Atom Films

(1985)


Nicknamesː "Psychedelic Atom", "South Africa's SuperVideo", "South African Light Show", "The 2nd Most Experimental Chyron Trail right next to SuperVideo", "Tele Monte Carlo's South African Cousin"

Logoː We start off as a Starry Space Background. Then, a bunch of blue Lights start to appear, forming a bunch of trails. The Lights start to get off-screen & the word "ATOM" starts to show up, where the "O" has an atom in the hole (hence the company name) with a chyron trail, making it look like green/purple/blue. We zoom-out from the word to reveal the word "FILMS" in a metallic rectangle below "ATOM". When it zooms out completely, the chyron trail dissolves to reveal the company name in blue on the same background.

FX/SFXː The use of the chyron trail, but mostly 2D Animation.

Music/Soundsː A held out electric guitar note, as well as a 2-second synthesizer note, which turns into a synth note that echoes & repeats for a long period of time.

Availabilityː Very Rare.

Editor's Noteː The strange sounds & animation can get to some, but it's intentional due to the company name.
