Pratap Art Productions

(1973, 1982-1990)

Logo: We see the sky being brightened up by flashes of lighthning, as the camera pans down and we see a model of a knight on horseback carrying a spear-like weapon, below a turntable. A sunburst pattern then appears on the background, as the turntable spins and shows the knight on the front as the lights turn up. "PRATAP ART PRODUCTIONS" then fades in at the bottom, being transparently shown.

Technique: The lightning effects, the turntable spinning, the text fading in. Most of it is live-action.

Music/Sounds: The loud sounds of the thunder at the beginning, followed by a tribal Indian theme with a flute melody once the text fades in.

Availability: Seen on Samsaram Saagaram, Intlo Rammaiah Veedhilo Krishnaiah, Tarangini and Ankitham.

Legacy: The lightning at the beginning could be a problem for most people at first, but the rest of the logo makes it tamer since the music is groovy and the animation has its slow pace, despite being quite dark.
