Silver Bird Films Ltd.

(December 12, 1985-1989)


Visuals: Over a starry background, a set of four trailing lights - pink, yellow, red and cyan respectively - shoot into a center and merge, creating a brief flash. A neon-like white seagull emerges from that flash and flies forth into view, moving up and coming back from the right as a rainbow trail appears behind it. The seagull flies into the top-center and flashes, turning the background into plain black as it turns into a 2D drawing of an stylized "S", with two small bars seen at the right. A flare emerges the red Chinese text below, moving left to right, as a flash appears behind. "Silver Bird Films Ltd." trails in thru a light effect, while a star quickly flashes at the right of the logo.

Technique: A combination of 2D animation and Scanimate.

Audio: A triumphant fanfare with an explosion, synth sounds, and a ding.

Availability: Seen on some movies like How Are You My Friends, The Kinmen Bombs, The Seductress, Yu Pui Tsuen II, and Carry On Yakuza.
