High Bridge

Background
This is the production company of Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad and its spin-off, Better Call Saul.

(January 20, 2008-August 15, 2022)
Logo: We fade in to a black-and-white picture of a railroad track connected to a bridge. A man in a top hat is seen standing on the left side of the tracks. Then, the company name in a black and dot-covered metal style, fades in above.

Trivia: The picture is a Civil War-era photo of the High Bridge over the Appomattox River near Farmville, Virginia, taken in April 1865 by Timothy H. O'Sullivan. The bridge itself was built in 1852; it survived the war and was used for railroad service until 1886. The current bridge on the site was built in 1914, and is now a state park.

Variant: On the Better Call Saul episodes "Nippy", "Breaking Bad" and "Waterworks", the logo is brightened.

Technique: The fading-in.

Music/Sounds: A descending 3-note guitar theme with lots of reverb or the closing theme.

Availability: Seen on Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul.
