Background
In 1986, following the death of Filmways co-founder Mark Josem, Filmways Australasian Distributors and its home video unit Filmways Home Video was renamed to Filmpac Holdings, with the home video unit adopting the Filmpac Video name. The home video unit became independent from Vestron Video in 1988 due to Vestron facing troubles, and ENT Ltd. took a stake in the company. The company folded soon after in 1990.

Visuals: On a beige concrete background, a gold-colored laser carves out the word "FILMPAC" in a wide Western-esque font from left to right, along with a underline from right to left, leaving brief white imprints before they fade away. After it finishes carving the text, a light blue trail swoops up and settles underneath "FILMPAC", causing both to flash and fill the former with gold, with the trail revealing itself to be "MORE MOVIE MAGIC" in a white Rockwell font.
Technique: CGI and backlit animation.
Audio: A dramatic synth sounder with the crackling/buzzing of the laser. A "whoosh" sound is heard when "MORE MOVIE MAGIC" zooms out, followed by a metallic clanging noise and a deep held note.
Availability: This can be found on PAL tapes released in Australia and New Zealand by this company, such as Dream Date, Vampire Knights, The Father Clements Story, Homer and Eddie, The Cotton Club, Boundaries of the Heart among others. It was also seen on theatrical prints of Filmpac's releases in Australia and New Zealand, like Dirty Dancing, but home video prints cut it out.
