More from John Whitney Jr.:
"One I recall was related to what might have been a film on the Bolshoi Ballet. He designed and produced a significant number of interstitial sequences. I do not believe that film was released. I have no idea where the film record is, we do not have it. Perhaps it would be in the Bass archive? My brother Michael may recall other projects. The ATT contact I did was in the early '80's."
