Saw this behind the scenes news piece on Space Ghost and it is incredible that it was entirely done using analog tech and nothing digital. The idea of reusing 30 year old animation in this context was a first too. They basically created a whole new animation process from scratch for the show. - ThreadSky

My favorite detail is the editor wearing the ill-fitting sports coat that probabjy belonged to someone else bc of course video editors don't need to dress in suits for their day to day work

You are so right that is an amazing catch.

I want to go to sleep under that console, but only because as a kid my dad worked overnight at a console like that and I would sleep under it.

Opening with a Zappa reference. Very fitting.

Here's a product demo for the ACE editor that they're using in that clip:

It was basically a miracle of corner cutting.

Every surreal minute a gift.

Genius.

I watched so much SGC2C tonight. This is such a good reminder of how bananas this was at the start.

Ok I will shamelessly plug my animated stuff now

Also notice the editor posted the video on YouTube! Tom is a good guy, talked a little bit here and there about Letterman stuff.

I’ve been scrolling through his channel and he has such a variety of cool videos. I bet he has a ton of great stories working on different projects.

I think 50% of people who worked at Turner have great stories. He actually kept every master tape and put this up https://vimeo.com/90595295

Another amazing person was David Bell (RIP) https://archive.org/details/@mrdbdigital he had so many archives, literally dumpster dived to save all the old music they used!

also by they I mean CNN. Only reason we have the *Specific Music CNN Made For OJ Simpson* is Bell.

Anyways, I once heard from another Turner employee that Ted Turner at the DNC once wanted to shake a guys hand but they were between a chain fence, he got hedge clippers and cut a hole in it to shake.

I’ve never really felt I had a super complete picture of Ted so that is cool to learn about him! I greatly appreciate archiving as well so huge respect to those guys for keeping things that would otherwise probably be lost to time.
