| Description: | PREVIEW CASSETTE # 210699 A
This animated product promo for Wheelaberator-Frye Inc. opens with the biblical story of David and Goliath; the former is an adorable young boy while the latter is depicted as an ugly ogre (remember this is an animation). Somehow it segues into a wheelaberator product shot (with David resting beside it) and the history of the wheelaberator. Then there is a description of the steel products that benefit from it (office equipment, ships, safes, refineries,etcetera) and how the wheelaberator operates differently from sandblasting and acidbathing. There are industrial design drawings of its operations (mostly involving centrifugal force) and diagrams of its components. The film culminates with an illustration montage of space rockets, submarines, scuba gear,and monorails. The VO is fairly typical and straight forward. NOTE: THERE ARE TWO ANSWER PRINTS AVAILABLE (WPA 1419 AND 1419A). | |
