OK we don’t. And neither does the film crew from the History Channel who was in the studio shooting a new documentary on the subject. But there are plenty of thoeries going around. And we did get to hear a few of them from the guests that were placed against the green screen stage at 4th Street Studios .

Here one of the knowledgable people on the subject, Josiah Thompson, was furthering his explanation to director Tony Bacon and producer Owen Palmquist. While sound man Kevin Brown appears to look on through the specialized teleprompter made for intimate and revealing interviews.

TriFilm, Seattle Production Company shoots at 4th Street

4thadmin — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 06:41:40 +0000

San Francisco is fair distance from Seattle. And from their client MicroSoft. But since we have both a green screen video studio and a white cyc, it was the perfect place for TriFilm to shoot this comedy skit.
They used the entire studio as their set. That means the make-up room, client lounge, even kitchen were all part of the background in the sets.
