MaVen

Background
maVen was a film release group founded October 2005. The company shut down in the summer of 2006 after the FBI caught 27 year-old Gérémi Adam, one of its key members, who would be sentenced to two and a half months in prison and complete 100 hours of community service. He pleaded guilty to distributing two major motion pictures: Invincible and How to Eat Fried Worms. After the bust, releases ceased until another group called maVenssupplieR immediately took up the slack.

Visuals: Over a 3D area of what appears to be a museum with machines, the screen pans up and zoom into one of the laboratory and we see movie clips from it inside the lab, mostly movie trailers. Then we pan up to see a lab with the text "maVen" in a futuristic font over a sky blue rectangle.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An excerpt of the Jason Nevins remix to "Rockstar" by N.E.R.D..

Availability: Known to have appeared on a bootleg DVD of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit that surfaced in the United Kingdom (likely a PAL conversion of a Canadian print from the company).
