(written from a Production point of view)
Ante Dekovic (born 16 December 1981; age 42) is a digital effects artist, who worked as visual effects (VFX) supervisor on Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Short Treks, and Star Trek: Picard.
Along with his former Pixomondo colleague Jason Michael Zimmerman, Dekovic is essentially fulfilling the exact same roles for Kurtzman-era Star Trek as their illustrious predecessors Dan Curry and Ronald B. Moore had respectively fulfilled for Berman-era Star Trek, especially when that era's veteran VFX staffer David Takemura did not return to the Star Trek franchise after Discovery's first season. He was nominated for an Emmy in 2019 for Outstanding Visual Effects for his work on "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2", [1] and in 2021 for his work on "Su'Kal", the latter one he won. [2] This was accompanied by two similar 2018 and 2021 VES Award nominations for DIS: "The Vulcan Hello", "Su'Kal", and further complemented by two similar 2018 and 2021 VES Award nominations for DIS: "The Vulcan Hello", "Su'Kal". All these he shared with his wife Aleksandra Kochoska, who served Kurtzman-era Star Trek as VFX producer, and Zimmerman, among others.
He also appeared in an uncredited role as Kroad in the Star Trek: Discovery second season episodes "Such Sweet Sorrow" and "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2".
