Seiko Films

Background: Seiko Films is a Philippine film company owned and run by Robbie Tan, known for its bold films of the late 90's. It started in 1984, with the movie Goodah!, and later became one of the most known Philippine film productions companies from the late 1980's, along with Regal Films and VIVA Films. In the early 1990's, the company moved to adult film production, which caused suspension in 2007. Seiko FIlms is in hiatus as of the moment.

Note: This brand has nothing to do with other brands starting with "Seiko" (e.g. Seiko Holdings, Seiko Epson)

2nd Logo

(1986-2005?)

Nicknames: "Grid And Pictures", "Director's Grid"

Logo: On a black background, a white grid zooms out, while rotating a bit to the right. Meanwhile, a picture of a film production team zooms out and stops behind the grid. Another picture (also related to film production) slides in and stops behind the grid, obscuring the first picture. Another related picture slides in and obscures the 2nd picture. Then ANOTHER picture of a director pointing to the white words "SEIKO FILMS" (which has a blue glow) slides on the entire screen, obscuring the grid & picture that's behind it. This picture goes away and we see the same grid, but with a different picture behind. The outlined word "SEIKO" and "SEIKO FILMS INC." (the company's name being more smaller than the single word) appears and goes to the center. Few seconds later, "SEIKO" starts to glow, making the grid & picture fade out and the word fill into a blue/black gradient color. The word shines.

Variants:


 * A short version also exists.
 * There's also a version which features a more blue-ish background.FX/SFX: The grid zooming out, the pictures sliding, the texts appearing, the glow, and shining.

Music/Sounds: An ascending orchestral note, followed by a few synth notes, then a majestic fanfare. A chime is heard when the word glows. For the short version, a shorter version of the fanfare is heard, along with a different chime.

Availability: Scarce. So far seen on some Filipino films, especially adult ones. Examples include Patikim Ng Pinya, Machete 2, Nang Gabing Mamulat Si Eba, and Sariwa.

Editor's Note:None.
