Last week got kind of crazy, huh? It was Friday when I realized I had only posted once. I hope to get some new material posted this week.
Here’s a great site I bumped into a few years ago, and visit as often as time allows. It’s called the Prelinger Archives. It’s not all animation, but features a variety of different genres of material that focuses on “ephemeral”(advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur) films. You can watch many of them on the site and many are available for licensing from Getty Images. Some are available for download.
There are also links to dozens of different AV collections. Those wonderful slide shows that told us how to be good students and neighbors are there to. Most in the public domain.
The archives feature the infamous Duck and Cover films of the 1950’s and 60’s, and some great corporate films. Be careful, once you start clicking around you can easily spend 4 hours. Great place for inspiration, history and fun.
