Video Marketing Services

Logo (Early-Mid 1980's)

Visuals: On a black background, there is 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

Technique: Chyron effects.

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.
