See the Light of 7UP

11 Mar

This is another fine psychedelic 7UP commercial, this time from 1974. It reminds me quite a bit the cover of this Mercury Rev record.

Enjoy!

    I don’t think the advert reminds of the album cover for nothing…. It looks like that picture was taken straight from the video, from around 0:30.
    Liked the videos, interesting for them being adverts.

      Yes, I also think the cover is a still from the video. I was surprised to find it there. I am glad you liked the videos. I think they were some kind of breakthrough in combining drawings and real objects. I also like how they resemble the style of early cgi.
