'72? really?

What were you, like ten Sally? xD

Still the commercial looks great! Furthermore I can't even imagine how you got it digitized so perfectly preserved. Have you SEEN the video quality on these 80's commercials people be uploading? or clips from Square One TV? bleah!

But great work Sal! <3

@happmacdonald Skip Elsheimer of A/V Geeks in Raleigh made that great transfer for me. No I haven't seen the 80's commercials but I can imagine what they look like. Thanks, Sally

I love these videos Sal.

This the part of the 1970's that I actually miss.  Art in commercials.

[laughingsal]

@babyteeth4 I still sometimes see outstanding animated commercials. I wonder how they're done- they look like cel animation but can't imagine they're taken through that tedious process.

[namowal]

Great stuff! How long did it take you to make that?

[laughingsal]

@namowal Hey there namowal. what I remember is we were generally given between 6 and 8 weeks to complete. Glad you liked it.

[Reishyn]

I wish all commercials were this zany. I probably wouldn't just channel flick during adverts if this was what came on.

[matheavind]

Still awesome! Thanks for posting it.

[laughingsal]

Thanks for all these great responses!

Your work is always inspiring Sally, glad you put this one up aswell... Loving everysecond of it!

[mcneilsandyou]

so inspiring!!!!!

[fawazr]

Gorgeous and fun. Hard to believe that advertisements were ever this human.

[Taniger12345]

Your work is unmistakable, Sal. I can always tell your work from any other artist not just by the style, but by the fluidity of transition. And while the color may have faded, I honestly feel like it just added character.

"Eh Ringo, would you say that we're approaching the Sea of Shoes?"

"I think so Paul: looks like we're gonna be doin' some...sole searchin'."

[PatrickRsGhost]

It's even funnier is if you read that in Ringo and Paul's voices from "Yellow Submarine" or the cartoon series.

If only commercials today were this creative

[punxsutawneyphyllis]

I love how one thing always morphs right into the next in your animations. A beautiful job as always.

"Unfortunately, the color has really faded" Wow, from 1972, it must of really popped because this is already really colourful! xD

Sal, as ever, your work is absolutely terrific. And you know what? I may be 20 and male but I've got a serious hankering for shoes right about now thanks to this. ;) Great work!

[ginetteginette2]

beauty!!

[DRGeoduck]

Fun!

[Thorbie]

It's always a pleasure to watch anything animated by you.  Nice commercial!

[TheRealGentleman]

I wish commercials still looked this good.
