When I was constructing the pages for the new site layout, I hit upon my downloads page. It’s rather out of date, and hasn’t been seriously updated in years. However…
I did realize that I had several TV commercials there from 1998 & 1999 as mpg files. THrough the magic of Google, their new Google Video service allows you to send them video files, and they’ll host them for you. They also allow you to stream them to your own site and you don’t have to cover any of the bandwith.
That’s what the Ben Grieve commercial I posted the other day was. This story contains streaming versions of all of these TV ads that I sent to Google. The Google Video player requires you to have the flash plugin active (which just about every modern browser does now). You could in theory play them all simulteanously, but I wouldn’t advise that. :)
I really wish I had the old Molly ads on tape, but I don’t – the Rusty Greer “I am Pillow Man” one was great, as was the one where Molly was playing videogames on the Jumbotron with someone (McLemore maybe?).
If you liked any of these, please use the comments field and leave a comment on them. Thanks.
