Star Trek Voyager & Next Generation Special Effects Pyro Technician Log Book - What is a "Star Trek" movie or TV series, or basically any action Sci-Fi without the preverbal explosions, fires, sparks and smoke on board the ships, in battle, in space, on a foreign planet, or wherever fire, smoke, sparks and explosions are needed? What's amazing is that after literally tens of thousands of such special effects, there have been so very few injuries... or worse. That is because every single pyro effect is specially crafted by highly trained and licensed craftsmen, who adhere to hyper-scrupulous regulations. Before any effect can even be rigged, it is carefully planned out on paper, with special forms, showing materials to be used, detailed activities, and carefully drawn multi-colored diagrams. These plans have to be approved before they can even be built or tested. This is the notebook of legendary Special Effects pyro technician Mark Stimson, who worked for years on many of the classic Sci-Fi series, including "Star Trek: Voyager", and "Star Trek: The Next Generation". This is his complete fully documented notebook continuing over 200 carefully worked out special effects for these two classic series. These are his original hand drawn and written plans for virtually every pyro explosion effect for over five years on both series. They include series information, scenes, effects, descriptions and carefully drawn out drawings and diagrams showing the hundreds of never-before-seen secrets of how these pyro effects are achieve! They also include notes from such legendary effects wizards as Richard Brownfield ("Voyager", "TNG"), Thomas Mertz ("Beetlejuice"/"Lethal Weapon"), John Peyser ("Planet of the Apes"-2001/ "Battlestar Galatica"), and Grant Burdette ("Waterworld"). This is not a book, but rather Stimson's personal collection. Along with this massive collection of special effects secrets are notes and the special actual licenses needed to utilize powerful explosives and effects devices. A rare amazing one-of-a-kind collectable!
