HoM: Star Trek - Q&A With Star Trek: Picard Production Designer Dave Blass

A CONVERSATION WITH PRODUCTION DESGNER DAVE BLASS

Welcome viewers and listeners to this very special episode of the podcast, our first ever interview episode. Mike and D.K are thrilled to be joined by acclaimed Emmy-nominated production designer Dave Blass. Mr. Blass has an extensive C.V including work on (among other things) The Boys, Constantine, Ghost Rider, Justified, Preacher and, of course, season 2 and 3 of Star Trek: Picard. In our exclusive chat we talk about how he got started in the industry, some of his heroes, his respect and reverence for returning stalwarts of production, his affection for all things Trek and his decision to approach former Trek BTS alum and Star Trek: Online to fill out the amazing fleet we saw in season 2. We talk about what it was like to collaborate on designing a new hero-ship USS Stargazer, the "carpets vs shiny floors" debate, what it was like being on set with bona fide legends during emotional scenes, designing "General Picard's" props and what to expect in season 3 including the possibility of even more new ships and a new but maybe familiarly-named hero ship, which fans will not want to miss hearing about! We also talk about some of the other geeky stuff that he worked on for Marvel, DC, Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg and more. Massive thanks to Mr. Blass for giving us his time and for his stellar work and appreciation of fellow Trek fans. We are supremely grateful and it was a pleasure for us so we hope everyone enjoys watching or listening to this chat as much as we enjoyed being in it. Engage!
