His work on Star Trek: The Motion Picture is still the basis for the “look” of that universe, even 40+ years later.

I wonder if his 2001 documentary is at a point that someone else can finish for him.

Such sad and shocking news at his passing. Those wonderful images dazzled us for more than 40 years and his legacy will always be treasured by a lot of us.
Condolences to his family and friends. RIP.

Man, losing someone like Trumbull is so rough. A true master and visionary in what is slowly becoming a lost art.

Rest in Peace.
