'''Logo:''' On a background resembling a red curtain, we see the TVA logo zooming out. Then the yellow sphere from the logo detaches from it leaving a claquette formed of the red rectangle and the blue square. The yellow sphere fades out, and the claquette pops open to show a camera lens with little purple squares around and a black person shadow walking. As the red background turns to purple, the shadow turns into a surfer and the squares grow to fit around a square resembling a screen.

Background: Prior to 1994, the TVA network used different intros for airing movies. Starting in September of that year, however TVA was asked to use a single intro for all their movie presentation on the network. Starting in 2006, these intros are no longer used.

1st Logo (September 1994-August 1998)

Nickname: "The Camera Lens"

Logo: On a background resembling a red curtain, we see the TVA logo zooming out. Then the yellow sphere from the logo detaches from it leaving a claquette formed of the red rectangle and the blue square. The yellow sphere fades out, and the claquette pops open to show a camera lens with little purple squares around and a black person shadow walking. As the red background turns to purple, the shadow turns into a surfer and the squares grow to fit around a square resembling a screen. The screen zooms in a little bit, and either CINÉ-EXTRA, CINÉ-FAMILLE, CINÉ-MAXIMUM, CINÉ-LUNE or CINÉ WEEK-END (depending on the movie aired on the network) zoom out to complete the logo.

Variant: When a movie airing on TVA was presented by the NEON brand car from Chrysler, a variant was used. The logo is completing as usual but with a change: "CINÉMA" zooms out and the NEON car logo flashes underneath it.

Music/Sounds:

  • All intros except CINÉ-LUNE: a bombastic keyboard tune. Electric sounds added on the CINÉMA NEON variant.
  • CINÉ-LUNE: same theme as the first variant, but rearranged with flute and chromatic percussion.

Availability: Seen before and after every movie airing on TVA during that era. Check your home tapes.

The words CINÉ zooms out and takes position on a green background with filmstrips in it. To complete the logo, either the white Times New Roman words Extra, Famille, Dimanche, Lune appear under CINÉ.

Variant: When a movie is presented during CINÉMA EXTRÊME, the ending is different.

Music/Sounds/Voiceover: Voices saying Moteur, Attention! Ça va rouler! Silence sur le plateau!, Action! and COUPEZ!, followed by a 8-note electronic synthesiser tune.
