In a few weeks I'll post to Vimeo an ad that I came across
on a 3 DVD collection of television ads I picked up at Big
Lots here in New Mexico - great cigarette/alcohol ads,
auto ads etc... But, the one I am thinking of now was for
a breakfast cereal - Post Grape Nut Flakes. It is a b/w
ad that depicts a group of kids playing in an indoor
playground (swing set, slide etc). The music is jazzy and
somewhat dissonant. The cinematography is quite
adventurous for a TV ad (looks like it was produced in the
1960s) - Does this sound familiar to anyone? Again, I'll
try to post it in a few weeks and let everyone know.
