehabilitation More than three Combination– With my background, as an animator, I focus on avoiding strange valleys, especially in a digital face, feel reliable. But I rely on the knowledge of Jules Urbach about the face of these two characters to make sure that Kirk and the spokes feel like the characters he has grown up for decades. In addition, with the expertise of Jules, Mike Ashton and John Lee, Otoy's face technology beyond expectations and I am unbelievably thankful for dedication.
Io9: You work directly with William Shaatner in bringing Kirk's similarity back here.
Baena: William Shaatner actively involved as a consultant in an important period of production. He is also interested in testing technology in the beginning, seeing their potential and is confident that when dealing with caution and honesty, they can be used in a way that honor the inheritance of Pull the star– For our team, it is important to have a William Shaatner, Susan Bay Nimoy and support of Roddenberry's participation and suggestions and suggestions to ensure that we manage this project with the highest respect.
Io9: De-Agg and Digital Double technology has become a debate topic in the last few years. But the response to the use of these shorts is almost positively in the international level. What do you think make their usage work here? pull Fans?
Baena: The way you approach the project to make a whole difference – when it comes from a place that is honest, honesty and sincerity. It reflects. As mentioned, the participation of important manufacturers, William Shaatner, Susan Bay Nimoy and Rod Roddenberry, and important people that are deeply connected to the world of the world. Pull the starSuch as Robin Curtis, Jules Urbach, Mike and Denise Okuda, Dave Blass, (and) Michael Giacchino among many others, making us confident that we treat materials with respect and care. The audience is naturally capable of detecting when something happens for the wrong reason and they will see it through it. But when the project was built from a place of passion and heart, they would know and respect it.
Io9: Shaatner and Leonard Nimoy are not the only one. Pull the star The legend you play here – Gary Lockwood is back here after not doing for decades. How did this happen? Do you have a plan that he will not return to Gary Mitchell?
Baena: Since the beginning of the character Gary Mitchell, part of the inspiration from Pull the star The cartoon “perfect system” initially, our editorial team tested, introduced his appearance in detail without clearly showing his face. While the development proceeded, we wanted to explore the possibility of full vision. throw-Ra Gary Mitchell from “Where Marre Man had been before.” That made our team approached the Gary Lockwood and when he was on the boat, the VFX team of OTOY was tested. Always appreciate the performance of Lockwood 2001: Space OdisseyI am truly excited that he agreed to join our short film.
Io9: The combination is not only drawing in the original series and movies for pull Influence – You use the commander of the Lieutenant from the third season of Discovery As well. What makes you want to include that link in the series?
Baena: In my conversation with Juls, one of the most reflections about Combination His desire to tell a story that is not only But about this true special friendship integration But about the combination of the world that has been divided for too long That thought was deeply involved. The ability of YOR to move the time and the universe plays an important role in the movie. The sign that he sent to Kirk was not just an object. Meaning behind Spock kept keeping it quietly for his sustainable desire to gather with Kirk, making the final moment more deeper.
IO9: 765874 has been very appreciated. How do you feel to see the answer from the file? Pull the star community? Influence any future plans that you want to continue the project or explore other channels. Pull the star Count the story?
Baena: I don't think any of us have expected to receive this strong response and say that I was surprised to say a little. I am unbelievably thankful for this trip in the past three years and the opportunity that comes with it. I still want to show thanks to the file. Pull the star Community to welcome me Entering this world as an outsider. Now, I have truly create a new friendship that I premiere. My heart is always my goal is to tell human stories first. I understand that Kirk and Spock are deeply meaningful to many people. -Like a family -When it is a good responsibility for us, I know that OTY has more plans for 765874 The project, but with my current obligation, I'm not sure what my participation may be.
