Shivalik Films (India)

(1980-1981) Logo: On a dark background, we see an earth globe rotating in white smoke. Suddenly, we see a hand-made white seed that comes from the globe, and red smoke appears. As the seed is moving down, the earth globe disappears. The seed stops moving, and suddenly it turns into a white silhouette. The silhouette partially becomes translucent, showing us a Hindu Goddess with a trident and some kind of film roll. Finally we see "SHIVALIK FILMS" on white, with an down-angled scheme.

FX/SFX: The earth rotating, the smoke, the hand-made seed and silhouette that becomes a Goddess, and the text... Cheesy Factor: Which are very choppy for today's standards. Also, they put much proffesionalism on the morphing of the statue or is it done with Scanimate?

Music/Sounds: A typical Indian melody made by a flute until seed becomes a silhouette. From this moment until the text appears, we hear a melody from a kind of Indian lyra. When the text appears, we hear a dramatic fanfare.

Availability: Seen only on Ambe Maa Jagdambe Maa and Waliti Babu.

Scare Factor: High. The dark background, the smoke, the seed and the ascending music will catch you off-guard. Others may not be affected for this.
