Actually 'AD' makers call it as 1 minute or 30 seconds film which has lot of scenes and stroies within its time. A story has to be conveyed to audience within its time which is tougher than making a movie. <br /><br />Nice list of 'ads' and links. It brought me back to my childhood. my father and grandfater was being part of HLL family for more than 40years (which is rare in HLL history). every product launch of HLL was a festival for us in our childhood. as i read this post i remembered my photos with wheel, 501, Rin, Pepsodent, Lesancy, lauches and hamam display contests.<br /><br />One more 'AD' music of my age which i loved is 'Titan Watch' i dont know wether it was late 80's 'AD' or older one but that was an attractive one.Venkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751833402989918084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-74158977969207564562011-03-24T07:08:04.722+05:302011-03-24T07:08:04.722+05:30@kiwi - Oh yes, Lifebuoy jingle is another all tim...@kiwi - Oh yes, Lifebuoy jingle is another all time classic one.
