Rick nineg isn't even his real name
Regardless, we love him no matter what he calls himself! We love the man behind the name! "A rose by any other name..." (Shakespeare)
😂 Oh no! What neferious things is he up to?!
And Ms. Backstager isn't my real name either! :)
This is CZcams. It's a part of the internet, where people rarely, if ever, use their real names. I guess they figure it's necessary to protect their privacy.
He's joking. Not even a real troll.😊
Great episode. Had no idea how they filmed that scene, very interesting. Vera Miles and Martin Milner were perfectly cast. Thanks, Rick!
Perfect casting
@@ricknineg My mother whom just passed away name was Millicent!😢♥🙏
Rick, Martin Milner (Adam 12) was in that episode. "One Adam 12, One Adam 12, respond to 211 in progress at 801 North Vignes Street. Respond Code 3."
Yes, exactly, roger one Adam 12
@@rickninegMartin Milner was also in a movie with Elizabeth Taylor when he was a kid.
@@randytim512 Yes. "Life With Father" in 1949.
Adam-12 was never filmed in a donut shop.
@@ricknineg😊sweet
I love this one. Especially at the end when you get the feeling that Martin Miller thinks he might be a bit crazy too.
I see Vera Miles and Martin Milner are in the episode- both Columbo alumni. 👍👍
When I was in TV Production class in high school in 1974... We used this method in a lot of our video projects!! There was so much you could do with this..I call "trickery"!! 😅
An early form of this technique can be seen in the 1933 version of 'King Kong'. Two clear examples are when the rescue party confronts a stegosaurus while another is when Ann is in the tree watching Kong fight the large meat eater.
It’s always cool to see what techniques are used back then as well if they’re still used now or if they’re replaced by something even better. Keep up the great work Rick, hope you’ll have a great day. Take care!
This episode is so good. I love it when you cover Twilight Zone. Thank you so much Rick. Blessings - Judith 🎤🎭
Twilight Zone ... back when TV was worth watching. So long ago now.
Ooooo, and Vera Miles too! Must see this TZ episode.
Thanks Rick.
That was a creepy episode. Excellent video. 🪞
🙏
The most important thing when using rear projection is having the camera and the projector crystal-locked so the frames are in sync.
That was a great episode, Martin Milner was excellent in that role! Ray Harryhausen used RP as part of his Dynamation process, pretty interesting stuff! Cool episode Rick!
Vera Miles is still going at 94 yrs old!
My all time favorite episode was "A Little Game of Pool". You can't beat Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters there. OUTSTANDING performace from both!
For the effect to be seamless, the lighting in front of the screen must match that of the projected scene. When the intensity, angle, and colors (temperature, tone) match, then the scene works. So often, those details are overlooked.
Twilight Zone had some of the most imaginative story lines in history. Some weird twist that you didn't see coming. Serling's follow up show Night Gallery was pretty good too. X Files is probably the most recent tv that comes close.
Hi Rick. Yes creepy episode. Even creepier is Rods encounter at the airport. Thanks
The clerk at the ticket desk was a regular on the Andy Griffith Show.
There's a music video *(Enter Sandman with Alessia Cara & The Warning)* that uses projection of a singer onto the wall. Since both Alessia Cara & the band The Warning couldn't film the video together (COVID).
Seen it, love it! Txs Rick!

That was an excellent episode. One thing about people's reactions to the series that's always puzzled me is how many viewers profess that it frightened them. It never scared me ... I thoroughly enjoyed the chills that it sent creeping up and down my spine.
amazing and classic series and great episode
On of the memorable episodes for sure! I had no idea how they did this, so thank you!

Great video about rear projection but I’m fairly certain the technique used here was a matte done with optical printing - like a black and white version of a green screen. This technique was used on The Invisible Man. The matte wasn’t always perfect so if you look carefully the headlights of a car in the background go through the actor’s suit for a moment, which I don’t think would happen if it was rear projection.
Awesome video thanks for sharing rick
Thanks for watching!
I believe they used the same technique in A Passage for Trumpet episode starring Jack Klugman. No mirror image. I was amazed.
Great video, Rick! When I've seen this, I figured that last scene couldn't be done by double exposure, since the 2 images had some overlap. I'm sure I"ve seen rear projection before, but I never thought of it being used this way.
I love this episode and have it recorded and watch it often
I always thought the running scene was very cool.
I agree that on smaller, lower resolution TV screens, in black and white, it wasn't nearly as obvious as it is now. They could get away with a lot of more primitive visual effects back in the day. I do remember watching this episode back in the 60s and wondering how they did that.😊
Yes, Rick! I do need to be hopeful. 👍
I never watched the Twilight Zone very much. But it is a great show. And I love it when you explain how these things were filmed 🎥 🎉
Well done as always Rick. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting 😊
One of my favorite episodes.
Thank you Rick! I 😊love these behind the scenes videos! I always learn SO much! It’s great to see how one camera technique was used in so many ways for so many productions, including this one. Awesome video and more please!
More to come!
HI Rick, I remember this episode & I figured that it was pulled off by some kind of trick photography. Thanks for explaining how they did it!!! 👍👍🙂
Love this one. Very creepy.
I've never seen this one. Most of TWZ are somewhat creepy. However, there is one or two that have a happy ending.
"Static" is the name of the episode. I only remember seeing a rerun of it once.
I really enjoy your videos on the twilight zone
Another reason rear projection worked as well as it did in this episode was the fact that television screens were pretty small at the time, and there was certainly nothing like High Definition television. I've noticed this when I watch the episode "The Big Tall Wish." Ivan Dixon's makeup looks patchy, as though Silly Putty was just stuck to his nose. and brow ridge. But I'm watching it on a large, flat-screen TV.

