Thank you for your contributions to movies that would become a part of the MST universe, Lee Strosnider.
He did sound for The Beast of Yucca Flats?
So I’m going to assume he didn’t have a knack for it when he started.
RIP Mr. Strosnider.
@ #2: Bob Burns noted in the Ballyhoo documentary on Coleman Francis that, when you consider how inept the rest of the film was, the sound effects were handled in a surprisingly competent manner. IMDB also lists him as a camera operator and a film editor for Beast.
Sampo, you forgot that he did cinematography for Skydivers.
RIP, but…. TISCWSLABMUZ had someone actually working on the sound???
Thanks for the catch, Sitting Duck.
The interview that Ballyhoo did with him during the “Making of” feature for Beast of Yucca Flats was interesting. One of the things that did work well, Lee mentioned that Coleman had suggested that he open the gate to let as much light in the camera as possible to simulate the atomic bomb explosion flash.
Amazing career!
Tomorrow I’ll go back to work in my little dip**** small town crap radio station dreaming of doing what this man did.
