1977 Levi's jean commercial - A new harvest

This kind of animation is called rotoscoping. The reason it looks so lifelike is because, well, it is: animators pencil and ink over live-action film of actual people. It's considered a time and money saver in the industry; so it wasn't as innovative or groundbreaking for Levi's perhaps as you think it is. Bakshi used it a lot in his version of LOTR to save money. Stylistically that later came back to haunt him.

Can someone help me? In the 70's, was there a Levi's commercial where some guy was dreaming about being in Levi's pants factory? And when he woke up, his Levi's hanging by his bed told him to go back to sleep, because he was just dreaming?

cool vid! can you send me a copy of this ad?

Ken Nordine, THE voice of the 70s.

love these old levi's ads. brings back memories of the coke "i wanna teach the world to sing" ads and the dog food chuck wagon ads as well.
