I wanted to buy some, but they're a bit too expensive.<br /><br />Incidentally, I have the book "The Flintstones: A Modern Stone Age Phenomenon" (1994) and it contains some very early drawings of Fred, Barney, Wilma, and Betty. They look nothing like what they looked like in the pilot. If anyone wants to see them, I'll gladly scan them and put them in my own blog.Steve Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838038674709469537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-28203230031463538332011-07-09T23:20:34.080-07:002011-07-09T23:20:34.080-07:00Steve, they were being auctioned on the internet a...Steve, they were being auctioned on the internet a few months ago (I can't remember where now).

I gather from Mark Evanier the union had something to do with the change.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-86433476009794969192011-06-17T17:29:40.824-07:002011-06-17T17:29:40.824-07:00Whoa!

Perhaps a germ thing.Tom Rueggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509448730816934205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-54097663840492859602011-06-17T03:23:09.464-07:002011-06-17T03:23:09.464-07:00Tom, did they bring in mikes and plug them in when...Tom, did they bring in mikes and plug them in when needed or was there a dedicated place for them?<br />When you say "large" cast recordings, how many people do you mean? I would have thought actors would have moved on and off mike as needed, like an old network radio show, if you had more than, say, three or four.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-59572309972675875892011-06-16T11:32:03.827-07:002011-06-16T11:32:03.827-07:00Yes indeed, that photo depicts the Hanna-Barbera s...Yes indeed, that photo depicts the Hanna-Barbera screening room. The screen was about 4 or 5 yards to the right of the white chairs in the photo. This sound-proof room was also used for large cast recordings. The sound engineers and directors would remain behind the glass, in the booth, to the left. <br /><br />A bunch of memories from this room, but here are just two: <br /><br />About a month into my assistant animator job at Hanna-Barbera, late one afternoon in July 1978, Bill Hanna's 68th birthday was celebrated in this room. Many of the artists and crew members, myself included, squeezed into the room where Art Scott led us in singing "Happy Birthday" to Bill. There was cake. Also bottles of champagne. Bill opened the first bottle of champagne. The cork rocketed out and struck Art Scott in the eye and he had to be taken to the emergency room. It was like something out of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. <br /><br />Another memory from that room ...watching the final mix of a five-part miniseries from the 80's called "Battle of the GoBots." About five minutes into the screening, John Ludin leaned over and whispered to me, "It makes my eyes hurts."Tom Rueggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509448730816934205noreply@blogger.com
