Image Archive http://webdev.archive.org/movies/ |
Featuring some early examples of US TV advertising. Kitsch and authentically retro Americana. Stills grabbed from these could make a strong social statement. Or be humorous. The collection is free and open for everyone to use. By providing near-unrestricted access to these films, it is hoped to encourage widespread use of moving images in new contexts by people who might not have used them before. |
