#LevarBurton took us all #BehindTheScenes of #StarTrekTheNextGeneration on the #PBS #ChildrensTV show, #ReadingRainbow.
If you've ever wondered how they did those #SpecialEffects before #CGI came along, this shows you how it was done-- using everything from disposable razors to glitter in a cup of water.π€―π²

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xStlCx_TmMk
Seeing this very segment as a kid is the reason I grew up obsessed with audio sampling in general and that synthesizer in particular, and it's also how, around 1200 miles away, @gilahava704 learned what an onomatopoeia is.

Last night @gilahava704 and I were fortunate enough to attend a screening of the #ReadingRainbow documentary "Butterfly in the Sky," which was fantastic. If you grew up with that show like we did, definitely see this film if and when you can.
We also had the great pleasure of meeting Steve Horelick, composer and music director for the series, whose work on the show is something else for which Gila and I share a particular fascination. He was entirely gracious, and can be found at https://stevehmusic.com .

I enjoyed all the episodes so far but my favorite is his reading of "The Paper Menagerie" by Ken Liu.
