Because of budgetary concerns , " Faces " was produced near the end of the first season . It was originally going to be set in a jungle , but the location was changed to caves after director Winrich Kolbe calculated that the former idea would exceed the episode 's budget . " Faces " was the fourth episode of the series Kolbe directed , and he said that everything ran smoothly despite his lack of familiarity with the story arcs and characters . The sets for the Vidiian mines were constructed on Paramount Stage 18 . Materials used to create security consoles in the Vidiian laboratories were previously used for the construction of Klingon starships . The prosthetics and make-up for the Vidiians were handled by make-up supervisor Michael Westmore . The episode ( with the rest of the first season ) earned a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Makeup for a Series for the 47th Primetime Emmy Awards , but lost to '' Star Trek : Deep Space Nine ''
