Background

Mutt Productions is a film production company based in San Antonio and Austin that was founded by Aaron Lee Lopez in 2004.

Logo (September 1, 2016-)

Visuals: Several expanding white bars scroll across the screen from the right before disappearing on the left, revealing a man pointing a film camera towards the camera. Once him and the bars disappeared, multiple vertical bars fall from the top and dissolve on the bottom, unveiling a stylized dog with its ears resembling an "M" with "utt" besides it and "Productions" inside its torso. The canine was formed from smaller falling bars while spinning, curved lines circle it before disappearing. After vanishing, a line underneath the mutt is drawn from the right with the text "MUTT PRODUCTIONS" emerging from it, sliding upwards.

Variants:

  • Early versions of the logo has the line forming the company's website link set to a 70's font and the dog being smaller.
  • On Teenage Girl: Valerie's Holiday, the logo is in a light yellow color.
  • On Teenage Vampire, the logo is magenta.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A loud whoosh when the vertical bars emerge and then a slash when the line forming the website draws in. As the latter fades out, a storm rumble is heard.

Audio Variants:

  • On Colossal Youth, the sounds comprise of alternate whooshes including electric ones.
  • Some films simply have the opening of the movie play over.
  • On Teenage Vampire, a bowling ball is heard rolling and knocking down pins.
Availability: Current; seen on films they have made from this period starting with Gino's Wife.
