ORBITAL BROADCAST-1 is a new, original Sci-Fi TV pilot, currently undergoing production. My role has been to build the OB-1 model for filming the pilot episode. This model is approximately 2 feet in diameter by 4 feet tall. Star Trek artist, Andrew Probert (Enterprise-D, STTMP, STII Artist) designed OB-1, and provided me with the artwork to create the model. This page will give an 'inside' look to the creation of the model and a behind the scenes look at filming the pilot. NEW ADDITION: Updates from latest production filming, see link below.

First Look at OB-1 Production

"Behind the Scenes":

UPDATE: 5/18/02 - New sets have been built, and guests have been interviewed. We had George Takei (Sulu), Walter Koenig (Chekov) and Tim Russ (Tuvok) on the set, and they had lots of fun. The new sets are fantastic. See the link below for some pictures. There is an all new Newsroom, Corridor, Rec Room and Transporter. My backlight consoles came out awesome. The Special Window on the set looks just like the model.
