Views: 775

Here's the final part of a demo reel from Midocean Motion Pictures, a production and graphics firm which worked "in association with" EUE-Screen Gems (the latter of "S From Hell" infamy, spun off from Columbia Pictures).

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 produ...

WFLD Channel 32 - Brady Bunch Hour - "Grapes" (Bumper, 1977?)

Views: 2013

Here's a filmed bumper from WFLD Channel 32 advising that The Brady Bunch Hour will continue, complete with a snippet of the theme music as heard over the closing credits. (This was not a reference to their short-lived 1977 variety hour, but a back-to-back block of episodes from the original 1969-74 series that Channel 32 aired regularly.) The bumper uses a stylized "bunch" of grapes as it's motif.

This features the Kaiser-era "32" logo as used during the period the st...

Harris Bank - Internal Promotional Film (Workprint) (Part 3, 1982)

Views: 3079

Here's the third and final part of something pretty neat and rare - a workprint of an internal promotional film from Harris Bank of Chicago, titled Honesty and Fair Dealing: An Introduction to the Harris Bank and the People Who Make It Work, produced for the company's 100th anniversary in 1982. (although maybe it's just the slightly washed-out and dirty work print, this almost seems like it could be from about 1977 - right down to the funky music. I do know that bank culture always se...

Views: 3574

Here's a (evidently lipsynced) performance from a band called "The Circus" - recorded at WREX Channel 13 in Rockford, IL. (not sure if this ever ran on or was intended to run on WCIU Channel 26 or not)

This came from the other Quad tape that I found in Jack Mulqueen's basement recently. (recorded in low band, according to the slate at the opening of this clip - as accompanied by an 800 Hz tone).

I was hoping this tape might have contained another episode of...

Views: 1657

Here's a very cool glimpse at some very old TV-44 - from 1974!

It's a slides-only promo of the afternoon lineup of WSNS Channel 44, which ranged "from cartoons to action" and at the time of this airing consisted of:

- 3pm - Robin Hood (presumably the 1950's British-made TV series with Richard Greene in the title role)

- 3:30pm - Popeye on 44 with Steve Hart (a what-ful of surprises?) ;-)

- 4pm - Spider-Man (...
