Star Trek: New Voyages Boldly Goes to New Heights of CG!

The class of March 2007 has just completed 567 shots for the fan-made Star Trek series New Voyages! From never before seen views inside the shuttle bay to navigating through ship wreckage, the students of the DAVE School have delivered an outstanding display of CG elements for the newest episode World Enough and Time.

What is Star Trek: New Voyages you ask? Voyages is a fan-made series that picks up where the original Star Trek TV series left off; an all new 4th season of adventures with Captain Kirk and his familiar Enterprise crew.


Attending the premiere of the project at the next DAVE School graduation will be none other than the original Lieutenant Commander Hikaru Sulu himself, George Takei! Takei stars in World Enough and Time and will be speaking at the event. Also attending will be the Executive Producer James Cawley, who also plays Captain Kirk on the new series.  Marc Scott Zicree who is the Writer/Director and Jon Lim who plays new (young) Sulu will also be at the premiere.

Keep an eye on DAVEschool.com for updates and future viewing of this great episode!

Congratulations to the DAVE School graduating class of March 2007!

CG Becomes Her: Graduate April Warren

Graduate April Warren, who is now working in Hollywood at James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment, probably never expected a class to make a CG version of her when she attended The DAVE School! After only 2 months of training, Block 1 students just completed their newest assignment; make a realistic April Warren head! This was their second organic modeling project.

"Stepping up to model April after our first organic modeling project was a little daunting, but a great challenge,” said Student Derek Smith. “We were lucky that April provided such great reference photos; the work went much more smoothly and (instructor) William Vaughan’s class lesson of working with, and holding to your reference was invaluable."

“Creating a 3D human head is one of the most challenging projects in this industry,” explains Vaughan. “We like to push the students to produce the types of projects that they will be required to do when they step into their first industry gig.
