Video Marketing Services

(Early-Mid 1980's)

Logo: On a black background, we see a red filmstrip with "vms" on it, which appears shifting upward. The text "VIDEO MARKETING SERVICES" appears next to it. This would cut to the next screen with the following text:WARNING

THE OWNER RESERVED. UNAUTHORISED

TAPE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. THIS
CASSETTE IS MEANT FOR VIEWING STRICTLY

WARNING IS LIABLE TO BE PROSECUTED. Then it cuts to the next screen with the words in red:PREVIEWS
AFTER FEATURE

Technique: The filmstrip shifting upward, the "Video Marketing Services" appearing, the logo cutting to the warning and "Previews after feature" text.

Audio: A synth tune with a roll start and a synth chord as the text appears, then a synth beat which goes on over and over during the warning screen, and then a guitar riff which echoes at the end during the "Previews after feature" text.

Availability: Spotted on Canadian prints of Moonlighting Mistress.
