Edison Universal Entertainments

(2014)


Logo: We see a flaming asteroid moving around a starfield. We then go into a close-up of the asteroid once it moves to the right, and the camera then rotates revealing other planets being Jupiter, Venus/Mars and Earth. The camera then very rapidly moves into an aerial view of Chennai, but then moves back in a similar speed from before as we see the planet Earth being changed into a stock-looking wireframe globe with white landmasses. The words "EDISON" and "UNIVERSAL" in red and a blue ribbon below zoom out (with the text slightly spinning). The ribbon moves to the bottom of the Earth, at the centre, and a blue light flare reveals "ENTERTAINMENTS". Another red light flare wipes in "PRESENTS" below the logo.

Technique: The camera, the asteroid, the flames, the transitions, the text, the ribbon and the lights.

Music/Sounds: Whooshing and flaming sounds from the camera movement and asteroid, segueing into the 2nd CJ Entertainment theme when we see the aerial view of the Indian city (as described in the CJ logo, it was from a stock production piece, but seeing that is also ends up with the last note from that logo can contribute to this being blatant), with a shining sound when "ENTERTAINMENTS" wipes in.

Availability: Seen on Sokkali.

Legacy: The asteroid that's about to strike the Earth (but doesn't do so anyway) and the fast movement would catch someone off-guard. The stolen music may be humorous to some, though.
