Overview[]
In response to complaints from exhibitors about loud trailers, this production (along with Canyon and Temple) was specifically created with a subtle soundtrack. The goal was to demonstrate that Dolby Digital not only makes loud sounds more impressive, but also makes subtle, quiet sounds crisper and clearer.
Description[]
In a temple in Egypt, we see a light shine, and the camera moves to reveal that it's coming from a wall. In front of the light, we see the Dolby Digital logo in gold. The light shines bright twice as the camera zooms into the logo. When we finally get close enough to the logo, the light shines behind the logo very brightly, causing the logo to shine brightly, and the scene changes to a black background with the logo, which shines.
Trivia[]
- Act III Theaters had a special variant that had the THX logo (with the Lucasfilm byline above it) in place of the Dolby logo, which is engraved on the floor with "PRESENTED IN" above. Then it fades out to show the Act III logo with "FEATURE PRESENTATION" below.
- The trailers exist filmed or digital and in normal widescreen and scope widescreen.
- Currently, the exact theatrical debut of this logo is unknown, though what is currently known is the month, December 1996. Some high-ranking films released that month include Mars Attacks!, Scream (1996), and Evita (though other releases from companies bar Universal and Sony are not to be ruled out).
