Logo: We fade in to see a cinema in a city, the text: NOW SHOWING, is on a marquee, the text on the bottom of the marquee depends on what movie is playing, we go inside the cinema, where we see a fancy lobby, with a picture on the top of the stairs, we go to a room, where there is an empty theater, with lights off, the camera zooms into a seat to point at where the screen is, the screen shines, ripples, and summons the VCI logo, which flies around the theater, and then shines, then we see a shining background, with the text: “Celebrating Classic Movies” in a fancy font, the VCI logo sets on top of the text, and after a few seconds, the URL fades in on a black background.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic drumbeat for the first half, followed by mystical music when the VCI logo appears.
