Background
An independent label, formed by Salvatore Richichi in 1986, that released a couple of dozen bad films (on purpose) in the mid-to-late 80's and then disappeared, only to resurface in 2007 (rebranded as Camp Motion Pictures) to release more 80's Shot-On-Video (SOV) horror films on DVD.
1st Logo (1986-1990s)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Camp_Video_%281986%29.jpg&width=350)
![]() | The video of this logo may be too loud or severely distorted. |
Visuals: On a space background, a sprite of a cartoony-looking Earth is seen in the lower middle of the screen, with a green sun on the left. A yellow comet then emerges from the center of North America (roughly around the middle of Texas) and orbits around the Earth, returning as a much larger comet on its first revolution. Then, the giant light blue chrome letters "CAMP then emerges from behind the Earth and settles just to the top left of the Earth, with a large amount of fragments surrounding the logo (in actuality, its supposed to be 3 bars stretching across behind the text, as the logo is chroma-keyed and tinted blue). When it settles, the text "V I D E O" fades in to the bottom right of it, along with the tagline "YOUR TICKET TO THE FUTURE!" below it.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: The Stuka siren from the "Ju 87 dive bomber", cut off by the roar of a jet or rocket fly-by when "CAMP" appears.
Availability: This appeared on a lot of awful B-movies, many within the "SOV" subgenre. These include VHS releases of Video Violence and Woodchipper Massacre. Their releases are very hard to find and in high demand due to their rarity.
Legacy: The logo is rather infamous among the logo community due to the audio.
2nd Logo (2007)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Camp_Motion_Pictures_%282007%29.jpg&width=350)
Visuals: There is a rotating Earth in space, in front of a slowly-moving star field and subtly moving clouds in the background. A flying saucer emerges from the foreground and begins shooting lazers at the Earth. After spinning around the Earth a few times (continually shooting it with lazers), the Earth splits open, revealing a mouth that eats the flying saucer. The words "CAMP MOঢ↑ON P↑CঢURES" (with instances of "I" and "T" replaced with arrows) zooms forward, and wobbles briefly before stopping. Beneath this text, "www.CampMotionPictures.com" fades in below.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Unknown.
Availability: Seen on post-2007 releases from the company, which can be found on DVD.
Legacy: The cartoonish CGI (which is surprisingly professional) helps play up the silliness and tone down the spookiness. By extension, this is a much tamer (and funnier) logo than its previous iteration.
