D'Camp Films International (Philippines)

1st logo

(1988-1989)

Nicknames: "The Fourth Star Wars Logo" "A long time ago, in a garnet-backgrounded outdated effects logo far, far away..." "Akbar Arts, Empresa Trasandina de Video and Video City International's Filipino Response" "D'Camp In The Star Wars" "How Could They Mess it Up So Bad?" "The Filmstrip Logo" "The Understanding Of Nothing But Space" "The Filipino Switch of Originality" Logo: On a garnet background, a sparkle is seen in the center. The sparkle then emits an pink film reel which zooms out to the left side of the screen. The filmreel shows it's filmstrips, which are yellow. The filmstrip stops moving. After that, it burns to take place for "D'CAMP FILMS" to appear. It then moves more upwards to take place for the text "INTERNATIONAL", which all the texts are yellow.

FX/SFX: All done with 2D animation, along with the sparkles.

Cheesy Factor/Music/Sounds: Very cheap and dated animation, like even the most of Filipino logos, even for it's time. The sparkles are so yesterday and the effects too. Regardless, the cheesiness comes from the logo, which is a ripoff of the Star Wars opening theme, along with zaps and whooshes. Not quite good sounds, whatsoever.

Availability: Seen on Ang anino ni Asedillo and Paradise Hell, which both of them in their current prints are plastered by the VIVA Video logo.

Scare Factor: High, the red scheme of the background and the very fast animation will have the potential to shiver many people, but you must laugh at they stole the Star Wars music.
