OK, THIS IS ME IN PARAGONS MOVIE MAKING DAYS
NOW HERE I AM 15 YEARS LATER AS A KLINGON
AND FINALLY NOW 2012
A TALE ABOUT KLINGON
When I was making the Star Trek Paragon movie I decided to make myself up as a Klingon and see if it was realistic. I looked pretty much like the middle photo above. I drove over to my sisters house and knocked on her door and just stood there mute. She did not wait for me to speak but called her husband to the door with baseball bat in hand. Neither she nor he recognized me. Klingons are mean looking dudes. My brother-in-law growled at me “What do you want” as he wiggled the bat. I laughed and said “It’s me, John”. My voice and laugh gave me away. I am the Klingon holding the cube with Kirk inside of it in the movie.
I did all the make-ups for Paragon and will show some behind the scenes photos as I write more articles. Those days were busy times. I worked full time doing carpet stretching Macomb Michigan cities and a lot of installing with my dad in the city of Northville, Michigan. We sub-contracted to the son of a man that my Grandfather had contracted to.

Sounds like you duplicated the same problem Nimoy had with his early ears; the latex tips were painful for him, and actually left scars. The later ones were more comfortable.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
I am new to blogging and internet things come slowly.
I hope that I can figure out how to drop in short video clips of Paragon?
As you saw some of the photos are not too clear. I need to hook up a scanner so I can put the slide versions into the blog instead of trying to photo photos.
Could I copy, if it will copy to the clip board, your my star trek scrapbook intro page and use it to introduce some kind of paragon article. Your site is the site of all sites when it comes to Star Trek stuff!

So, I have to ask about the makeup on the communications officer. In the video clip I’ve seen she looks green, but some of the photos looks brown. What was the actual makeup color and what was she supposed to be/look like?
