I am proud to announce that my 1992 film: "Dead Beat" ( AKA "Nuclear Nightmares" ) was chosen from among entries from around the world, to be one of eight winners of the Pro 8 mm 2011 "My Super-8 Movie Contest." Plot: Wedding musician, Neil, somehow works out his disappointment and frustration over where his musical career and his marriage to Mary have ended up by obsessing on movies having to do with impending nuclear holocaust. His dreams are about his career, his marriage and his obsessive nucleomituphobia. However, even Neil does not know for sure where his dreams end and his reality begins. "Dead Beat" was shot entirely in Super-8. The camera used was a Nizo 6080. The camera was blimped for some scenes ( breakfast ). The stock was Kodachrome 40 Sound film. The movie was "double system" edited on film using the "Super-8 Sound Sync Sound System": incl. PGP 6 Plate flatbed editor, Mag IV fullcoat recorder, Elmo GS1200 projector and Akai MG614 four track recorder. ( Thank you, Bill Stansbury of Elizabeth, NJ, for providing me with a used Elmo GS1200 at low cost when mine was stolen from my car. This film would never have been completed without that projector! ) Interior location sound was recorded on the Mag IV fullcoat recorder. Exterior location sound was recorded on the film sound stripe and resolved to fullcoat for editing. All dialog was recorded live-not dubbed in post. Dialog, music and FX tracks were mixed on an Akai MG614, and resolved to a master fullcoat on the Mag IV. In 2011, in recognition of winning their movie contest, Pro 8 mm scanned the surviving full length Super-8 edited camera original to HD in a one light scan. The archival fullcoat master sound track was resolved back onto the movie in Final Cut, using the Mag IV. "Dead Beat" is the full length film of which the short "Nuclear Nightmares" is a segment. Produced, written, directed and edited by NEIL CAPOLONGO. Director of Photography: DENNIS CAPOLONGO Camera Operators: DENNIS CAPOLONGO, NEIL CAPOLONGO, LOU ROSENBERG, TODD SHOMAN, GEORGE RUGEN.
