Randstad TV

Background
Randstad TV was a pirate television channel in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The channel got its name from the large area of the Netherlands containing the largest cities as well as most of the population. The channel was shut down by the RCD (Radiocontrolle Dienst) on March 8, 1981, and the broadcast equipment from the channel was seized. Randstad TV had partnerships with other pirate channels, such as Nederland 3, and warned them about RCD raids, as well as making a film bashing the RCD for censoring and punishing fellow pirates.

Logo (1980-March 8, 1981)
Visuals: First, a screen showing the logos of 4 different pirate channels, Nederland 3, Hofstad T.V., VTA, and Sinclair TV, with "-randstad tv-" in a rectangular box in the centre. Then, the background of the first slide gets superimposed into a close shot of the logo of Randstad TV, consisting of the channel name in a metallic, isometric style, against a space full of stars and the planet Saturn. The image of the logo slowly zooms out before stopping.

Technique: Motion-controlled animation.

Audio: Silver Streak by Henry Mancini.
