Terminal Bar comes to Print

Always nice to be able to give a well deserved plug. We're proud to announce the publication of Sheldon Nadelman's photographic tribute to a time and place - 

Terminal Bar: A Photographic Record of New York's Most Notorious Watering Hole.

Here's a link to WNYC host Richard Hake's interview with Shelly Nadelman, Stefan's dad on Friday, October 17th, 2014.   Interview

Just last year we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Terminal Bar: The Movie and Sequel. And in March of 2013, it celebrated its 10th year running on YouTube.

The movie's a bit rough around the edges for younger audiences. Featured at Tribeca Film Fest and winner of many international film festival awards, this 2003 Sundance Jury Prize winner for short film explores the customers who frequented the Terminal Bar – a down-&-out watering hole in Times Square across the street from the Port Authority. Sheldon Nadelman, the bartender, shot over 1,500 black and white portraits during his ten year stint there from 1972-1982. This film also uses a technique that brings to life Sheldon’s still photos with the collaboration of narrative & an original scored music from Stefan Nadelman, Sheldon's son. The result is a textural journey of electrifying images and sound. I was proud to be part of the narration and character portrayal that I hope lends this film some authenticity and enjoyment.

Scaring up some Frightening Results this Halloween

Tom Clifford and TC and Company are at it again for Karts Raceway's 'Fright Night' this Halloween. Booked again for their radio and TV campaign, Tom reprises his Creepy-Voice!

It all started quite by accident last October when Tom heard his generic TV spot being used by Karts here in New York. Figuring, it might be worth a call to see if they wanted that creepy-voice for some of their custom media. Turned into a pretty good union. And now with a special promotion featuring 'Bela',  it's in tandem with local radio station WBLI. Check out the TV version here:

Tom Clifford - sends up Grand Cinema's new Mobile App for Plan-A Advertising

Plan-A Advertising unveils its featured tv spot for Grand Cinema's newest mobile "App"...the Sequel.

Plan-A came to Tom with a voice request to go along with their futuristic animation. What better way than to hit the flux capacitor and go back to the 60's for a classic Ernie Anderson style.

As it turned out, not a bad fit against the animation. Give the link a click...insert the password  GC_Plan_A  This is still very Hush, Hush ... and judge for yourselves.

Samsung's ATIV Book 9 Lite Spot 'Extended Version' - Tom Clifford as Voice-Over

 Dead Famous Advertising, Vancouver, BC   releases the extended comedy version of the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite television spot for web use.

Click to Play

The premise was that of two old high school sweethearts using their Samsung laptops to "get slim" prior to meeting at their high school reunion...which begs emphasis on the word "slimmer" at the end of the read. High tone photography, a 'Rocky' Sound-A-Like music score and realistic Chubsy-Ubsy makeup helped sweeten the premise. We've directed the start point of the spot to begin with the voice-over. Click progress bar 'left' to see entire spot.
