DescriptionThis series consists of items relating to a television commercial for Clearasil Max.

The series includes Pre-Production and Production material for an animated demo sequence (consisting of drawings, animation cels, dope sheets, and storyboards).

Synopsis: The scene opens on a timeclock graphic that reads 'Spots, lies & Videotape'. Various situations are presented regarding the product Clearasil Max in which the super reads either lie or fact. At one point the scene cuts to an animated demo sequence.
The Animated Clearasil Demo: Scene opens on cream being wiped over an inflamed, blotched pore. The cream forms an arrow shape which opens the pore. The arrow flips over to form two prongs which suck up all the grime. As it absorbs the grime, the pore shrinks back to its normal size and the inflammation goes down... leaving a healthy, normal pore and skin.
