Cine Video (Argentina)

Background : Cine Video was one of the very first home video companies of Argentina, that was founded by Dardo Ferrari in 1981, in order to sell movies on videocassette, namely the VHS, Betamax and Video 2000 formats. The company lasted until 1982, because of a lack of specific laws to regulate the activity, having less of a popular scope and lack of piracy at that time and few people got a few imported VCRs, and also when Ferrari moved to the United States, in order to help them found the first successful home video distributor, Argentina Video Home.

(1981-1982)
Logo: After a 10-second green digital countdown disappearing, three red/green/blue stripes wipe in from top to bottom, with the ones near the top are more bigger. After each stripe finishes wiping in "CINE VIDEO" in a futuristic font wipes in vertically on these stripes. We cut to a B&W photo of Charlie Chaplin that later zooms in, followed by a lot more images of characters and scenes from various movies, then to Charlie Chaplin again. We fade out, and we go back to the Cine Video logos.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A held synth note decreasing in volume at the countdown. A new wave theme for the actual logo animation and copyright screen after it. This is actually "Conduciendo una Locomotora" by Pedro Aznar.

Availability : Seen on all movies from Cine Video on videocassette from 1981 to 1982..

Editor's Note: This is one of the longest logos documented on this wiki, clocking in at 1 minute and 30 seconds. This is also the oldest Argentinian home video logo ever.
