OddLot Entertainment

Background

OddLot Entertainment was the production company of Gigi Pritzker and Deborah Del Prete, founded in 2001 (it didn't get an onscreen logo until 2005). In 2015, OddLot became a subsidiary of Madison Wells Media, and folded into it in Summer 2017.

Visuals:

• Normal version: The logo starts in the CinemaScope ratio. The camera moves through clouds to reveal a desert, then moves quickly around a tree that is seen on one of the dunes from a big distance. A black box outline appears around the tree, turning the logo into 16:9. "OddLoT" is seen in the top of the box with "ENTERTAINMENT" in the bottom.
• Ominous version: The box takes a larger part of the screen, "Dark" replaces "Odd" and the logo turns into nighttime with a moon once the box zooms out. The leaves on the tree suddenly change into bats that fly off.

Variants:

• On Cinemascope films, the ratio doesn't change once the box zooms out.
• On The Spirit and Green Street Hooligans 2: Stand Your Ground, the DarkLot variant is shown but with the "OddLot" text.
• Starting with Mortdecai in 2015, the animation is enhanced with a different tree and a glass box that flashes and flips around to reveal a print version of the tree with a line, and the same "OddLoT" name with "ENTERTAINMENT" in a different font. Outside the glass box, some clouds are seen moving.
• On season 1 of Genius named Einstein, the logo is sped up and shares the screen with the EUE/Sokolow Entertainment logo.

Technique: CGI by Brian Castleforte and Greg Reynard for Kaleidoscope Films. The "DarkLot" variant was done by Guts vs Glory, while the 2015 version was done by PIC Collective.

Audio: A humming theme with a single bell and a calm piano piece afterwards, accompanied by whooshes when the dunes are passed. The theme was composed by Terry Devine-King.

Audio Variant: The DarkLot version also has a thunder sound when the leaves transform, bats squeaking, and a creak.

Availability:

• The OddLot version is seen on Green Street, Draft Day, From Prada to Nada, and Suburban Girl, among other films.
• The DarkLot version only appeared on Buried Alive, Undead or Alive, and Living Hell.
• The DarkLot/OddLot version only appeared on The Spirit and Green Street Hooligans 2: Stand Your Ground.
