THX: Difference between revisions

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a {{color|#0556af|blue}} outline of a rectangle. The {{color|gray}} text "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|The Audience is Listening}}'''" (in the Archive Modern II Open font) fades inside the outline, then fades out. A few seconds later, the THX logo in silver appears, The {{color|#0556af|blue}} rectangle outline fades out, and the Lucasfilm Ltd. tagline from before (now in Futura) appears in their respective positions above and below. The THX logo shines.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a small, white-outlined box containing a {{color|gray}} gradient background appears in the center of the screen. Then, the hand of a conductor, holding a baton, moves up in the box. The hand flicks the baton, blasting out a {{color|#77c3ec|blue}} "hyperspace" far larger than the box that slowly turns {{color|#89170d|red}}. Once the screen zooms through the other end of the wormhole, there is a silver THX logo slowly zoom towards the camera, against a {{color|#412021|dark red}} abyss. After a cooldown for a few seconds, text reading "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''The Audience is Listening'''}}" fades in, in the same font and color used in "Broadway"; followed by a subtitle reading "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Lucasfilm Ltd. Sound System'''}}", along with a copyright notice at the bottom right of the screen, and what appears to be the Dolby "Spectral Recording" logo at the bottom left.

* On <u>LaserDisc releases starting with [https://youtu.be/8dSIcaKa5Ek?t=74 ''Highlander: Director's Cut'']</u>, the hyperspeed boost is removed. The text "{{Font|Arial|Mastered and duplicated for optimal video and audio performance}}" fades in on the {{color|#412021|dark red}} abyss, which transitions to the THX logo zooming in. Once the logo moves past the camera, the THX LaserDisc logo from "Broadway" fades and zooms inside the silver outlined rectangle. The THX LaserDisc logo and the silver outlined rectangle shine. This was used until 1999.

'''Visuals:''' There is a {{color|gray}}, lifeless THX logo. Tex the robot, from the previous trailer, drops down from the top of the screen, and shows the viewer a cow-in-a-can toy. He flips it over, but the mooing sound is very faint, and he shrugs. He flies to the THX logo in the background, opens the same hatch in the "X" as his previous trailer, and then pulls out a cable from it. He then returns with the can and holds the cable up with his opposite hand, revealing it to have a plug, and plugs it into the can. Tex flips the can again and more realistic mooing sounds were heard, as the THX logo turns silver and starts to rise up from the middle of the screen to its usual position nearly at the top and shines. Tex smiles and nods when suddenly the THX logo begins to rumble and shake, as if a stampede of cows were heard. Tex sees this, jumps back in surprise, and he nervously flies off with the can and the plug. The cable causes the logo to jolt to its left side for a moment before the plug disconnects from the can, putting the logo back to its normal position. The cable is pulled back into the logo, the hatch closes, and like the last trailer, the black screen with the text "The Audience is Listening" and a copyright info under it falls to the screen.

'''Visuals:''' In a darkly-lit environment, the camera zooms in toward a glassy {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} sphere, which has clouds rolling and lightning flickering. The environment illuminates, showing 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 is forms a silver THX logo. If one looks closely while the logo forms, one 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).

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

* At the beginning of <u>a retail demo video on THX-certified LG TVs</u>, the metallic outlines fade in quicker, the shiny silver color fades in slower, and the shine of the THX logo isn't as bright. On the alternate HD variant, the logo is {{color|palegreen|light green}}, mostly due to color grading from the digital intermediate process.

'''Visuals:''' The sequence starts out with an octagon shape figure rising out of a 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 the screen zooms in on it. Then, the scene changes. Following this is 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 the camera as it opens up its front, producing the deep brass sound. Then the screen zooms 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 there is 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 the screen zooms from one to another, making the bass horn stab. The screen zooms into another tulip, making another deep brass sound, and suddenly, the camera flies 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 deep cloudy background, there is a light tunnel of many {{color|red|r}}{{color|orange|a}}{{color|yellow|i}}{{color|limegreen|n}}{{color|dodgerblue|b}}{{color|mediumorchid|o}}{{color|hotpink|w}} colors as well as a shadow in the distance. The shadow then emerges to reveal a silver and shining THX logo as well as a {{color|royalblue|crystal blue}} rectangle outline from the Broadway trailers, which zoom slowly at us. A small copyright notice is seen below the THX logo.

'''Visuals:''' A large {{color|darkorchid|purple}} smoke cloud explodes on the screen, and the camera zooms out to reveal a nebula. The sequence continues to zoom out through the space-like background as a mountain range appears below. The mountains then appear reflected in a waterdrop on a dragonfly's wings. The dragonfly beats its wings in slow-motion clearing the waterdrops, and flies through a new background, featuring some plants that appeared in the "Amazing Life" trailer. The camera dips down into a pool of water and emerges to reveal a city at night, as a helicopter flies past. The city is revealed to be inside a snowglobe on a table of various items. The camera pans back to reveal two similar tables with {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} holographic domes on them. Then, Tex appears from the left and flies to a table in the front and loads up a similar holographic dome over the table and flies off. The camera continues to zoom out, revealing that Tex is aboard a star cruiser of some sort. The ship makes a light-speed jump, and the camera pans through the space station the ship was docked at. It is then revealed that the space station is in the shape of the THX logo, which becomes a more traditional silver color. The space background fades to {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and then everything gradually fades out.
