I believe there's black video provided on every Technicolor TrailMix drive out there...
Right, the Trail Mix drives have black clips in 1, 5 and 10-second lengths. THey are called "Black MOS." (Assumedly that stands for Moment Of Silence. I would have preferred they call it "black leader" myself! [Smile] )

MOS is production lingo for "without sound." The origin of this is a point of debate, but the meaning is well known.

MOS - "Mit Out Sound" or "Mit Out Sprechen" or so the old story goes...

I downloaded a few of the Cinetize clips and am happily using them as we speak. And, will strongly consider a "personalized" version of at least one of them when clear faves emerge. Way to go, Cinetize!

Hi Shawn

Candy Bar is the term used in Australia. Not sure about New Zealand. (Is anyone? [Wink] ) Please make sure you come back here to tell us when you've made anything new or updated tags.

And for Cameron (or anyone else)... Black

Hi Folks,
Thanks for your kind words and feedback. I can't wait to get some of this new stuff posted. I'll let you all know when it's there. Also, if you are signed up for an account on Cinetize, you'll start receiving a monthly e-newsletter that lists all of the new content that's available...including the "Candy Bar" piece. [Smile]

Shawn - maybe you could work with Dolby to acquire their old sound logos, since they don't seem to be interested in them any more. Even after 2 months I still have people saying they miss the "Train" logo we used to play before every movie.

...or some of the old logos from Cinema Concepts. I would love to get a digital version of their "Christmas Lights" one -- we've used that for the past 20 or more Christmases so I'm kind of bummed that we won't be able to use it this year. (Apparently they have gotten completely out of the business of policy trailers for non-chains...I suppose there wasn't enough business in that department.)
