Visuals: On a brown background illuminated by fire, four horses are running. They then turn right as the camera focuses on the hooves of the front horse. The screen then pans out to see the words "BREAKTHRU FILMS", both enclosed in a box with "FILMS" being filled everywhere except the text. Sparks of fire fly upwards.
Technique: Hand-painted animation.
Audio: The horses galloping, accompanied by a tribal chant and fire crackling.
Availability: First seen on Loving Vincent, and recently seen on The Peasants.
