All You Need is Love from The Beatles Anthology

I worked on colorizing that tracking shot in the studio at -3:37 with the balloons. Rob Gridlinger originally set the colors and I "fixed" it as lead designer. Jane Hicks was Art Director and Samantha McGovern also worked on the project. Tim Lauber and Anita Marto worked on design also. I was there at CST on Green Valley circle. This is the shot I worked on that I discuss in "How a Hummingbird saved my Life" on my youtube channel -- Props.

 Jane and Samantha took all the close ups and left me and Rob to do the studio and orchestra shots. Imagine THAT?!?

 This video was an "odd" video format recording of the first trans Atlantic Ocean television broadcast EVER. The Beatles were chosen to perform to commemorate the event. Originally on a 2 inch PAL video format, it had much "ghosting" and "softness" when we worked on it. We colorized it at CST Entertainment on Green Valley Circle in 1991 for the Anthology release. Nobody TODAY realizes what a big deal that broadcast was back in 1967. We take it for granted.
