One of them gets too close to the camera, so the background turns black. The word "moNgreL" draws in and zooms out, Behind it a gray box fades in, and the URL "www.mongrelmedia.com" fades in.
Technique: Seems to be paint animation.
Audio: A three-note piano tune, ending with a low bass note when the company name zooms out.
