What JJ and all of the tech guys had to work with back then were dinosaurs compared to today. How they did all of those effects that he mentioned, plus chroma-keying (something new for TV at that time) and do it practically real time seems impossible to me. But they did it. A miracle.
Andy DiMartino I think there was a set of interviews recorded for the VHS release's in mid 1980's, then another set for the DVD's in early 1990's which included most of the VHS interviews (except Joel Crothers and Clarice Blackburn) I believe this 1 is from the VHS set mid 80's
They don't make 'em like they used to. Awesome. Bless JJ's heart.
Hi, JJ was my grandfather. Do you have stories of him from those days? Would love to hear what you can share!
Love this interview!

Love U Jake! Always! Greatest TD I would sit with him in the control room while he ran the shhow.

When was this interview done? Is there any other background that could have been shared here on the making of it?
