Midocean Motion Pictures - "Research Reel" (1979?)

Views: 1520

Here's a "research reel" from Midocean Motion Pictures, a production and graphics house that handled commercials.

This came from a 3/4" Umatic tape that was kept by Cathy Mustari, art director for WFLD Channel 32 from 1974 to the late '80's, from a time when the station was actively shopping for production houses to handle their graphics for opens/closes, bumpers, promos, etc.

Includes:

- Midocean Motion Pictures - Research Reel title card

WFLD Channel 32 - Movie For A Saturday Afternoon - "The Big Broadcast of 1938" (Bumper Excerpt, 1979)

Views: 3096

Here's another small but rare excerpt of a bumper for the "Movie for a Saturday Afternoon" presentation of the Bob Hope and W.C. Fields movie, "The Big Broadcast of 1938" on WFLD Channel 32.

If you pause it at the right moment you can make out the "film strip" framing as well as the old "Kaiser-era" 32 logo and some kind of green-jelly like effect in the background (which was evidently used for this program as late as 1980).

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sat...

Perkins' Fanta-Mals (Commercial #4, 1974?)

Views: 1276

Here's kind of a rare oddity - a commercial for a "coloring book/cut-out paper dolls kit" type toy called Fanta-Mals (or Mini-Mals) by Perkins. This was found on an old 3/4" tape and dates to about 1974 or 1975. Does anyone remember these?

Features the Fanta-Mals mascot - "Ralf", the green monster with the pink umbrella.

Again, not sure when or where these aired.