One of my faves, and yet:
1 - This is one of a handful of episodes that had somebody 'hear about this sort of thing' from supposed magazine articles. What periodicals did these people read? I've yet to find the back issues with anything like these premises in Popular Science or anything else, and Omni came later.
2 - IDK, but if I had a crazy premise or idea percolating in my tired head, I might not blurt it out to strangers who will become witnesses for my commitment hearing.
3 - Are all the dopples from alt-Earths laden with sociopaths and psychopaths? They seem awfully prepped for folks who reality just dropped in to another universe. Given the s-eating grin Milner's dopple had while running away, this seems less like the dopples adapting to circumstances and more like a planned invasion - maybe from a ruined Earth?
4 - This may be nothing, but the bus station was in Rutland, Vermont - a non-urban center a lost dopple/invader would have an easier time slipping into. But it has another heritage. In early 70's Marvel and DC Comics, friendly writers (the creative types used to jump ship regularly and back again) got together for a Halloween bash, and the stories set there for the heroes had the heavy implication that the story from the other publisher was happening at the same time - like a nexus between two otherwise separate worlds.
Some older special effect techniques might be more obvious today because we're looking at images meant to be seen on tube TVs with poor resolution.
WOW I don;t remember this episode and I thought I have seen them all, thanks Rick for the info very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it
Seen this many times. Liked this very much. But never understood it.
👍👍‼️
Vera Miles was Alfred Hitchcock's ideal for the replacement of Grace Kelly (who ran off to Monaco to marry Prince Rainier). Vera (today age 94) was not terribly obsessed with Hollywood stardom (she was by the early 1960's happily enjoying a family life) and "Hitch" would later cast her aside for Tippi Hedren. Vera never looked back with regret and had a solid career nonetheless.
It’s hard to go with the flow of that technology of the day, considering when we have AI, and all the other things that make realism on screen. Watching that episode, it appeared to me that it was an image of him running next to himself. That is, you didn’t see two Martin Milner’s running side-by-side you could see one was actually a film or an early version of a hologram.
There was no tech back then, but the imaginary was very suitable for this ep.
❤
That was the first green/blue screen before green/blue screen became a thing.
Now do the on-camera guy aging 100+ years!
This is what I think of when I hear the name Marty Milner. Not Adam 12 or Route 66
But this was as nothing compared to a whole series airing just 3 years later: _The Patty Duke Show_ . I'm sure I wasn't alone in tuning in just to see what they could accomplish with their process every week. The actual stories were insignificant compared to watching for such things as whether this one moved in front of that one briefly, figuring out if I was watching a double's back for a shot -- and we didn't have recording to review it, so it was riveting! It was like watching Popeye cartoons for the Stereoptical shots.
👍👍👍👍👍
Something I see a lot of here on CZcams, you can’t mix up the terms ‘video’ and ‘film’. Everyone calls any clip of footage a “video”. Especially with a classic show like _The Twilight Zone_ because it actually shot six episodes on videotape, and they look extremely different.
For purposes in this video, they can be used interchangeably. The difference is negligible
Vera Miles is still alive at 94.
Watching this as a kid, the "Paul" doppelganger didn't look like Martin Milner to me. It still doesn't. I mean, similar, but I thought it was a different actor - a doppelganger of sorts.
I used to watch Twilight Zone but obviously I've missed several episodes. I don't remember this one. I did notice when she was talking the man at the counter the LA from the Ladies room was block so it spelled out dies. Probubly just a conicedence.
Not a coincidence, I assure you
🙂
The trouble with this technique was that the projected image was always too flat in contrast and didn't look realistic.
There's a school of thought that this sort of thing shouldn't look entirely realistic; Is Milner's character learning that Miles maybe wasn't so crazy, or is he now, tired and unnerved, just seeing this man himself when he isn't there? TZ left room for both ideas.
Forgot to add: The Showa-era Toho movie producers have said they could have made the monsters a bit more realistic, but in part they wanted them to seem unreal, surreal, like they should not exist - which they shouldn't, any more than the dopples.
I HATE rear projection. It's probably THE fakest effect in film other than stop motion. Especially in car chases. I guess it's because they can never seem to get the lighting ratios exactly the same between foreground and background (projection), or it's just the nature of the beast of trying to film both real subjects and a projected image. Anyway, for car chases, thank goodness for Bullitt and The French Connection doing away with that technique, although they brought it back for TV shows like The Dukes of Hazzard and it looked awful. Although I can understand from a budgetary standpoint why they did it for a weekly television series. A much better-looking and convincing technique they're using these days is something called the Volume. It's a cylindrical set arrayed with LED screens showing the background(s), and on set, they can adjust the brjghtness up or down to a T to match the foreground action, and it looks very realistic. Was used in The Mandalorian among other productions.
Twilight Zone aired in November 1959. If it had had a 94-year old filming secret, it would have premiered in 1930. What are you trying to say?
I respectfully suggest you be more careful in distinguishing between "film" and "video."
This is not a film class. So for our purposes, they are used interchangeably. The difference is negligible to getting my point across
@@ricknineg That last sentence is word salad.
I was a kid when i watched this and i remember feeling so sorry for the lady at the end. It didn't really scare me but it bothered me
