The commercials on this reel(sound) represent animations done by my late grandfather C.L. Hartman while he worked for John Hubley of Story Board Productions and later at Quartet Films. He explains in a note that they are a little dated because since then he had been working in "Entertainment Films".

  • What great work, full of charm, wit and economy.

    I wouldn't call it "dated," I'd say "beautifully evocative of its period." Thanks for posting it.

  • Very distinctive, humorous style. Great stuff!

    My favorite has to be that boxing announcer in the Carling ad.

    I'll bet you're quite proud of your grandfather.

    Well, his name's Jacob, but, yeah, I agree! Sterling Hollloway and some others, as well as June Foray's granny bird...

  • Very, Very, Good, good, good.

  • @criticalmetrics1 Storyboard shut down its west coast studio and Quartet formed from it under Art Babbitt, Les Goldman and a couple of others. Mike Lah eventually took it over.

  • love it!! My dad worked for Calso!

  • What an awesome reel!

    I agree with BlinkAndItsOver in that I wouldn't call it dated either. I think it's like the Hills Bros coffee commercial...'its as delicious today as it was yesterday, and will be tomorrow'

    Thanks for posting it!

  • Where's Films Reel?You Tube took him away.They'll be passed up soon.Competitiors are coming.

  • These are fantastic. Thank you for posting them.

  • Holy cow! Thanks for posting this reel, Jason!

    I found this clip after seeing a still of the Calso Water campaign in the Story Board Producitons section of Amil Amidi's gorgeous "Cartoon Modern: Style And Design In Fifties Animation," which lists the designer as "unknown."

    According to the same book, SBP only lasted from 1953-1955, so that dates the non-Quartet work pretty narrowly.

    Good for you for clearing up that credit so your super-talented late gramps can finally get his due!!
