Scott Farrar worked on Star Trek as an effects cameraman at Industrial Light and Magic during the 1980s, photographing starship miniatures for The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock.
He returned as visual effects supervisor on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country in 1991. His unit created the explosion of the moon Praxis and its expanding shock wave, the computer-generated globules of Klingon blood floating in zero gravity, Martia's shape-changing and the final battle over Khitomer.
The film was nominated for an Academy Award for its sound effects editing and make-up.
