'''Trailer''' | '''Trailer:''' We start on a black background, where all of a sudden, a giant, a gold optical disc (meant to represent a CD, though it can also be interpreted as a laserdisc or a DVD) zooms out from the hole. When it stops, the gray word "the" zooms close and then moves back. The stylized blue word "digital" does the same, followed by a silver bar rectangle reading "experience" that flies out. After the logo forms, the whole thing explodes into various particles, which then turns into "d," "t," and "s", followed by the appearance of a blue box around the DTS text. Above the DTS blue box are the words "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" in orange. Finally, the word "DIGITAL" zooms out above the blue box, and the word "SOUND" zooms out below the box, all in white font. | ||

'''FX/SFX''' | '''FX/SFX:''' The disc zooming out at the viewer, the individual words followed by the dissolving; the appearance of "DTS" and "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" text followed by the zoom out of the "DIGITAL SOUND" text. All in fine quality and in CGI, created by Richard "Doc" Baily (Image Savant) with Alias Wavefront on an SGI workstation. | ||
'''Music/Sounds''' | '''Music/Sounds:''' First, there is a laser sound leading into a boom mixed with the electricity zap, followed by a whoosh with another boom and zap, and then another whoosh with a boom and zap. This is followed by a loud phaser sound alongside an explosion, and there are twinkles heard alongside more whooshes, a whir when "DIGITAL" and "SOUND" appear, and a loud descending drone at the end. | ||
