Shadow Play Video

Background
Shadow Play Video is the home video division of Shadow Play Records, based in Austin, Texas.

(1989-April 15, 1997)
Logo: On a black background with a light yellow spotlight in the center, a white bunny hops in from the left, spreading its arms while it briefly looks at the screen. It proceeds to perform shadow puppetry using its hands. The first creature formed in this trick is a butterfly, which flies away from the spotlight, frowning the rodent. After making a shadow puppet of a bunny, the mammal, now happy, looks at the screen again while the company name in yellow, stacked format, serif font, and shadow facing the top left fades in and zooms out to the bottom left of the spotlight

Technique: Traditional animation.

Music/Sounds: First, there is a drum roll as the bunny enters the spotlight. Then, a cartoony and whimsical bassoon/tuba/flute/clarinet/percussion tune, alongside slide whistles and drums, plays for the remainder of the logo. When the company name appears, a female chorus say "Shadow play!".

Availability: Can be seen on Joe Scruggs tapes; the first of which being Joe's First Video and several more include Joe Scruggs: Live From Deep in the Jungle and Joe Scruggs: Joe TV.
