THX: Difference between revisions

* This trailer was <u>remixed in Dolby Digital in 1995</u>. This variant had slight changes. At the start is the Dolby logo, alongside the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Dolby Digital Sound In A THX Theatre'''}}" (in Caslon Open Face font). Later, in the end, the "Recorded in Dolby Digital" logo was added at the left-bottom of the screen (similar to the "Recorded in DTS" end card from Broadway).

'''Visuals:''' On a black background is some white text that reads "This auditorium is equipped with a THX sound system." A few seconds later, the background turns into a {{color|firebrick|dark red}} cloudy background. There are some white text that reads "The Audience Is Listening." After that, the red-black background slowly turns {{color|mediumblue|dark blue}}, somewhat similar to the previous background. Seconds after, a light with lens flares moves upward and a 90° turned THX logo rotates to its front in a {{color|blue}} gradient background, with "LUCASFILM LTD" over and "SOUND SYSTEM" below.

'''Visuals:''' In a darkly-lit environment, we zoom in toward a glassy {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} sphere, which has clouds rolling and lightning flickering. As the environment illuminates is that the sphere is barely hovering over a textured {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} floor. Suddenly, the sphere shatters, and the sky is revealed to contain several rolling {{color|gray}} clouds. The glass then liquefies and gathers in the center. Some lightning strikes it and forms a {{color|silver}} THX logo. If you look closely while the logo forms, you can see rain pouring down. Then, the environment fades to black as "LUCASFILM", spaced out to fit the width of the THX logo, fades in on top of it and a shimmering {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} rectangle (the same one from "Broadway") is drawn clockwise around the logo (like a laser). The logo fades out as the text "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" (à la Broadway) fades in.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background is out-of-focus movie clips on a THX logo. Some of these clips include ''Star Wars: Episode I'', ''Alien'' and ''Jurassic Park''. The logo then starts to shine as the {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} outline from the Broadway trailer appears around the screen and the words "CERTIFIED CINEMA" appear under the THX logo. Everything except the {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} outline fades out and is replaced by the THX website URL on the top, copyright notices on the bottom and the phrase "20 Years of Making Great Movies Come Alive."

'''Visuals:''' On a black background is the metallic outlines of the THX logo fade in. Then the shiny {{color|silver}} color fades inside the THX logo. The THX logo glows and makes a big shine with some sparkles. Then below the THX logo is the disclaimer: "THX and the THX logo are trademarks of THX Ltd., which may be registered in some jurisdictions. All Rights Reserved."

'''Visuals:''' We start out with an octagon shape figure rising out of a {{color|silver}} surface (à la a ripple effect), and forms into another figure, which looks like petals from a flower (it in fact is a {{color|steelblue|blue}} passion flower) because we're looking at it from the top. Inside the "flower" is a crown shape figure that has wings on top of it, slowly spinning around, producing the held organ note sound, as we zoom in on it. Then, the scene changes. We now see another set of wings that also spin around, but faster. A ring is spinning around with it and goes down towards the bottom of the screen, producing the buzzer. And the scene changes again. The same set of wings from the first scene is shown, once again spinning slowly, with shades seen on the left side of the screen. As the scene changes again, a tulip is seen zooming in towards us as it opens up its front, producing the deep brass sound. Then we zoom in on a mushroom as it bumps up a bit and makes drum beats. Then a set of butterflies fly by (with some stopping in the front center of the screen), producing some flapping sound is the flowerhead-like plant with dragonfly wings as petals, it pushes one-by-one clockwise, making dolphin chirping sounds, then we see a lotus seed head opening and closing its holes as it makes a melody played on a glockenspiel. Intact with the drumbeats of the jingle, there is a variety of mushrooms as they "beat" and bump up the drumbeats, and then the scene changes to swirly-like circles that vibrate, as we zoom from one to another, making the bass horn stab. We zoom into another tulip, making another deep brass sound, and suddenly, we fly over all of the above-mentioned items. As the camera tilts toward the front and zooms back is that the plant-covered structure is actually the THX logo. The plants then retract back, revealing the silver color of the logo; this version looks slightly (but also noticeably) different than the other trailers of the past. The logo zooms back as the copyright info fades in on the bottom.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background is this odd speck that talks in a familiar voice to Horton (from ''Horton Hears a Who''; voiced by Jim Carrey). It turns out to be Mayor Ned McDodd (voiced by Steve Carell), the mayor of Whoville, trying to hear him.

Then, the mayor says, "Kinda losing you...", causing Horton to drop the THX logo, and he appears while shouting "How about this?! If I get up real close, can you read me?!" knocking the mayor off-screen, then followed by the Deep Note. Horton then turns to the audience laughing, winks, and then goes off-screen. The THX logo shines as usual. Then the screen transitions to a message reading "THE AUDIENCE IS '''HEAR'''ING" (spoofing the "The Audience is Listening" motto, with "HEAR" in the same font as the movie). On the side of the screen is the mayor peek out of the side of the screen, with his clothes blowing.

* With <u>Razer's acquisition of THX</u>, a few modifications were made to this trailer. First is the text "THX IS EVOLVING" fade in at the beginning of the logo. A few seconds later the text fades out. Another line of text fades in, this time saying "HELLO". Below is Razer's print logo. After the text fades out the trailer continues as normal until the THX logo zooms in to the screen. The text "CERTIFIED BY" wipes in above the logo. The "see you on the other side" slogan is omitted, and the copyright notice fades in during the logo and not after the logo.
