Chekov's Enterprise: A Personal Journal of the Making of Star Trek--The Motion Picture
by Walter KoenigWalter Koenig's (Classic Star Trek's Pavel Chekov) journal of the making of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture. His moods swing wildly between elation at reuniting with the original Star Trek cast to bleak insecurity that his character is being overlooked, and that the movie won't be the hit the fans expect. Here is a look behind the scenes of filming a movie detailing highly technical explanations of camera set ups, scene composition and a multitude of script rewrites to accommodate the special effects, the actor's expectations, and time allotted for the completed movie. There are anecdotes illuminating the tensions and camaraderie between actors and technicians and the big brass. During the four months of filming the actors mingle, gossip, and fill long periods of time between shots where they are needed. When they are in front of the cameras they work feverishly shooting take after take, often under difficult, exhausting conditions. there is a wealth of information here about the trades of actors, directors, and many types of technicians who must cooperate to create a movie. Sometimes the actors are gregarious and the atmosphere electric with optimism. Sometimes they are lonely, self-absorbed and anxious in their dressing rooms or in the midst of frenetic activity. Through it all, Mr. Koenig's very personable humor, honesty, fair mindedness and sharp observation make this a fascinating book.
