The song in the beginning? Sounds like an alternate rendition of "You're the Very Best" from the Network Music Ensemble with rewritten lyrics. Cinema Concepts used a lot of stock music tracks from libraries such as Network Music since their inception in the late 70s, and began composing original music in the mid-80s with the iconic "Thank You for Coming to Loews, Sit Back and Relax, Enjoy the Show!" jingle for Loews Theatres.
So glad you uploaded this! I used to have this VHS tape in the projection room (UK suppliers used to send it out as a demo to their customers) but lost it somewhere along the way. Was hunting for it in the archive for some time to upload here, but glad you had it! I always wanted to buy that Got the Munchies Trailer again in the 2000s, but they no longer made it despite it being on the tape, so I had to go for that very vague (and era specific) Coca Cola one that followed it (which I found rather vague).
Like I said before, the original version of this song was "You're the Very Best" performed by R. Strader and S. Beard from the Network Music library, not sure about where this rendition with rewritten lyrics came from, though like so many other songs that Cinema Concepts used in their trailers, it's most likely from Network Music.
So *that's* the company behind those older policy trailers... I always wondered if United Artists and General Cinema's 1970s trailers were cut from the same cloth.
The company still exists and is still making policy trailers. There is one other major company that does these: Filmack Studios in Chicago. Previously, Pike Productions also made policy trailers, but they closed a number of years ago.
According to what I've researched, the company has been around since its establishment in 1977, some sources say it was 1978 while others said it was 1975. The GCC policy with the camera lens shutter and the UA eastern and western policy trailers were indeed done by Cinema Concepts through a partnership with CASCOM Inc. of Nashville, Tennessee. Some of the images used in their policy trailers are available through the CASCOM Select Effects library of stock motion graphics, which a lot of TV networks used throughout the 80s and early 90s. And yes, that's the same CASCOM behind those "Magic Eye" videotapes. CGI animation in several of these trailers was provided by Flying Foto Factory out of Durham, North Carolina.
1) At 10:25, is this the stock music that was used on Malaysian, Hong Kong, and Indonesian logos? 2) At 11:25, which American TV stations did it used this trailer?
I've heard from somewhere in the comments of TheNewGateStudios' upload of the "Commandments" policy that the Chateau Theatre in Rochester, Minnesota used to play it multiple times before their films. I know, right? Hopefully someone like FT Depot would have it in their collection and transfer it to HD. No matter how cheesy the CGI is, it's footage like this that needs to be preserved for generations to come.
7:32 I did recreate this MegaDater policy trailer from 1997, but it's in black instead of a space background, w/o a filmreel and other special effects, and a cut in/out rather than fading it.
Items # CC601 & CC801 used to be run at our AMC theatres back in the early 80's. Been looking for them for a long time. Thanks for posting!
I love the song in this video, it gives me a sense of nostalgia and happiness.

YESSS!! It has a nice hook to it. I was hoping to find just the song.
Kinda surprised NBC never tried to sue for that logo @ 0:08--unless it was different enough to avoid a suit

Thank you so much! I've been looking for these trailers for years now, especially the Space Odyssey policy. You are spectacular!
Yes! It's been the HARDEST one to locate! For years, "Spaceship policy trailer your silence is appreciated" yielded nearly NOTHING until now 😊😊😊
I remember 6:37 - 7:09 playing back when Moviedome existed. It is now a Fit4Life.
Who performed the song nothing but the best?

You rock thanks for posting🤟🤟🤙🤙
8:47 this is so funny
Ha, ha! I animated that one! One of my first cel animation jobs!
@@metalkatstudiowhen was this made? I have to assume it’s from the early or mid 80s
@@MrT8599 Mid 80s. It was my 1st professional piece as a full time cel animator!
@@MrT8599 I actually animated a sequel of the Big Mouth that was never finished. I have a pencil test, I plan finish it up in Toon Boom Harmony.

Were there any theaters that used the "Commandments" trailer? It's too funny.
