After about two seconds, a paintbrush appears on screen and follows the filmstrip until it goes off screen. After the filmstrip goes off screen, the paintbrush paints a straight multicolored line with small squares on each side, making the line look like a filmstrip. The paintbrush then zooms across the area below the line, going off screen and creating the text "PRISM PICTURES." The letters of the text spin around a few times, and then stop. Finally, the smoke in the background turns <font color="#9c19bd">purple</font> for a second, and then disappears, leaving the background completely <font color="#000000">black.</font> <br/><br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: The animated filmstrip, paintbrush, and letters.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: A fancy-sounding fanfare with tube sounds and xylophone sounds.<br/><br/><u>Availability</u>: Used in film production.
