Finlux, Taika-Jim

1987 · Commercial · 25 seconds

Finlux / Vistakuva

Cel animation. A wonderfully beautiful video television, and a wonder of modern technology.

A drawn magician in top hat and cape stands inside a television cabinet, hands raised. Jungle waterfall with rainbow and flying birds fills the screen, super reads CTI-väriterävöinti. The same waterfall, now with two dark figures standing at the water’s edge. A cartoon dog howls on the screen above a price line for the 24 inch set. Leaning in from the left, the magician faces a woman who touches her cheek. A photographed Finlux television against blue, logo and Finnish flag beneath it.

Heard in the film: “Tänä iltana Finlux-videoteeveellä Taika-Jim. Ihme ruutu. Ihme kuva. Ihme ääni. Ihmeen kaunis Finlux. Kuvankaunis Finlux.”
