KidVision: Difference between revisions

'''KidVision''' started initially as a kids' label of [[WarnerVision Entertainment]] in 1993. KidVision mainly distributed kids movies and TV series, such as ''The Magic School Bus'' and the original VHS release of ''Gumby: The Movie''. In 1997, KidVision moved under [[Warner Home Video]], and continued to distribute videos until 2002, when it and WarnerVision were folded into WHV.

'''Visuals:''' On a gradient white-gray leather background, a chalkboard is seen in the middle of the background. A piece of white chalk then flies up to the left side of the screen and then starts to write out "''Kid Vision''" in a childish hand-written font. Once it finishes writing, the chalk then draws a {{color|red}} rectangular border around the text as a {{color|yellow}} sparkling comet appears from where it started to draw it and sweeps across the text, coloring it like shown: "''{{color|dodgerblue|K}}{{color|green|i}}{{color|gold|d}} {{color|green|V}}{{color|orange|i}}{{color|dodgerblue|s}}{{color|red|i}}{{color|gold|o}}{{color|orange|n}}''". The chalk flies off-screen as it finishes the border.

'''Variant:''' An early version has the print logo on a white background. Compared to the regular logo, its set horizontally straight rather than diagonal, and the border around "''{{color|cyan|K}}{{color|green|i}}{{color|yellow|d}} {{color|green|V}}{{color|orange|i}}{{color|cyan|s}}{{color|red|i}}{{color|yellow|o}}{{color|red|n}}''" is now colored {{color|cyan}}. If the viewer looks closely, a white rectangle can be detected behind the logo.

'''Technique:''' CGI, with 2D animation for the sparkles. The early version is a digital graphic.

'''Audio:''' The chalk pressing against the board and a twinkling sound when the comet flies by. This is sometimes accompanied by the titular Bus's beeping (found on ''The Magic School Bus'' tapes), or a male voice (Victor Caroli) saying "KidVision, a leader in children's entertainment" (found on some ''Kidsongs'' tapes).
