Here is a Lady Seiko watch commercial -16-millimeter film from the late 1960s or early 1970s, from Richard Lyons’ collection of 16-millimeter films. This one, like the General Electric Superblow hair dryer commercial, also includes a “China Girl” and other information on a few frames before and after the commercial. “China Girl” images were used by film lab technicians when processing the film.

4th of July Ambience 2020
Posted on July 6th, 2020
This recording was made on July 4th, 2020. I started recording at 9:50 PM and stopped at 10:30 PM with the same setup and recording technique as in 2019.
Here’s the setup in VSTHost for 2020. Note the little dip on the left side of the equalizer (-3 dB at 60 hertz, back to 0 dB at 50 hertz and 70 hertz. There may have been a slight amount of 60 hertz hum, although I didn’t actually hear it and the effect on the sound was minimal. There were so many fireworks, I was able to really set a good level on the Focusrite interface before starting to record. There was no clipping and it maintained good dynamic range, too
