.png)
Visuals: On a space background, there is a blue metallic filmstrip. The sprocket holes disappear and the shape positions itself. A blue, small, thin line quickly passes through the shape, making a metallic line appear, forming a lowercase letter "f". The word "FILMAYER" appears letter by letter. The word "VIDEO" then zooms in towards the screen, and settles beneath the word "FILMAYER".
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on Who are Pixie and Dixie? before the Turner and Hanna-Barbera logos.
