Friday Find: 1994 Rockies Intro

We came across this classic during a recent stroll through YouTube, produced by North by Northwest for the 1994 Rockie Awards.

From the video’s description:

In 1994, the Idaho Ad Federation asked vendors to produce openings for that year’s Rockies Show. North By Northwest chose “Newspaper”. The piece was shot in one night and was Jeff Noble’s first “day” on the job. It won for Best Intro.

2010 Rockie Awards Show

The entries are in.

The judging is complete.

And now it’s time to have an awards show.

The 2010 Rockie Awards Show is coming up on Saturday, April 24th at The Knitting Factory in downtown Boise. Food and drinks start flowing at 6:00 p.m. and the show gets underway at 7:00.

Tickets are $45 each, or $350 for a table of eight.

Ticket reservations should be sent to rockies@boiseadfed.org. RSVPs are due by or before April 15th. But seriously, get your RSVP in now — rumor has it that the show is more than halfway toward being sold out.
