I actually don’t remember 1975, since I was three at the time. But if I could remember 1975, I think it would look a lot like this:
These are stills from an intro to a trade show piece for a company called Applied Materials that I was in back in 1999. Remember 1999? Nope, doesn’t ring a bell for me either.
I had forgotten about this little thing until I was putting together some other silly clips for another project I am working on, and thought, hmmm, didn’t I have sideburns and a kick-ass Cadillac at one point in one of my lives?
Applied Materials is a nanomanufacturer that makes semiconductors and ultra-small transistors. This intro was intended to remind us about how inconvenient life was way back then–when you were running late for a meeting and were forced to find a pay phone, all the while keeping your hair in place and your big-ass gas-guzzling Caddy on the road.
To see this bit of Academy-worthy acting (I won’t say which academy), click here or on either picture above.
Note: No sideburns were harmed in the making of this film. Special thanks to Mary at Intrepid Productions for getting this uploaded for me.
