Prism Video

(1987)
Logo: On a space background with dark and  lights on the left side of the screen, a gold, 3D prism zooms and flies in. The prism slides down and then stops at the top section of the screen. Then, a white ray of light beams in and hits the left section of the prism, briefly creating a spark of light before disappearing. Passing through it, the ray of light gains rainbow colors, curves downwards and turns around off-screen, wiping in from right to left on the bottom of the screen. Within the bottom light ray, the company name in a stylized font and color wipes in. "VIDEO" is smaller than "PRISM" and is underneath and aligned to the right of the latter word.

Then, the prism, text, and ray of light (except for the bottom rainbow portion) disappear. The background cuts to a less detailed, still space background. From here, the company's logo quickly zooms in and stops. "PRISM" is in between two lines, both of which are in the same color as the text itself. "IS" are slanted downward as they align with the inside of an outlined triangle. Underneath the bottom line underneath "M" is "VIDEO".

A few seconds later, the logo choppily zooms out to the top left where the following text is displayed: FOR TRADE ENQUIRIES ROCKWEL MUSIC HOUSE MOHINI MANSION MORIROAD MAHIM BOMBAY•462875 TEL: 462875.

Technique: Basic 2D computer effects.

Music/Sounds: An ominous space soundtrack plays until the prism stops zooming in. Speaking of the prism, a whoosh is heard as it flies into view. Then, there are a few more whooshes when the ray of light beams in and a boom-like sound when it hits the prism. After which, a repeating synth piano piece plays until the company logo zooms in, which ends with an orchestral hit. The ominous space ambience piece is heard for the rest of the logo.

Availability: Seen on a 1980's VHS release of Mehboob Ki Mehandi and possibly more releases from the company.
