'''Visuals:''' | '''Visuals:''' The sequence starts with an {{color|orange}} background, which the camera quickly pans out to reveal that it's part of a large scribble resembling a tornado on a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} space. Lightning strikes a spot on it as a rough black pillar with a diagonally-cut top, starts to rise from the ground, electricity surrounding the pillar as well. The camera continues to rotate and tilt upwards as the pillar causes bolts of lightning to shoot out from it, summoning two more pillars that resemble itself to rise out and conduct more electricity. As the camera settles into place, more bolts from outside of the screen come in before one final bolt shoots across the screen, producing a white flash and transforming the three pillars into a 2D drawing, their shadows forming "'''VVL'''". Then three more small bolts come down to strike the white text "VISION VIDEO LTD.", which just faded in, to slightly cause them to shine, and the last bits of electricity die down. | ||
