The '''Sony Pictures High Definition Center''' was a division of [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]] that provided high-resolution imagery scans. Not much is known about it, other than that it provided high-res image scans of the 1992 [[Columbia Pictures]] torch lady and [[TriStar Pictures]] pegasus that were used for the 2001 [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] logo. |

'''Visuals:''' First, a white dot with some small lights flying (presumably taken from the opening of the 1st [[Sony Dynamic Digital Sound]] trailer) is shown on a black background. Then, the following live-action and/or CGI clips cut or crossfade in: |
|||
*A timelapse of what appears to be a mountain. |
|||
*What appears to be a vortex that the camera goes through. |
|||
*A cannon firing, followed by three soldiers jumping away from a cloud of smoke caused by an explosion. |
|||
*A timelapse of what appears to be a highway. |
|||
*A woman with what appears to be a magazine. The magazine is pulled away as the camera zooms in and pans up to show the woman's face. |
|||
*What appears to be a man sliding across water that splashes in slow-motion. |
|||
*A zoom-in on a man in sunglasses driving a convertible with a woman seated next to him. The two look at each other. |
|||
*Four people being "sucked" into the ground while what appear to be sparks flash. This then cuts to a shot of just the ground as a bicycle helmet falls down and lands, then spins. |
|||
*The camera going down, then up a rail. |
|||
*A zoom-in on what appears to be a courtroom, with what looks like a police officer walking by and two hands in the background. A man is also shown calling someone on a telephone. |
|||
*Another shot of a mountain, this time with the camera zooming up. There is also a lake and what appears to be a forest. |
|||
*The camera zooming in on a man who is talking. A dog, presumably owned by the man, is sitting next to him. |
|||
*A slow-motion shot of the camera panning up someone's face. |
|||
*A colorful background with someone swinging their hair. |
|||
*A woman smiling, with a man next to her. |
|||
*A black-and-white shot of a woman with her hair flowing in the wind, staring at something offscreen. A man is next to the woman and another person emerges from offscreen on the left. |
|||
*Finally, a shot of the woman's eyes, which are {{color|blue}}, as a white light shines. The light then brightens, coering almost the entire woman's face, including one of her eyes. |
|||
Then, it fades to a black background with a cube projecting a clip showing someone on a background divided into two halves, {{color|red}} and {{color|gold|yellow}}. Many lights shoot at the cube and hit it as the camera turns and zooms in, and the clip begins to rapidly change colors. The camera enters the cube, and the screen turns white briefly before the inside of the cube is shown, revealing that it has four layers inside, each playing the same clip. The lights go through the layers as the camera flies by, panning around in the process, and many spheres of various colors fly through the layers as well. When the camera reaches the last layer, it turns again and pulls back, revealing the cube again, with the clip playing in a total of five layers. The lights are shown to be emitting from the bottom left, going inside the cube, and the spheres, now colored {{color|red}}, {{color|orange}} and {{color|gold|yellow}}, are flying out through the front. The camera then stops at an angle, and the layers compress themselves into the front layer, which fades to a {{color|blue}} square with a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} gradient on the top-right. The lights turn 2D during this, as do some of the spheres, which arrange themselves in four rows of six. The now-2D spheres each go from {color|red}} to {{color|red}}-{{color|orange}} gradient, {{color|orange}}, {{color|orange}}-{{color|gold|yellow}} gradient, and {{color|gold|yellow}}. When the layers of the cube fully compress into the square, a particle effect occurs as the rest of the spheres disappear. The particle effect turns the background white, with the square, lights (which are now just black-{{color|gray}}-white gradient lines with their ends invisible) and spheres contained within a black rectangle. Part of the top and bottom of the square protude through the rectangle. Then, underneath the rectangle, the following words flip in letter-by-letter: |
|||
<center>{{color|gray|{{Big|'''SONY PICTURES'''}}}}</center> |
|||
As "{{color|gray|'''SONY PICTURES'''}}" finishes flipping in, the following words flip in letter-by-letter below: |
|||
<center>{{color|gray|{{Small|'''HIGH DEFINITION CENTER'''}}}}</center> |
|||
This forms the following: |
|||
<center>{{color|gray|{{Big|'''SONY PICTURES'''}}<br>{{Small|'''HIGH DEFINITION CENTER'''}}}}</center> |
|||
Once the words are formed, a diagonal line of sparkles wipe across the words from left to right. Afterward, a line draws between the words. Text-wise, the end result is this: |
|||
<center>{{color|gray|{{Big|'''SONY PICTURES'''}}<br>-----------------------------<br>{{Small|'''HIGH DEFINITION CENTER'''}}}}</center> |
|||
The finished product stays onscreen for a couple of seconds before slowly fading to black. |
|||
'''Technique:''' Live-action and CGI. |

'''Audio:''' A pop-rock tune plays, starting with a held-out note and a synth hit. After this, while the music plays, a male announcer says "Widening horizons, providing a portal of opportunity. Whenever, however, the mind's eye could see. Sony Pictures High Definition Center, the gateway to new possibilities in imaging. The digital gateway to the future." After he finishes, another note is heard, followed by another synth hit. The rest of the logo is silent. |

