Several months back, I acquired a 16mm film reel containing 14 McDonaldland commercials from eBay, and had it scanned in high resolution by the incredible folks at the Colorlab. The original film is red tinted, but I was able to color correct them all in After Effects.
Unfortunately, almost all of these commercials are incomplete: cut off at the end, usually when they show up to McDonald's, which is really a shame. Still, the quality looks incredible, and way clearer than I've ever seen McDonaldland look before! I'll be trickling these onto the channel in the coming months, hope you all enjoy!
This one, 'Day for Night' has only been available online in its :30 form, so this version has been lost until now. Only about 2 seconds seem to be cut off at the end, so I think we can consider it found and practically complete!
