CD William Lebeda and the team at Picturemill in LA, whose Starfleet Academy titles we featured in Stash 176, enter full-on world-building mode to open season four of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+.
William Lebeda: We always begin every season with “Where do we want to go and what do we want to see?” Sometimes those answers are easy. Sometimes it takes imagination.
Those worlds come from storyboard sketches, fun discussions, 3D pre-visualization, galactic references, and design iterations with showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers. The sequence has continued to be an inviting and iconic introduction with customized and unique worlds for each season.
