4th Warning (2001)
Warning: We fade in on a scene of a prison cellblock. A bald man in prison clothes trudges into his cell, the doors close, and we fade out. The scene fades back to an overhead shot of the man in his cell. He buries his head in his hands, and the image darkens as the FBI warning text scrolls up.

Variant: In some cases, if you switch the angle on your DVD player, you can see the man in his cell from another perspective.

Technique: 3D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A harmonica tune, a slamming sound when the cell closes, and the man crying.

Availability: Extremely rare. This was seen on a pair of "Television Favorites" public domain DVD volumes of The Beverly Hillbillies. The alternate angle can only be accessed on "Volume 1", as "Volume 2" just contains the main angle.
