Mike Jittlov is a true genius of Cinematography, It makes me sad that he may never get the credit he deserved for pioneering so many aspects of effects. Computers have made us all spoiled and many of us don't appreciate what an ART it was to do trick photography during the the 70s n 80s.

So many people have 'borrowed' from his work without giving credit

Mikes work should be standard view to anyone taking moves, he was and is a TRUE wizzerd of the silver screen, got to love that man in green.

So great to see this again!

I was there the night before Dragon*Con started one year back in the 1990s...when Mike Jittlov, playfully running away from a fan, ran smack into a fully mirrored wall on the ground floor of the Atlanta Hilton. After a quick ride over to the hospital, he was fine, and made all of his scheduled appearances as a guest.

Later, we decided he had forgotten to "phase-shift out" as he ran into the wall. :)

They featured this on the children's show "The Great Space Coaster". I was blown away by the effects of this short film.

My 3 1/2 year old's favorite video. That makes me happy, because I have fond memories of seeing the original short every year at the Atlanta Fantasy Fair.
