24" x 36" COLOR CANVAS PRINT OF ORIGINAL STAR TREK PRODUCTION MODEL ENTERPRISE

Description

I’ve run across many views over the years of the original Big E from Star Trek The Original Series but this photo remains my absolute favorite in quality, color and clarity.
This photo of the original 11-foot production model Enterprise as seen in the original Star Trek television series was made by Linwood Dunn. Dunn worked for Desilu Productions, founded by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, and their TV production required the occasional use of optical effects, especially for increasingly elaborate title sequences. Dunn's Film Effects of Hollywood was one of several optical houses that supplied them. From 1965, Dunn became one of four optical houses that supplied visual effects for the company's (later Paramount) Star Trek TV series. It was mostly Dunn who photographed the 11-foot large Starship Enterprise model designed by series creator Gene Roddenberry and Matt Jefferies and built by Dick Datin, Mel Keys, Vernon Sion, and Volmer Jensen at Production Model Shop in Burbank, California. Dunn also generated footage that could be used by the three other optical houses involved with Star Trek—the Howard Anderson Company, Westheimer Company, and Van Der Veer Photo Effects—all necessary due to the large number of effects shots and tight weekly production schedule. Dunn continued to work on the series until its cancellation in 1969.
