Old Forest Hill Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

This company produced the half-hour soap opera Generations, which aired on NBC from 1989 to 1991 and was promoted as television's first fully integrated daytime soap. It was likely owned by the show's creator, Sally Sussman Morina (who also executive produced and wrote the series).

Visuals: On a black background, the following words appear, arranged like so:

IN ASSOCIATION WITH

"Old Forest Hill" is in a dark green script font with some greenish-yellow spots, "PRODUCTIONS" is in spaced-out letters with lines above and below it, and "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" is in the same font as "PRODUCTIONS" but in dark green, and with each word's first letter being larger. A leaf, which is in green, with greenish-yellow spots similar to those in "Old Forest Hill", flies down from the center of the top of the screen and rests on top of "PRODUCTIONS" on the right end. The leaf casts a shadow throughout its animation; as a result, there is a small shadow being cast on "PRODUCTIONS" and the line above it when the leaf rests. The logo then cuts to the then-current NBC Productions logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: It was seen on Generations. The show hasn't been seen since its finale was broadcast on NBC, aside from reruns on BET in the 1990s.