This is my sandbox. Here, I can make pages for mainspace without having to make draft articles (alternatively, I can import contents from here into draft pages as well).
79th & York Entertainment
Broken Saw
Background
This is an American television production company.
Logo (September 23, 2013-February 29, 2020)
Visuals: Unknown
Variant: Unknown
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The sound of a train quickly going through tracks, what sounds like a train whistle and a gunshot-like sound.
Availability: Seen on Lauren Lake's Paternity Court and Couples Court with the Cutlers.
NFL Productions Copyright Bumper
Background
This bumper is used by the National Football League for its televised games.
Bumper (September 2019-)
Visuals: The bumper starts with archive footage of a Kansas City Chiefs player running with a football, leaving a trail. Then, the camera zoom-cuts to a further angle as we see:
- A player from a unknown team (likely the Cleveland Browns) running and avoiding a opposing player.
- A Chicago Bears player running while holding a football.
- A player likely from the Las Vegas Raiders running.
- A player likely from the Minnesota Vikings running and getting "grabbed," for lack of a better term.
- A Philadelphia Eagles(?) player being held by a opposing player and spinning away from him.
- A Los Angeles Chargers player running and avoiding a opposing player who tries to grab him.
- A player (either from the New England Patriots or the Buffalo Bills) running to the left.
- A Miami Dolphins player dodging opposing players.
- A Dallas Cowboys player running while avoiding multiple opposing players.
- Finally, a New York Jets player running as the opponents disappear.
Each of the players change in different ways. When the fourth player appears, the following words appears below:
A gold outline of the NFL shield appears as the copyright notice disappears and the footage glitches out, turning the background black. The NFL logo glitches in and transforms through glitching effects into older NFL logos while zooming out until it stops with the current logo in its regular color scheme of red, white and blue.
Variants:
- For its first season (2019-2020), at the end, the bumper cuts to a gold NFL100 logo.
- Starting in 2023, the final glitching effects are slower.
Technique: Live-action and CGI.
Audio: Some percussion ending with static sound effects as a male announcer says the following: "This broadcast is copyrighted by NFL Productions for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this broadcast or any pictures, descriptions or accounts of the game without the consent of NFL Productions is prohibited."
Audio Variant: The 2023 variant removes the static sounds at the end, replacing them with a "ding" and a held-out note.
Availability: Seen on all televised NFL games since September 2019. On CBS, it is typically played during the third quarter, while all other networks play it before the third quarter.
Video Buddy
Broken Saw
Background
This was an interactive VHS system released in the late 1990s.
Logo (Late 1990s-Early 2000s?)
Visuals: Unknown
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Unknown
Availability: Seen at the end of VHS tapes released for the Video Buddy, including those of The Big Comfy Couch and Dinobabies.
Cerveza Cristal
Background
Registered in 1977 and launched commercially in 1978, Cerveza Cristal is a Chilean brand of pilsner beer sold by Compañía de Cervecerías Unidas (CCU). It was originally known as Pilsener Cristal; its current name was introduced in 1993, along with the motto "Única, Grande y Nuestra". The brand has become best-known for a series of television commercials known as The Force is with Cristal Beer (La Fuerza está con Cerveza Cristal), which were inserted into broadcasts of the original Star Wars trilogy on Canal 13 in December 2003; the commercials were inserted in such a way that they appeared to be continuations of scenes from the films. The campaign became an internet meme in March 2024 after video clips of the original commercials were posted online[1] and has led to parody edits into other movies and media, usually within intense scenes. A similar ad campaign, Breaking Zapping (Rompiendo el Zapping), was used between February and March 2004, with new commercials inserted as continuations of scenes during the broadcasts of six other films broadcast on Canal 13.
Tag (December 2003-March 2004)
Visuals: Inserted into the end of the commercials, the then-current Cerveza Cristal logo fades in. It consists of a green circle with "C E R V E Z A" in an arc on top and a yellow ribbon with "CRISTAL", in black, near the bottom. At the bottom, there is "CCU". The logo slowly zooms in while the background blurs.
Variant:
- On the commercials in the Force is with Cristal Beer campaign, the background fades out after a few seconds, leaving just the logo on a black background.
- The timing of the logo's appearance varies. For instance, on one of the commercials in the Force is with Cristal Beer campaign, the logo fades in as the chanting in the jingle ends. On the two Breaking Zapping commercials that have been found thus far, the logo fades in after the second uttering of the brand's name.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: The brand's characteristic jingle. It begins with a held-out electric guitar note and a man with a slight accent saying "¡CERVEZA CRI-I-I-I-ISTAL!" This is followed by a short medley played on the electric guitar accompanied by unintelligible chanting from a group of men and women. After the chanting ends, the man says "¡CERVEZA CRISTAL!" Finally, another held-out electric guitar note plays and fades out. The jingle begins over the actual commercial before the tag even begins.
Audio Variant: On at least the commercials in the Force is with Cristal Beer campaign featuring a can of the beer, the jingle fades in at the chanting.
Availability: This was attached to the end of the Force is with Cristal Beer and Breaking Zapping commercials. Four full-length commercials from the Force is with Cristal Beer campaign (two inserted into Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, one inserted into Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and one inserted into Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi; a fifth commercial, also inserted into A New Hope, does exist but hasn't been found in its entirely) have been uncovered, as were two commercials from the Breaking Zapping campaign (respectively inserted into The Wedding Singer and As Good as It Gets; the other movies included in the campaign were Never Been Kissed, Notting Hill, American Beauty and Gladiator).
