Person

Mark Forker

Visual effects supervisor — Star Trek Nemesis

American visual effects supervisor at Digital Domain who led the effects work on Star Trek Nemesis in 2002, including its all-digital starship battle.

Mark Forker supervised the visual effects of Star Trek Nemesis for Digital Domain, the company chosen as the film's principal effects house.
By 2002 the starships were entirely computer-generated, and his team built digital versions of the Enterprise-E, the Romulan warbirds and Shinzon's huge Reman warship Scimitar.
The centrepiece of the work is the battle in the Bassen Rift, which ends with the Enterprise ramming the Scimitar head-on, along with the thalaron radiation effects and the opening flight over Romulus.
