Draft:Troisième chaîne de l'ORTF

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum



ID (December 31, 1972-1975)


Visuals: The ident starts with a field of stars on a blue background, which zooms in. The stars then change to the ORTF logo and the background becomes white. It then turns into the letters "c3". The camera then zooms in on one of them while circles appear from behind and stripes appear to the right. It then zooms in on the above space of the "3", showing the word "couleur". After that the logo gets a perspective. It cuts into a white field full of "c3" logos showing the word "couleur". Then the background turns blue with a few lines on the side. Then, the second "u" moves to the first one, forming a "3". After that the "o" loses a stripe and becomes a "c". Then it zooms in again while circles appear from behind and the text "3e chaîne couleur" in white appears next to the "c3".

Variant: There is a closedown variant where the logo plays in reverse.

Technique: Cel-animation.

Audio: Starts off with a rising upbeat 12-note chorded piano theme, sounding much like music that would underscore a training montage in an old sports film, accompanied by cymbals, hi-hats, and a bass section. This phrase then repeats, but in a higher key. A jazzy drumline kicks in, seguing into a B-section led by chimes (possibly in 17/8 time), as the rhythms in the bass and drums briefly become more complex. The 12-note piano theme from earlier then returns, now with the chimes playing along, followed by two final notes in yet another key.
