Visuals: The sequence opens to a shot of smog billowing from both corners of the screen. A black-and-white clip of the New York City skyline (with the Brooklyn Bridge) fades into view. As the smog fades out, there is a red dot appear out of nowhere, flashing bigger and bigger, followed by alternating flashes of text placed horizontally on opposite sides of the screen. The shot of New York City soon disappears along with the red dot. The flashing text stops also and we are left with the words "STRAND RELEASING" in opposite colors ("STRAND in white lettering on a long black rectangle placed on the white part of the background; "RELEASING" in black lettering on a long white rectangle placed on the black part of the background). Smog appears again, and the logo fades out.
