The whole thing was put together at Turner Studios in Atlanta. The voice cast of the Scooby Gang was recorded over the phone from Los Angeles, and was the same team that was making Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island at around the same time. The deputy in the background was played by a programming exec who had worked at several of Cartoon Network's major shows in the last 20 years, and several more from the company who were at the office that day did the voice acting for the press people shouting questions. The press conference was footage was filmed in a conference room by the cafeteria in the middle of a workday. The car used for the Mystery Machine was on a promotional tour in Canada at the time, so a couple of the producers involved flew up and got that footage in a day. There was also a set of scenes at a drive-in theater which was not included in the marathon. All live-action footage was shot on Mini-DV. They all drove up there after regular work hours to stage the tents, piles, and sticks. The forest scenes were filmed in the backyard of the home.
