Deranged Rhino Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Another great one gone. RIP Mr. Nimoy. I had the honor of working with him and he always went above and beyond, not only in his preparation but in how he treated everyone on set. One of my fondest memories, of all my memories, was watching him lay down the voice over for the end of the Trek reboot. It was his last day of shooting, super late (1 or 2am on a day that had a call time of 6am), they wrapped his last scene and gave him a parting gift (it's like a game show when you wrap a movie, people cheer and give you prizes). He was getting ready to go home after being Spock one more time on film, it had been a long day for a young man let alone a man in his late 70s. Then one of the producers asked him if he'd mind recording the voice over now rather than coming back in later, you know the one: "Space, the final frontier..." He of course agreed (as he always did on set) and the director, sound guy, one producer and I all crammed into a tiny room on the Paramount lot with just a boom and Spock. It wasn't even a sound booth, it was inside the Sherry Lansing theater (a strange venue to record VO but it was right next to the sound stage) They asked him if he needed a script to remember the words, he chuckled and said, "I think I know it". Then, off the top of his head, he delivers a perfect reading of it in one take -- even changing the gender restriction in the famous stanza without being prompted. That take remains in the film today. To Nimoy and his family. He'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
