Visuals: Beneath a red tint background with a strip of sparkling musical sheet notes flying is crystals & music notes, we then see yellow & white lights move left to right, the company's name in English then rotate transitionally. It then cuts to the company's name in Amharic and the logo. Beneath is a dark aqua background with light turquoise lights and white musical notes flying towards the screen. It then cuts to a peaceful yellow background with a copyright logo on it. On it shows the disclaimer: "ይሀንን ፊልም የስባስቤቱ ፈቃድ ማሳተምም ሆነ አባዝቶ መስጥ በህግ ያስቀማል። (Publishing or reselling this film without the owner's permission is prohibited by law.) in red". The scene is then changed to the red-tint background in it's full opacity, it then shows the website & executive producer name in white. The words "ETHIOPIA - USA - CANADA - UK - AUSTRALIA - ISRAEL" in yellow fade from the right, and the telephone numbers fade from the left.
