Ocean Movies

Background
Ocean Movies was run by Indian film actor and director Shiv Kumar.

1st Logo (28 September 1984)


Logo: We start off with a live action footage of the ocean (hence the company name). After 3 seconds, a rotating white outline of the sun rises from the ocean and when it reaches the sky, then company's name "OCEAN MOVIES" in white wipes in upwards on the sea. An Aum symbol appears inside the sun outline and the 2 giant letters "OM" wipes in downwards between the outline and the company's name, which also has an ocean sketch inside it.

Technique: Live action for the ocean, and 2D animation for the sun outline rising, the Om symbol appearing, the "OM" wiping in and the company's name appearing.

Music/Sounds: A short vibraphone glissando when the sun outline rises, and a stock lyre tune with a few vibraphone notes is followed.

Availability: Seen only on Lalluram.

2nd Logo (21 July 1986)


Logo: Another footage of the ocean is displayed. A white, simpler sketch of the Om symbol inside the sun appears above the ocean and zooms in for a brief period of time, stopping when it covers half of the screen. The company's name in a Sanskrit style appears underneath the symbol, rippling and flashing twice as it fades in. After a while it stops.

Technique: Live action and 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Wave crashing noises with a female choir chanting "Om" thrice is heard throughout the logo.

Availability: Seen only on Maati Balidan Ki.
