In a new video posted to the official Star Trek site, prop master Jeff Lombardi described how he brought back together Data’s far-flung body parts—or, more precisely, the body parts of B-4, a prototype android that Data uploaded all of his memories into before his death. “We’re the people who manage and build the materials that an actor uses, physically, on the set,” Lombardi says in the video, describing a prop master’s role on set, which nearly as often involves finding items the actor may never touch....

Our iPhones, Canons and Nikons take much better pictures than any Leica does....
