1st Logo

(2000-2002)

WARNING : This video is extremely loud, so turn down the volume before watching this video.

Nicknames : "Golden Buddhist Statue from Hell", "Thunderstorm Mountains","Ear Drums Meh Be Dead Production", "Amaco Productions' Cambodian Cousin"

Logo : We see stock CGI footage of rolling hills at first. The camera pans up into the clouds, where we see hints of lightning. Then, we see text in Khmer flying in from outside the screen in different pieces, forming together at the top and bottom of the screen. The lightning then comes back, this time clear as day, striking in rapid succession. A horizontal lightning strike appears in the center of the screen, the background fades to black, and a Buddhist statue appears from dust on the screen, which may have been caused by the lightning. The Khmer text scrambles outside of the screen again, and more text, this time in English, saying "PRUM MEAS PRODUCTION", coming in via wiping effects, and a red line pulling the text in, in the case of the top text. The logo then fades to black after a few seconds.

FX/SFX : The camera panning, the lightning striking, the text flying and wiping in, the background fading to black and the Buddhist statue appearing.

Cheesy Factor : This logo has its use of cheap stock CGI and bad text movements. Also, why is the music so loud?

Music/Sounds : Ominous whooshing ambience with windchimes are heard at first, followed by loud thunder sounds, an even louder whoosh and a glass shattering sound. The ominous ambience keeps on playing while a swoosh is heard.

Availability : Seen on films from the company around this time.

Scare Factor : Medium to nightmare. The thunderous environment, loud sounds, and statue being on a black background all contribute for a scary logo.

2nd Logo

(2002-)

Logo : On a dark sky with clouds, a different Buddhist statue flies in from the bottom of the screen. We then make a sudden cut to the stature in a blue circle with a yellow outline. Then, yellow text in Khmer rises from behind the circle and zooms up to the viewer a bit, then zooms back out and rests itself on top of the circle. We then see upside-down text that says "PRUM MEAS PRODUCTION" zooming out from the bottom of the screen, then flips up as it gets close to the logo and rests under it. The logo then fades to black after a few seconds.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor : All the animation, which is cheap, especially for today's standards.

Music/Sounds : A childish-sounding theme, or the opening theme of the program.

Availability : Seen on films currently produced by the company.

Scare Factor : None, it is much better than the previous logo.
