Well, as of July, 2011 we are finishing visual effects on our sixth episode of STAR TREK: PHASE II. We are also in the early phases of effects for the newest episode, MIND-SIFTER.

So far, our work, from Transporters to matte paintings to set extensions to phaser hits and other visual effects that make STAR TREK unique, has been (or will be) seen in the PHASE II episodes:

Blood & Fire Parts 1 and 2

Kitumba

Enemy: Starfleet

Origins

The Child

Mind-Sifter

Below are a few of the latest shots from the recently released ENEMY: STARFLEET, starting with a special treat for those of us who've loved STAR TREK since The Original Series... Engineering finally gets its Warp Core!







And here is a special SNEAK LOOK at a new matte shot for the upcoming episode ORIGINS, the story that takes us back to young Jim Kirk's days at Starfleet Academy.



My thanks to James Cawley for allowing myself and Gravity Arch Media to post these clips, as well as becoming a member of the STAR TREK family!

Here is a clip from the episode KITUMBA, which wrapped principal photography in June, 2009. Pony Horton, owner of Gravity Arch Media, was on hand as Visual Effects Artist for the show. This clip is a PRELIMINARY test matte shot of Kirk, Uhura, and Chekov beaming-down to the Klingon home world, Qo'nos.






Here are a few of Gravity Arch Media's spots and production clips.




Below is a splash-screen teaser for the website of mystery writer
Stuart M. Kaminsky, famous for his Toby Peters novels, as well as his other sleuth characters: Abe Lieberman, Rostnikov, and Lew Fonesca. He has also published novels featuring Jim Rockford (THE ROCKFORD FILES) and CSI: New York.
This was shot as a form of screen test for Pony Horton's portrayal of the Toby Peters character in an upcoming long-form commercial for Baron Hats. For further information about Toby Peters, Mr. Kaminsky, and his mysteries (he is an Edgar Award winner) visit his website, www.stuartkaminsky.com



Gravity Arch Media has begun production on a documentary focusing on the life and work of Stuart M. Kaminsky, tentatively titled
"STUART KAMINSKY: Man of Mystery"
Below is a funding trailer from the film, currently in production. Scenes and clips of Stuart were shot at the 2008 Pima Writers' Workshop in Tucson, Arizona. Scenes of Peter Kaminsky were shot in Chicago in 2010.





Gravity Arch Media and Pony R. Horton wish to thank Stuart and Enid Kaminsky, and Peter Kaminsky, for their generous time, and Meg Files of Pima Community College for allowing our participation in their event!






Here are a couple of CGI shots created for Baron Hats' latest promotional video. These show a rapid journey over the Earth from the home office in Burbank to the new offices in New York City, and in the second shot, we fly from New York to Paris, France, in a somewhat stylized shot, featuring Baron's new neon sign logo dominating the world.






And here is the final film we produced for Baron in which the above shots appear.
This film was intended for in-store use only.
