Pissanos International Film Producers & Distributors

Background

Pissanos serves as a production and distribution company; it was set up by writer, producer, stage designer, artist and Nobel Prize nominee Paul Pissanos.

(2000s)

Logo: We see space with stars scattered through it. The camera zooms out. It later slowly moves downwards, simultaneously, and a statue of a man holding a rotating Earth globe with his index finger, appears. Then, it zooms out some more, as two spotlights in the bottom left and right corners of the screen, which rotate in a 90 degree angle, horizontally, and light up the statue, are seen. There is also the following written underneath the statue:

FX/SFX: The globe and the spotlights rotating.

Music/Sounds: A slowed down version of a snippet from John Williams' Superman theme with some synth whooshes added.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on all low-budget cartoon DVDs carrying the Pissanos logo (as well as some reprints by The Penwest Company), as well as DVDs of Mondo TV shows and Pissanos' documentaries, by Arcadia Entertainment.

Editor’s Note: None.
