Mattel Intellivision 35mm Theatrical Trailer

- From 1982, Mattel ran this advertisement in movie theaters for the Intellivision gaming console. It features a futuristic newscast that reports on news events that are actually demonstrating several Intellivision games. These games include: Space Battle, Night Stalker, Utopia, TRON Deadly Discs, Boxing, Tennis, Skiing, and Star Strike.
This is a digital transfer from my personal 35mm film. Compared to other similar videos of this trailer, this is a higher resolution video but the original film stock is a little dirtier and has more wear. This digital transfer has been left in its raw state and no effort has been made to clean it up.

Pixelated animation on a big screen? That was awesome! Thanks 80s!
This Mattel Intellivision theatrical ad was taken before movie trailers at the beginning of the 1982 theatrical re-release of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
That... is mind blowing.
This was probably shown before movies like E.T., Tron, and other films that year.
And the 1982 theatrical re-release of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
Gotta say I like the newcaster animations
That is freaking awesome. I've been an Intellivision fanatic since it was first released and I've never seen that video before. Very. VERY cool!
I grew up with all these games, played the hell out of them.
That is cool. It looks like they actually recreated the games by animating it using assets from the games rather than capturing footage, probably to make them look better because of limitations at the time. They did a pretty good job though trying to be faithful it looks like.
"MAKE AMERICA THE 80'S AGAIN"
OMG, I was beginning to think i imagined this.
Many thanks for making this available to everyone! I never knew of this before. I was wondering while watching it if it was something made recently, as it seems rather advanced for 1982. I would love to know exactly how they produced this.
So ahead of their time!
I remember seeing this.
I have this on 35mm. Where can you get HD transfers done? I've got a ton of old trailers like this that need transferring!
+eyeh8nbc I can recommend a place in the Pacific Northwest of the US. If you are not in that area, I recommend researching local film companies. I got in touch with some good folks after only a few phone calls and recommendations.
OK. Now I really wanna see the Foundation for a Better Life PSA in 35mm.
What's the name of this magical place?
@@Clay3613 I used Lightpress in Seattle. I am very happy with their work. They are at lightpress.tv/
Do they also process normal camera film?
I really wonder how the newsroom animation was achieved
Unbelievable that I was playing some of these games with my best friend when I was 8 or 9 years old at his house.
That’s unbelievably insane like B-17 Bomber TTS title call! And talking of 8-bit Graphics, NES/SMS/PC Engine graphics is my favorite.
I genuinely can't figure out how this was made. Would love to hear thoughts/ideas!
lol nerd
@@josephcaplan9779 You say that like it's a bad thing...
Almost certainly "rotoscoping". First videotaping the actors, then manually painting on top of the digitized / still video frames. Must've been quite time-consuming with the level of detail they used. And expensive!
God I love the reverb here
It's delay and reverb.
Even in the computerised, pixelated world of Intellivision's news broadcasts, the sports anchor is still the black guy.
I have the suspicion that this was a cel animation, but used computer-generated rotoscopy(Which computer it was, I still don't know.)Edit #2: mixed with painted cels. I suspect this because of the smooth fading, the uneven resolution(Edit #2: The resolution itself seems to be different with the background and the people.), Edit: the unpixelated lines at 0:20 and other places, and the fact that it seems that sometimes the pixels intrude in a "half-pixel sized area". The smooth fading, had it been an entirely computer-generated sequence, would have been dithering(Considering the technology at the grand time of 1982.).
this was definitely all cel animation. looks like promotional concept animations, maybe taken from game designer pitches to executives.
Rothoscope at its finest
Awesome! I love it!
Wish I could have seen this in its day. I was only 2 though, and wouldn’t have remembered it
Is this first generation rotoscoping? I haven't seen any earlier examples.
Wait...holy shit that was a real commercial? I wonder if they used a real Intellivision to make that commercial.
First game was space battle, not space armada. They stuffed up on their own ad, lol
It is possible the name of the game changed in between the production of the ad and the game hitting the shelves
Amazing! ^^
Does anybody know who animated this?
Was this actually in the movies?
Yes
love it
Plus, where did you find this?
+TheCinciBoy02 Channel I bought the 35mm film off of eBay. I paid a company to transfer it to 1080p digital since I don't have the equipment myself.
Hi Lathe26, who did you use for the transfer? Thanks!
I used Lightpress in Seattle. I am very happy with their work. They are at lightpress.tv/
Do you still have the lossless files?
There weren't really any lossless files to start with. A company professionally digitized the 35mm film and produced a 2GB HD AVI file (and some other file formats with heavier compression). I still have the 35mm film, though.
1:02 AVGN: *Yeah, Boxing....* -this sucks-
!!!!
+FragglevisionReturns I know right
It looks like an MS Paint animation.
MS Paint didn't exist at that time.
It's made to fit the visuals of the games. And it's rotoscoped.
I am glad the 80s are over
You shut your mouth.
Imagine saying that over something this stylish and cool. Much better and more creative than pretending this is realistic in any way.
