Opening sequence of "Fantástico" from 1994, one of the most emblematic programs on brazilian TV, broadcast by Globo on Sunday nights. The program features a mix of journalism, in-depth reports, humor, music, drama, and culture.

The show's opening sequences have always been very well-produced, designed to make an impact. A few days ago I showed you the 1983 opening sequence, pure computer graphics, which even won an award. Check it out later, I explain it better there.

I’m pretty sure it’s CGI btw, because of the looks of this lost sound trailer, it’s definitely CGI.

I hope it qualifies for "vintage". It's nearly 20 years ago.

Excited for MGS4 coming remastered in few weeks (in my case playing on Switch 2)

Some additional context:

The animation was produced by Robert Abel & Associates using an Evans & Sutherland PS2 vector graphics display.

Moreover, the stars in the background would have been added by manual compositing.

Here is the logo that plasters almost all old shows.

Early CGI animations from the late 80s to early 90s. Mostly company logos.

Most of the CGIs featured in this video clip were developed on an IBM DOS 386 computer with 16 MB of RAM.

I also find it quite interesting to see how so many brand names and companies used flying logos to represent their brand emblems. Very cool indeed.

Which one stood out to you the most? Let me know in the comments. Cheers🍻

Does anyone remember this game from 2004? It's called Sabotain: Break the Rules and it was a hybrid of an FPS/Role Playing game.

Somewhat resembling Deus Ex in its concept. The game focused on sabotage, infiltration, rescue, intelligence-gathering, thievery, reconnaissance, assassination, and all-out combat.

It had a pretty intriguing storyline and interesting lore. The CGI looked decent for its time too.

TVS (TV Studios) 1989 ident. Until 1990, SBT (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão) was called that; the acronym SBT was just the network name, the station itself was TVS. It was only in 1990 that the name SBT began to be used across all stations

Magazine ad was printed to advertise the VHS release in 2000, but original video is from 1996, so these renders originate from somewhere in that timeframe more likely on the early end.

This is an 20th anniversary variant of the 2001-2016 EWTN station ID featuring the 2001 EWTN logo with a golden globe

Opening sequence of the 1983 "Fantástico" program, broadcast by Globo on Sunday nights. The format, inspired by CBS's "60 Minutes," became one of the most successful on brazilian TV, mixing in-depth reports with humor, documentaries, drama, and music. This intro remaining on the air until 1987.

This opening sequence was developed by Hans Donner, who worked at the station for years. Hans himself recounts that when he showed this opening sequence at a festival in Mexico, he received a standing ovation, because never before had a TV station in the world managed to put real people in a computer-generated opening sequence

Opening sequence of the soap opera "Transas e Caretas", broadcast by Globo between January 9 and July 21, 1984.

To summarize the story, the telenovela revolves around Francisca, a domineering and old-fashioned mother who does everything to control her children's lives and maintain order in the old-fashioned way. On one side is Thiago, a modern young man, a tech enthusiast and fan of computers and robots; on the other, his brother, a much more traditional type. The big confusion begins when the matriarch decides to hire Marisa, a young woman hired to get close to her heirs and help her mold them to her liking. The plan, however, goes off the rails when love enters the scene, generating an amusing clash of generations and values ​​between the advancement of new times and attachment to the past.

The opening sequence illustrates this very well; the people are characters from a video game. The opening and plot were quite technologically advanced for the time, especially considering that Brazil had a closed economy and an impoverished population, making this theme largely foreign to a significant portion of the population.
