We chat with the Emmy Award-winning artist for the release of Titan Books' 'Star Trek: The Art of Neville Page.'
Space.com spoke to Page regarding his distinctive contributions to"Star Trek," his earliest associations with creator Gene Roddenberry's brainchild, and how the franchise helped shape his life and career as this new book saluting his imaginative creations in the final frontier arrives.
"So there's nostalgia for me and it's really fun to be a part of my childhood and contributing to contemporary 'Star Trek' fans as well as new fans, and hopefully not traumatizing them. 'Star Wars' came out in ’77 as we all know and I wanted everything in my life to be 'Star Wars.
"I'd finished 'Avatar' with James Cameron but that was all under a roof drawing pictures at the Howard Hughes stage where the first motion-capture stages were set up. It doesn't feel like a movie set because it's people in mo-cap suits and grey boxes and wire frame shapes of things. Being on J.J.'s 'Star Trek' where it was massive sets was such a thrill. I made it a point of going on every set wherever he was and be available for him.
"Rick Baker was an inspiration before I even knew I wanted to do what I'm doing," says Page."I stumbled upon a Fangoria book at a Chicago garage sale. In it was an image of Rick Baker with one of his sculptures and I think it was Mr. Hyde. When I saw that picture of the clay sculpture it had a profound impact on me in that I had no idea a human being could do something like that.
