Anderson Burr Pictures

Background
Anderson Burr Pictures was formed by Gerry Anderson and Christopher Burr in 1983 for the production of what became Anderson's last marionette series Terrahawks. The company was later renamed "Mentorn Entertainment" in the 1990s.

(October 3, 1983-1987)


Visuals: Against a space background, we see a spinning tawny wireframe globe. A thin diagonal line appears on the globe, and it turns around and zooms out to reveal the words "AN A NDERSON B URR PICTURE". The globe, still spinning, is shown in place of the "O". It fades out shortly after.

Technique: Early CGI, possibly complex hand-drawn animation.

Audio: An eerie high-pitched synth tune. Sometimes this had a more triumphant four note theme.

Availability: Seen on Terrahawks, Dick Spanner P.I., Space Police, and the pilot for Space Precinct.
