[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mojo: [QB] Hey gang To respond to a few questions: - As I'm sure you've all discovered, the Vulcan shot WAS based on TAS. Daren Dochterman (of ST:TMP DE DVD fame) was responsible for that. I'm sure he'll be pleased to know it's appreciated. - People seem to be underwhelmed by the shots from First Contact and Generations. I wonder if this feeling is limited to the hardcore fans, who are aware of the behind-the-scenes production of the calendar. Since you guys know that many of these images are being made from scratch, perhaps it disappoints you to see images that aren't totally new. Hopefully, the 'average' fan will pick it up and just be happy to see a dozen ship shots! Also, come on guys, be fair - for decades the calendars have been nothing but recycled cast shots ad infenitum - we can live with TWO in the SOTL calendar, can't we? At least I had to go and GET hi-res files of these images, which have never been seen in print before! - As far as what my role was exactly, here's how it all worked: First, I asked Pocket Books to choose between two themes - space battles or atmospherics. They chose the latter. Then, I spent a few weeks developing concepts for all the images, for which I created low-res, rough drafts of all the shots to simply get the idea across visually. After they were approved by Paramount, work begun on the final, hi-res shots. A lot of my pals were keen to work on the calendar, so a few scenes were handed out to them for final rendering. All the rest (and the cover) were finalized by me. So, despite the lack of a "Mojo" credit within it's pages, rest assured it is a product of yours truly. In several of the images (like the BOP and Voyager) credit was given to the photographer who provided the background image. As far as next year's calendar goes, I have yet to be commissioned by Pocket Books to proceed. There's lots of time until 2004, however... Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone! In the states, anyway :-0 Mojo [/QB][/QUOTE]
