Productora Internacional del Video

(1984)


Logo: On a black background, we see 4 differently colored spark alternating in this pattern: green, purple, red, and yellow. Once the first yellow spark ignites, we see the logo spinning clockwise with some blur. The logo slows down, and it's revealed to be a couple of ovals, one outlining the other, along with a jaguar, whose foot is on the outlined "P", which is next to "I" and "V". Under it, we see "Productora Interacional del Video" in white text. Once the logo settles, "PRESENTA" in red text starts to flash on and off. The sparks keep alternating the same pattern until the logo fades to black

Technique: Likely scanimate.

Music/Sounds: Beeping noises, then a long whoosh when the logo spins, and finally some descending boops and rings.

Availability: Extinct; it was seen on Spanish VHSes of foreign films such as No Place to Hide, The Great McGonagall, Piefke, der Schrecken der Kompanie, Un genio, due compari, un pollo, among others.

Legacy: The synth theme, the darkness, "PRESENTA" blinking, and the "sun" can potentially scare many people. The spinning panther might also make you dizzy, counting the speed it spins at.
