First Run Video

Logo (1989-1999)


Visuals: On a starry sky background, a icy blue valley with mountains (looking like the Arctic) zoom in towards the screen, with thick, foggy bluish clouds moving overhead. Panning into outer space, the words "First Run Video" swipe in from the left one by one, all in capital letters so that it looks like this: FIRST RUN VIDEO Finally, four thin lines swipe in from the right, underlining all the words.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A dramatic synthesized keyboard fanfare. One long note is held out while the camera pans through the valley, and then a reverse cymbal is heard right before the camera pans up. As the words swipe in, we hear a fast 12-note theme with the last note held out.

Availability: Can be seen on some 1997-1999 tapes of the Canadian children's show The Big Comfy Couch.
