Twilight Zone

[hebneh]

Reading the comments, I now understand the video glitches and less-than-perfect appearance of this video...it was done in the early '80s! Which is the dark ages for editing, especially amateur video work. Seen in that light, it's terrific!

[Giverney13]

Great job!!! I think you ought to title it also as Twilight Zone Mashup-it is tight work friend! So many are attached to computers, ipods, games, blackberry, cells, and few can act without a machine assisting-I prefer without the machine-as the real talent can be shown-not the props and crutches...Take care

[Bluesdirections]

Three members of Toto. Figures. They were great session musos. Brilliant guitar solo by Jay Graydon.

[MrTonedeff]

@Bluesdirections yes you are right on the money about graydon.his style is cool and he influenced steve lukather and is godfather to one of lukes kids! i also like jay on the christopher cross debut on the tracks say you,ll be mine and never be the same!with david foster he formed the supergroup Airplay ,they did the track nothin you can do about it that MAN HAT TRANS did on the Extensions album!

Another gem from the past . . . and an excellent, well put together video!!

[dandman1575]

Great job putting this together, way back in 83! I luvd it, can't get enough of it. Always loved MT song, and now with your montage of TZ clips makes it all that much better. A great fit, thanks!

[MrSuzanne88]

i was born in '47. i remember this show. heartdeep thanks to you for this video. i love MT/ this song /this video.Many timely references to NOW in Serling's series. WOW, thank you for doing this video!

[HessNineteen67]

I just wanna thank everyone for their comments. I really never thought this video would get the hits it's getting from the places it's getting. It's pretty cool to see this thing taking off.

[SimplyPeak]

You're welcome! You really deserve it!. I wonder if you could somehow get this set up on one of the many Original TZ marathons they have on TV it would sure make a great intro to the marathons- you may want to check out how you can do that legally. This really needs to get on some channel like Syfy, Chiller or some channel that specializes in oldies. So many people my age group would really GO for it- IT'S COOL AND CLEVER!

[SimplyPeak]

This is the BEST and my all time favorite of ALL the YouTube videos I've watched so far! Love this song! Love Manhattan Transfer! Love the original Twilight Zone series! Seeing young Billy Mumy is a GREAT touch- he was such a sweetheart for me as a girl, even though he was 2 years older than myself... LONG live my birthyear 1956-nothing beats the past. We had the best! I say, EXCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES! *smiles*

[JohnnySwitchblade]

This is like their one song that doesn't sound like a 40s or 50s soap commercial...This song is awesome!

[antblue363]

Best editing I ever saw .

[HessNineteen67]

Thanks. We did win some awards for it.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

Forgive me, I'm but 17 (though my music and films tastes say otherwise)...

How did one go about editing a videotape with music and all that pizazz back in the early 80s?

[HessNineteen67]

It wasn't that hard actually. If you have used any computer based editors we were doing the same thing, assemble editing, but with two industrial 1/2 inch machines and a time code controller. You lay a video blue control track on the master tape, then lay your audio track over that, then you just assemble your video over those two to the music. It's pretty simple. the hardest part was getting all the footage together to be honest.

[antblue363]

Excellant!

[antblue363]

one of my fav episoded deaf lady and aliens

[jht1414]

So you did this without even using a computer! That's awesome!!!!!!!

[HessNineteen67]

This was done in 1984, so, yeah. No computers.

[Teflon65]

Very good.  Is that the Manhattan Transfer doing the song? It's very good, and the video gets better, as it goes along.

[HessNineteen67]

That is the Manhattan Transfer. The song is called "Twilight Zone/Twilght Tone" and is on iTunes. Thanks for the comment!

[orizaba6363]

[HessNineteen67]

Manhattan Transfer does the song. It's official title is "Twilght Zone/Twilight Tone" and it is available on iTunes. Thanks for the great comment!
