Background

Film Group was a film production in India.

Logo (March 25, 1988-January 12, 1990)

Visuals: On a black background, a abstract "FG" zooms out one letter after another leaving a trail. A flash appears, and the "F" turns blue and the "G" yellow. Two beams of light then scan down, leaving a filmstrip as "FILM GROUP" fades in. The inside of the filmstrip turns green, pink and orange, with the colors appearing one by one. The text then starts to glow as the "FG" and filmstrip shine.

Technique: A mix of backlit animation and scanimate.

Audio: Several strums of a swarmandal and then two hits of a bell.

Audio Trivia: The bell audio is taken from a praying scene in Shiva Shakti.

Audio Variant: On Shiva Shakti, it starts with a synthesized glissando that echoes, and then a new-age synth theme that plays twice with the first note being played again at the end.

Availability: Seen on Shiva Shakti and Taqdeer Ka Tamasha.
