A Question About Back to the Future Filming
I read that Michael J. Fox shot Family Ties & Back to the Future together. He would shoot Family Ties during the day and BTTF at night. But, how did they get all the daytime shots if they shot only night? A majority of the film takes place during the day, so how did they go about doing that?

From IMDb's trivia page (bolding is mine):
Michael J. Fox had always been the first choice for Marty, but scheduling conflicts due to his work on "Family Ties" (1982), initially prevented him from taking the part. Eric Stoltz was initially cast as Marty, but Michael replaced him, driving straight to the movie set after taping of the show was finished every day. He averaged about one or two hours' sleep during production. The bulk of the production was filmed from 6pm to 6am, with the daylight scenes filmed at the weekend. |
Thank You
