A white grid unfolds across the bottom half of the screen, and after that, "{{font|Times New Roman|'''SYME'''}}" zooms in with a black drop shadow, as 3 starry lights fly out from the right side and over to the left. A ping appears on the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''S'''}}" in "{{font|Times New Roman|'''SYME'''}}", and the grid pulls out from below, revealing "{{font|Times New Roman|'''HOME VIDEO'''}}" stacked below it unfolding. The end result shows "{{font|Times New Roman|'''SYME HOME VIDEO'''}}" | ||
