Pearl & Dean adverts c.1970s - made up 5min reel for Home Cinema

Описание: I have a Home Cinema now after a friend sold me his NEC video projector. To add a bit to the experience I decided to show some Pearl & Dean adverts before the main presentation. This is my first attempt, the 1970s, but wish to make up at least one for each decade, 1950s thru 2000s, to go with the film showing.

Thanks go to Dave Jeffrey for the mock-up Academy countdown leader, although the first couple of seconds are from a genuine telecine'd leader.

I'd be interested in any constructive comments from those in the cinema industry or cinema addicts as to whether adverts were made up in any particular order..... or anything else about this example! Personally I feel that the scratches and dirt on the film make it true to advert presentation of the era :) ...well at our local anyway!

How did I make up the reel? It was quite simple. I converted large advert-laden .mp4 files to wmv, using FREE MP4 TO WMV CONVERTER, I used ASFBINWIN.EXE to extract adverts out of the large wmv file, this gave me .asf files. I then used MICROSOFT MOVIE MAKER to splice together the different files. Some were .wmv, some .asf and some .mp4.
