Star Trek: Discovery is the most visual-effects-intensive entry in the entire Star Trek franchise to date, and as they are about to show us what they’ve done for Season 2 of the series, visual effects company Pixomondo has released a breakdown reel of their digital work for the 2017-2018 season.
From Michael Burnham’s spacewalk at the opening of “The Vulcan Hello,” to the new look for 23rd-century Paris in “Will You Take My Hand?,” the company had a hand in nearly every major VFX sequence the first fifteen episodes of Discovery presented last season — for a total of 1665 VFX shots across the year.
The company is also leading the effects work in Season 2 of Discovery, which kicks off on January 17.
