'Synthesis' is an optimistic science fiction television series being developed by Trembling Void Studios. In the summer of 2021, that journey took an important step forward, as the team produced and shot a proof-of-concept trailer using a virtual volume at ECUAD in Vancouver, Canada.
As the concept artist on Synthesis, I designed a number of assets for the show — but the most important of these was undoubtedly the hero starship, the 'Starling'. The Starling is where our heroes live and work — after having stolen it from an arms dealer (of course). The design gestated over three years of writers rooms and production meetings. The result IMHO was a real beauty of a ship.
