In this episode, I'll tell you about the production schedule. How many days does it take to film an episode? How long does it take after filming before the episode is broadcast? Stuff like that. Also, I have an answer to the oft-asked question: How did you guys do that effect where the angels glowed during the revelation scenes?

Finally, I'll tell you about the set which was created for the interior of the Greene family's Airstream trailer. For you Airstream fans, I'm sorry to tell you that a real Aistream trailer was sacrificed in order to make the interior set. It was torn off its original frame, cut apart and reassembled on a platform in our warehouse studio. We still used a different, intact airstream trailer for any exterior scenes.

These memoirs are still covering the period in the fall of 1996 when I was working on the first season of the Promised Land TV series for the CBS television network.
