DVD Technologies

(Early 2000s)

Logo: We see lightning flash on a night sky. We see a helicopter passing through a city, which pans around. Then we see the helicopter again, and a building that has the Dolby Digital logo on top, with the Dolby letters appearing one-by-one. Then we pan over to see the Sydney Opera House and then the DVD Technologies logo suddenly flashes in with the byline "The DVD People" and the URL "www.dvdtech.com.au", then the background fades out and the byline and URL shine.

FX/SFX: The CGI animation and the logo shining.

Music/Sounds: The Dolby Digital "Helicopter" music.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on the 2001 Magna Pacific Australian DVD release of Dances With Wolves. It is also seen on the 2001 Magna Pacific Australian DVD releases of Emma (1996) & Brassed Off!. May or may not be on other Magna Pacific DVD's from this time.

Editor's Note: The CGI feels low-budget in most of the parts, and the logo appearance is pretty sudden. Also it appears to be a rip-off of the Dolby Digital "Helicopter" Trailer, even including the music (and a cameo by the Dolby logo itself).
