K so I helped build that transporter room. And I helped build the one we built inside it because this one didn’t look star-trek enough. Look closely at the Discovery’s transporter room.

Also fun story: when I was working on this (with hundreds of others) one job that took forever was the rectangular black tiles that make up the back wall. I spent days, I think it was close to 1500 of them, plywood laminated to some sort of firm sound foam, run through the table saw for each of the beveled edges… Carefully mounted to this bracket thing that the welding guys must have built. It was one of the earliest sets they wanted done, and they ended up using it for some early promo pictures of our hero…

One of the earliest released shots of Michael were in the transporter room, and dead centre behind her on the wall of a hundred tiles, is one super crooked tile. I can’t find the pic right now, but it’s obvious… I don’t know how nobody saw it during the shoot, or at least in post…

I facepalmed so hard. All our hard work and we looked like we hired a toddler last minute.
