IRIB TV4

Background
IRIB TV4 is one of the 32 national television channels in Iran founded in 1994.

(1996?- 2000s?)


Visuals: We see the paws of a leopard walking along the ground. We then see shots of the leopard walking in a jungle. It then goes to a body of water to take a drink. We then see shots of it panting, including an extreme close-up of its mouth, and then walking again, with another shot of its paws. As the footage slows down, we see a close-up of the leopard's spots. They all turn into the company logo, a circular ribbon of sorts. The screen then flashes multiple times and the logos spread out to reveal a singular black logo on a background with Farsi text "تماشا و تفکر همزمان " underneath.

Trivia: The footage of the leopard is taken from a BBC documentary.

Technique: Live-action and stop-motion.

Audio: A proud, bombastic fanfare with sneaky-sounding metal tune.
