All of the titles
and credits for
Quantum Leap were done by taking a black cell and cutting out the
letters for each title. Then they would put the cell on a white backlit
background. Then they shot it with a video camera, then with a modern
linear switcher they did a simple "key" to cut out the shape (in other
words take anything that's white and keep that shape), then they added
the tint and drop shadow with the switcher as well. Presto....credits.
Thanks to Matt Dale
for the high-res photos!

Mirror Image Alternate Ending Reconstruction by Matt Dale A
reconstruction of the original ending of Quantum Leap: Mirror Image. As
well as the leaked rough footage of the final scene, this video
features information from the original script (which confirms the
editing), and a much older leaked version which showed the way the end
credits would have played out with a traditional selection of captures
(most of which have been recreated here in HD).

We interrupt your regularly

Quantum Leap Podcast staffer Allison Pregler has made the uncovery of
the century — finding photographic proof that an alternate ending to
series finale Mirror Image was likely filmed.
Allison joins co-host Christopher DeFilippis and Quantum Leap expert
Matt Dale to discuss the photos, which feature Dean Stockwell as Al and
Susan Diol reprising her role as Beth in a scene contained in original
production scripts for Mirror Image — previously thought unfilmed.
But you don’t have to take our word for it. We also have an amazing
interview with Susan Diol, who shared her memories of that shooting day
and helped shed some new light on this amazing find.
So please join us was we take a new Leap — into Quantum Leap history!
