- Film wasn't an interest to begin with. I was an electronics engineer originally and worked as a television engineer for Pye, repairing closed circuit TV systems.
- I worked for six months with Oswald Morris BSC, who was working on Oliver! (1968). He had just shot Stop the World: I Want to Get Off (1966) with the first Mitchell video assist, but on Oliver! there were 400 dancers and he needed something more. So, in 1967, I built what I still believe was the first video assist recorder. It had video and recording, which gave playback for the director.
