Award-winning visual effects supervisor, Dan Curry’s very first Star Trek credit was actually for the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, for which he designed the titles as graphics artist, his profession by trade. Apart from this movie, he later made a small uncredited contribution to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier with his friend Ronald B. Moore, when they supervised the VFX of a single effects scene, and revisited his graphic design origins by designing the titles for Star Trek Generations. Dan was a senior member of the special and visual effects (VFX) team and served as visual effects supervisor on Star Trek: The Next Generation (from the second half of season one onward), and as visual effects producer on the entire runs of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise.
A veteran of over 100 feature films and television productions, Curry’s career spans over three decades working with some of the industry’s most influential and respected filmmakers. Among other awards, his work has been recognized with seven Emmys (15 nominations) and a VES Award for Best Broadcast Visual Effects. Curry is a past VES Board member and a past Visual Effects Peer Group Governor of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. He is also a member of DGA, ASC, and PGA. Curry is a former Peace Corps Volunteer in Community Development, designing and supervising construction of small dams and bridges in rural Thailand. He subsequently directed a Thai language television series, taught architectural drafting at Khon Kaen University and did freelance art, architecture, and production design for clients ranging from the United States Information Service to the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. Returning to the United States, he taught Fine Arts, Film, and Theater at the university level prior to entering the entertainment industry.
