The make-up department was in the end comprised of many staffers, befriended to Neill, he had brought along, including Rick Stratton, Ve Neill, and Mark Siegel. Neill recalled the first day he worked in the makeup department on the Paramount back lot, "One night working late my light at the table was blocked by a tall Shadow.

Being a Star Trek fan, Neill was thrilled to be allowed to work on the first Star Trek movie. He has also worked on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country for Richard Snell as a sculptor and prosthetic make of numerous Klingon forehead pieces, though he has not been officially credited for the production (yet being given credit in Variety along with the rest of Richard's makeup crew). Additionally he worked on the Star Trek: The Next Generation pilot episode, "Encounter at Farpoint" . Neill has also worked on Laser Blast (1978), GhostBusters (1984), Fright Night (1985), and many other sci-fi and horror films, and is currently working as a visual effects artist in CGI VFX, as well as producing his own Star Trek spin off, Star Trek Sirius.
