Maryland Film Office

Logo (January 18, 1998)


Visuals: On a pink gradient background, an outlined white map of Maryland draws in. It flashes and fills with white, later leaving light rays and revealing a maroon circle as the camera moves upwards, revealing what appears to be a sepia city skyline, shaped into a cylinder. Black squares with golden frame on them and the words "OVIE ADE IN ARYLAND" spin around word by word, as light rays form the letter "M" on them. The camera zooms out, and a golden rounded rectangle flies in to fill in the golden film reel, as red, blue and yellow bars slide around it. The film reel zooms out to reveal a brown gradient background, and a white rectangle slides in from the right, as a black curved word "MARYLAND" slides in from above. A black word "FILM" slides in from below the rectangle, and a white word "office" slides in from above. White words "Thanks to the members of the Maryland film industry, our citizens, neighbors and businesses." fade in below.

Technique: Computer animation and CGI.

Audio: A short piano piece, followed by a whoosh and leading to the triumphant tune and whooshes as the words spin around. An ascending synth note is heard after that, accompanied by a chime tune and ending with 2 drum hits.

Availability: Seen on Divine Trash.
