The narrator and writer is Bud Haggert. He was the top voice-over talent on technical films. He wrote the script because he rarely understood the technical copy he was asked to read and felt he shouldn&#8217;t be alone. We had just finished a production for GMC Trucks and Bud asked since this was the perfect setting could we film his Turbo Encabulator script. He was using an audio prompter referred to as &#8220;the ear&#8221;. He was actually the pioneer of the ear. He was to deliver a live speech without a prompter. After struggling in his hotel room trying to commit to memory he went to plan B. He recorded it to a large Wollensak reel to reel recorder and placed it in the bottom of the podium. With a wired earplug he used it for the speech and the &#8220;ear&#8221; was invented. Today every on-camera spokesperson uses a variation of Bud&#8217;s innovation. Dave Rondot (me) was the director and John Choate was the DP on this production. The first laugh at the end is mine. My hat&#8217;s off to Bud a true talent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, I\u2019m not 100% convinced that the infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2gCk9yBBOUo\">EPCM PSP \u201cTurnaround\u201d video<\/a> is <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> simply an ornate \u201cjargon\u201d gag.
