Brian R. Johnson shared with us his participation in making this game:

Many moons ago I spent a summer as a freelance illustrator for Gottlieb. My big project was doing pencils and inking for "Lights Camera Action". I also painted the top layer of the backglass as well as the animated gun fighting characters. Constantino Mitchell was the art director and painted the San Francisco skyline, but I did the rest. Oh, and he drew the playfield "Hot babe" characters because the big wigs didn't feel my women were sexy enough. So now you have this MAD Magazine-ish looking art with a few Nagel-esque looking women thrown in.
