Jerry Lewis: Innovator Extraordinaire
Jerry is responsible for bringing video assist to film making. In 1965, Sony built for him “Jerry’s Noisy Toy”…a 6 or 7 foot rolling rack with video tape, audio tape, turntable and more all built into this one mobile console. They could know on the spot if they had what was needed for each scene. In the video below, at the 3:00 minute mark, you can see a minute or two of the ‘toy’ in action. This unique Lewis creation forever changed the way movies were made. Thanks Jerry! For Everything!
