'''Visuals:''' A rainbow shoots forth from the left of the screen, as the black background fades to a {{color|blue}} gridded floor with a {{color|red|reddish}} sunset in the background. The rainbow turns into a bronze filmstrip as it spirals toward a smooth ribbon, joining it near the center to form an abstract "M". The filmstrip flashes, and "LES FILMS RENÉ MALO PRÉSENTENT" appears below in a white ITC Avant Garde font. The filmstrip sparkles a little after that. | '''Visuals:''' A rainbow shoots forth from the left of the screen, as the black background fades to a {{color|blue}} gridded floor with a {{color|red|reddish}} sunset in the background.
