Shiva Video

(1990's)


Visuals: On a black background, we see a rotating sphere of an image of Hindu god Shiva against a bunch of plants travelling towards the left side of the screen. Half-way there, the sphere expands to reveal the full image of Shiva which appears to be setting off a bunch of light rays, and covers the entire background. Finally, a set of text reading: Arial Arial Arial appears from the top-right portion of the screen, leaving a trail and zooms in towards us for a short period of time. It stays on-screen for a few seconds until it travels back to the top-right corner.

Technique: Primitive computer animation.

Audio: A chorus chanting "Om Namah Shivaya" four times, followed by a melody from a tabla and a sitar.

Availability: This was seen on Bollywood releases from the company such as ''When? Why? And Where?''.
