Visuals: The first element shown is a shot of a blue eagle flying on what appears to be a cloudy sky. Another shot of a flying red eagle in the same setting fades in, whereas another shot of a flying green eagle in a cloudy sky place fades in as well. Then we see a purple image of an eagle zooming in, whilst the shot on the background fades out, turning into a white background. The text:

======= VIDEO PRODUCCIONES

abruptly appears in front of the eagle. Then both fade out.

Technique: Live-action for the footage, simple computer animation for the zooming in and the text appearing.

Audio: An excerpt of "New World Symphony" by Antonín Dvořák.
