Video Escola

(1980s)


Logo: We see many colorful pencils going down, revealing some dancing cartoon farmer with fading transitions. Red & yellow & green pencils then go diagonally to the lower-right corner, and reveal a strange scanimate moving object. Pencils then reveal a stop-motion fish swimming away, and the pencils connect again and reveal camera showing many white statues. Finally, the said pencils connect, and a blur effect appears. A white outlined word "VIDEO" with a pencil drawing cursive word "Escola" and a TV tube shape, fade in.

Technique: Stop-motion, Scanimate, live-action and fading effects.

Audio: A cheerful-sounding synth tune, with it quickly ascending at the end.

Availability: Spotted on releases of Jornada Kamayurá and Morte e Vida Severina.
