Doug Drexler joins the art department

Longtime Star Trek art department alumnus Doug Drexler (who also worked on Battlestar Galactica) has made his way over to the art department at The Orville. He took to Facebook to journal his thoughts on getting back into the world of producing a TV show and moving on from working with the legendary Emmy winning VFX supervisor (and Trek alumnus) Gary Hutzel, who sadly passed away suddenly in 2016.

One of Doug’s first little fun projects was to make this “Orville Tech” bulletin with writer Andre Bormanis.
