WE DO CHALLENGE ourselves,” executive producer Michelle Paradise smiles when asked how it’s possible to raise the stakes on Star Trek: Discovery. “We want every year to be the best. We want every season to be the best season of the show and we want every year to push the boundaries and be bigger and better than before.”
Plunged almost 1,000 years into the future of 3188, the crew of Discovery found what was left of the Federation and solved the mystery of the Burn while adapting to new technologies. This season those changes have been happening off-screen too.
“We have the AR wall, they use it on The Mandalorian,” Paradise explains. “It’s this incredible 270-degree screen. There’s a stage where we just have that. The technology is unbelievable. As of season four, we have the ability, of course, to go on location or to build practical sets, but we also have this new technology that allows us to build a virtual set.
“What’s really cool about it is it can get very detailed and there’s parallax, so when the camera moves this way, the background moves with the camera just as it would on a regular set, but you can get so much more detail.”
