Скачать или смотреть The Son of the Hideous Car Smasher - 1978 super-8 animation (remastered)

My final film from the teen years, age 15, January 1978. Apparently, the owner of the magenta panel truck had a son as well, who restored it and rides again. This time he's ready!

Cameo by my beloved pet toad Flippy at the end. What a great actor!

Transferred via a lab service to VHS in 1987, then transferred with music track added (home VHS to home VHS with 4-track cassette run in for sound) as the Onward Video compilation master. This means the copies of Onward Video I sold were actually third generation VHS from the film-to-VHS lab transfer. Best we could do at the time.

I don't have records of how many copies of Onward Video were made or sold via ads in the back of my Ultra Klutz comic series. About 50 is my best guess. At $20 each retail, this was a huge shot in the arm while publishing indy comics for a living.

In 2009 the VHS lab master was transferred via my dad's industrial quality network affiliate type VCR to digital VOB files on a PC with help from my brother. I then learned to convert formats and edit in Movavi studio, where I did some minor editing for a DVD, but did not put it on YouTube.

2022 saw my opportunity to buy a Wolverine Transmedia Home Digitizer and transfer to digital direct from the super-8 film, for a new master. Then I repeated the editing in Movavi, and layed the original 1987 music soundtrack over it.

About the Music: This was one of my solo instrumental tracks "Life After Death" from 1984 recorded on 4-track cassette. I played guitar and bass and the drums were "Drum Drops," pre-digital tape loops we used to use.
