🎬In his 1980 film, Robert Altman had a clever way of showing Bluto ‘seeing red’ when Olive Oyl arrives with Popeye. There was no digital effect or color filter added. The crew created the entire look: dressing the set in red, bathing everything in red light, and putting Popeye, Olive and Swee’Pea in matching red outfits. Old-school movie magic

☕️ Back in 2000, Paul Stanley of KISS fame filmed a Folgers commercial completely out of costume. Set inside a circus tent with acrobats flying overhead, Stanley sang a customized version of ‘The best part of waking up’ before magically disappearing into thin air. Focus groups apparently found the vibe a little too bizarre and Folgers pulled the plug before it ever aired. It stayed an urban legend until the footage finally surfaced online in 2014
