I'd forgotten where I first ran across the video on the Turbo Encabulator; maybe it was here but I've been looking for it and ran across it again the other day. Neighbor across the street in Havasu worked as an engineer for McDonnell Douglas and later, Rockwell. We get together a couple times a month and I'm going to spring this on him and give him a hard time. The story I've heard on the video guy is that he was a paid actor that RI used to do technical videos like this one. The guy had no idea what the typical real films were really about so this one was a sound and lighting test and he wrote the script for it and recorded it. I think he wanted to give the real engineers a taste of their own medicine as to what it was like to hear gibberish and he gave it back to them in spades. |
