Security warning! This article contains spoilers For "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Season 3, Episode 9.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" took several big swings in the first three seasons, delivering both the music episode and A. Crossover episode with the animated "Star Trek: Lower decks". The adoption of these wild ideas in life takes over the work of numerous talented consumers, designers, props manufacturers and tandem -working artists, but some sequences have much more than you can expect. In Season 3, Episode 9, "Terrarium", Lieutenant Erika Ortegas (Melissa Pravija) ends trapped on the seemingly abandoned foreign space rock with a Gornne pilot who crashed there and is forced to cooperate with her biggest enemy. The surface of the planet is included with strong wind storms and Ortegas ends shelter with the injured GornEven helping her wounds.

In order to bring Gorn to life and really sell the cruel environment of the planet, the visual effects of "strange new worlds" in combination with top digital effects such as Arval, which projects video as envelopes for sets, with dolls and works for work. These days, the best effects work is often a mix of traditional and digital effects, and "Terrarium" is an exhibition of how "strange new worlds" do the best. Recently I had the opportunity to talk to Zoom's caring and she revealed that while the combination of effects was nicely done, some of the practical effects were a little awkward to deal with the set.

The character noted that "sometimes people think (the shooting with Arval is) all the screens, but there are so many physical elements about it." She explained that the casserple Warren Sherer actually played Gornn, which was a heavy suit with an animator. Although they could only shoot with him in the short period, and sometimes the navigation had to act and react contrary to the Gornne lawsuit, she said she was useful for her performance, explaining:

"I thought it would be really difficult, to act opposite Gorn, because it was very puppet, it was very special effects. I think, it looks amazing. But when I was the opposite, it was so wonderful because it was this giant beer, but what they did with my eyes, with emotions, with everything, it was like I was."

Gornen had previously been brought to life The "weird new worlds" using a puppet, but the details of this equipment are really impressive, and the doll helps to make the character more vivid than the completely digital version can. With Designing Arval The expansive, frightening asteroid background and having a very physical set there to interact with definitely helped her performance, but had an aspect of practical effects that used to have a difficult time with: Fans used to create almost constant dust storms.

Fuck said they used giant fans to simulate a storm on the dusty surface, and it was "so angry with fans all the time because they were constantly running, except when Ortegas talked to the metron." It is ironic because so many of her performance are in quiet moments with Gornn, and at one time she really says she is on Metron (Darius Zade) and fans are silent because the storm has stopped. It was bad enough to say that she was painting her shouting at the real fans, as a joke, but fortunately she succeeded in performing a great performance despite the noisy fake wind. "This was the hardest part, it was acting against anything at times, and then surrounded by giant fans where you can't hear," she said. "And if you can't hear, you also can't hear yourself thinking, which was a new experience for me."

While the episode was a little difficult to record due to the effects, the payment was huge. Star Trek used incredible effects To help tell amazing stories of science fiction since the beginning of the series, and "Terrarium" is a phenomenal example of storytelling and effects working in tandem to Give the fan-loyal character a serious payment to the character's arc.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is available to pass on to Paramount+.
