- This is the real deal, folks - an actual Dolby Stereo logo from a 35mm print.
This uses the same audio as the Filmack snipe I previously reconstructed ( • Dolby Stereo - Our Fea... ) and presumably dates from around the same time. I've previously glimpsed it attached to a print of Star Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979 so I'm guessing that's around the right vintage, but do let me know if you know any better.
If you want to re-use this elsewhere, please give me the basic courtesy of a credit - thanks.
This fanfare is like my happy place
Nothing better to demonstrate stereo capabilities than a hard pan from left to right.
Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?
Music:
"Zap!"
Performed by Derek Scott
This intro reminds me of when there were films I liked at the cinema.
Well I never! Never knew of this! I wonder if it was an official Dolby Product in that case! I always assumed the logo was licenced to Filmack as Dolby had not yet done their own, but this puts a new light on it! The piece of music (though you may know this) is a stock piece called ZAP! by Derek Scott.
It certainly has the polish of an official product, doesn't it? Unfortunately, these are all the frames that were on the reel so any identifying leaders and such are long gone.
@@jonnof77 I'll share a link on the ex-projectionists forum - someone there will surely have played it... Will report back if I have any findings!
I'm quite certain this along with that other one with the same music track were produced by Filmack Studios.
@@nixwerld3831 It was - this and the other one with the same tune, albeit this is very rare compared to the other. which could still be bought at the end of the 35mm days. Dolby didn't do their own until the 80s, so they licenced the logo to Filmack to use. Cinema Concepts did not have use of the logo, as you've probably seen on Jonno 77's other upload.
Thank you for this scan. :)
There was yet another Dolby Stereo ident that had its own 80s synth-pop soundtrack, with just some text in a red background with the text "Dolby Stereo" and the (R) symbol next to it being indigo and the remainder of the text above it being yellow. The Dolby logo is nowhere to be seen in this ident. I wonder if anyone else knows about it.
Go on then - as it's nearly Christmas ;) czcams.com/video/0Gcfnatu9PI/video.html
Because Filmack had the licence to use it and Cinema Concepts did not. You could still buy it well into the 90s, but I don't think it was a very popular choice, the other Filmack one was the most commonly used.
Amazing job, thank you so much! 🙏🏻💚
It could have been 1978, I even read a comment that The Reaper's Pocket comments it debuted with The Deer Hunter and Superman.
I think the two Filmack Dolby Stereo trailers were released at the same time.
The second one was definitely 1978 - I have 35mm copies if it and it says (C) 1978 at the end in-between the framing lines (so wouldn't show up on screen unless projecting Academy Ratio).

I guess THX wasn’t the first sound system to exist
Analog surround is better than this digital crap of today.
Agreed. Analog sounds more full and has more dynamic. Thankfully, DDI Codec found a way to duplicate the Dolby Stereo analog, and I used it in 3 of my short films.
When you say crap, I ment scrap.
Hmm... Interesting!

Does this Dolby trailer have a unique name?
It isn't a Dolby produced trailer, it was a Filmack snipe - they licenced the logo as Dolby in these days were not producing their own official ones. It was sold in the catalogues as 'PRESENTED IN DOLBY STEREO'
@@MysteryManfrom79 You are very knowledgeable.
@@ESP1138 Used to purchase such things in my cinema days - you could still buy this well into the 2000s...
