S.M Production

(1991)


Logo: We see a testcard (Which is hard to tell) with a diamond with what appears to be a weird-looking shape inside of the diamond. It expands to the point to where it covers the screen, revealing the shape including text on a gray background, including yellow & lavender chrome as the background. The shape consists of the company's initials against the map of Cambodia with temples. After a few seconds, the company name in Khmer appears at the top of the shape, while the company name in English appears at the bottom, both in white, forming 2 arches around the symbol. The chrome goes on for about 10 seconds. Then, the diamond shrinks at the end and this time, the background is orange.

Technique: A mix of Grass Valley 300 production switcher effects and video feedback effects.

Audio: An excerpt of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss.

Audio Variant: On Tida Mouk Ngous, the opening theme of the movie plays.

Availability: Only seen on Sno Dombong Pich and Tida Mouk Ngous.
