Suddenly, it felt like a tropical world, but was utterly different than what we've seen." ( Star Trek Magazine issue 172, p. 67) Chambliss deemed the result "beautiful." Concept images showing extensive views of the planet, featuring the natural red materials, were made available. In flipping some of the other tones around, they became this mossy golden color. Said Chambliss, " I took a photograph of timber bamboo, a beautiful jungle of it, and played with it in Photoshop and turned it really deep ruby red." He further recalled, " I just started with an assistant messing around in Photoshop, messing around with bamboo forests and inverting the colors so that they become this lush ruby red. Scott Chambliss experimented with the idea of using the color via digital artwork. Let all the vegetation be red.' That was inspired by one of my favorite plants I see in Hawaii, which is a kind of bamboo." ( Star Trek Magazine issue 172, p. 67) This impetus was lipstick bamboo, portions of whose trunks are typically magenta.Ĭonceptual artwork featuring the red vegetation then started to be created. I thought, 'Let's flip that and go red, red, red, red. The one thing that I immediately didn't want to do was go to some place that looked like a great vacation spot and shoot this."

Despite Spock's demands to leave him while the device detonated so as to avoid breaking the Prime Directive any further, Kirk opted to lift the Enterprise out of the sea and fly to the volcano to get in range. Meanwhile, Sulu and Uhura rappelled Spock in an environmental suit down into the volcano's magma chamber from a shuttlecraft to stop the eruption with a cold fusion device.įrom the Enterprise's bridge, Kirk, McCoy, Uhura, and Sulu learned they would not be able to beam Spock out of the magma chamber due to interference from the volcano. McCoy appeared with a quadruped to ride, but Kirk accidentally stunned it, forcing both of them to flee on foot and dive into the sea. To avoid revealing themselves to the natives, a disguised Kirk entered the Nibiran settlement and stole their sacred scroll, drawing them into a chase.
