Check out what it took to make ST TNG with 80's tech. Play the Reading Rainbow video by Mr. Burton

I liked the part (@5.30 min) where Frakes goes through the turbolift door and you can see a man behind the scene pulling some strings etc in order to open the door and create the illusion that it opens by itself :shifty:

I would expect that even in the 80s they had some way to make the procedure automatic :waaah:

I liked the part where they had a basement full of tap machines controlled from the editing studio in order to put a final clip together. OMG so not digital.
