Magicam, Inc. was a relatively short-lived company specialized in building miniatures, located at Las Palmas Avenue, Los Angeles, Ca. The company, headed amongst others by vice-president Carey Melcher, was a full subsidiary of Paramount Pictures, who created the company to maintain full control over filming models. The most notable contributions of the company are the models built for Star Trek: Phase II and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, most notably the refit-USS Enterprise. The company was in existence from the mid seventies until 1982, when the shop was closed down and Paramount began using Industrial Light & Magic for the pre-production of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, though, as of 2010, the company is still listed as one of the subsidiaries of current holding company Viacom.[1]
