Master Video Films

(Late 1980s?-Early 1990s?)
Visuals: On a segmented background with a blurry  diagonal triangle at the left corner, a white image with a lime border flips in, and stands in the middle. This has a grainy - gradient background. From the following is, a tall tower with white sprocket holes on its sides, a white Betamax tape with a gray label inside it reading "MASTER VIDEO FILMS" in each white rectangle and at a stacked format, and three RGB rounded bars with expanded sides from both left or either right sides. Behind it, footage is revealed in which stretches into a building as it scrolls up with flying  musical notes. The image then stretches out, going upwards. Meanwhile, in the footage, as it stops reaching from the top of the building, it then leads to a  building in the shape of a radio tower on a white- gradient background. We then zoom forwards, and the windows from the building then light up, with some of them remaining intact. The footage freezes near the end, for the text "Arial Narrow Arial" to slide in.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: "Midnight Soul Patrol" by Quincy Jones.

Availability: Seen on releases from the era, such as Ulysses (1954).
