Michael Minor
Michael Minor (September 25, 1940 – May 4, 1987) was an illustrator and art director on ''Star Trek: The Original Series'', '' Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' and '' Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan''. Minor, along with Joseph Jennings, Andrew Probert, Douglas Trumbull and Harold Michelson, designed the refit USS ''Enterprise'' for ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture'', based on Matt Jefferies' original USS ''Enterprise'' design for the television series. For a period during the 1970s, Minor worked at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, where he created a lunar panorama for the planetarium based on images from the Apollo missions. When Harve Bennett, a new Paramount television producer, was hired to create a cheaper, better sequel to ''The Motion Picture'', he chose Minor to help shape the art direction. Minor won an Emmy Award nomination for his visual effects work on the acclaimed 1983 mini-series ''The Winds of War''.Newsweek, August 10, 1987, UNITED STATES EDITION SECTION: ...
