Video containing eleven animatics of proposed television commercials for Texas Homecare, and one completed television commercial for Bulk (a Texas sister company). The label suggests they were made by/for Hiltons advertising agency.
The eleven animatics contain drawings and dialogue to demonstrate the proposed ideas for the commercials, like a storyboard, so that they could be approved, modified or rejected before they filmed an actual commercial. These ones all feature music “Our House” by Madness and the tag line “More people go to Texas than any other DIY superstore”.
Contents:
1. Animatic “Texas makes tiling easy for everyone…”
2. Animatic “Texas kitchens stand out anywhere…”
3. Animatic “Texas has bathrooms for everyone…”
4. Animatic “Texas works wonders with walls…”
5. Animatic “Texas has super savings for everyone…” (promoting offers on paint, doors, folding chairs)
6. Animatic “Texas have more staff than any other DIY superstore…”
7. Animatic “Our nationwide network of kitchen and bathroom installers…”
8. Animatic “Cheap van hire to get those big things home…”
9. Animatic “Texas umbrellas go up only when the rains come down…”
10. Animatic “In 1986, Texas was voted Retailer of the Year…”
11. Animatic “Texas stay open late till 8…”
12. Television commercial for Bulk stores starring actor Michael Robbins. In this comedy advert, Michael Robbins explains the qualities of Bulk stores in a rather long winded way, and this is simplified by the out-of-vision narrator. The advert was filmed inside and outside a Bulk store.
Duration: 5 minutes.
