You're seeing it here first.
Days after absolutely scooping the lion's share of awards at the PromaxBDA Africa Awards for best on-air promos and imaging , a beautiful and brand-new on-air promo for M-Net Movies 1 (DStv 103) and M-Net Movies 1 HD (DStv 175) will start on the various M-Net channels on DStv today.
The imaginative new promo for M-Net Movies 1 is mostly done in sepia coloured tones to fit in with the theme of slightly discoloured and well-worn book pages.
The new promo is built around the premise of stories and the imagination they hold as they literally leap and jump from story books - fairytales if you will - that come to life on screen. The promo will run for the next couple of months.
''Stories make up the pages of your imagination,'' proclaims the voice over, ''You can get lost in a million impossible dreams. They give you wings to journey to impossible dreams.''
The new M-Net Movies 1 promo share some elements with the opening intro sequence of Game of Thrones currently on M-Net - three dimensional objects rising from basically a two dimensional plane and ''coming to life'' illustrated by the way of dynamic movement.
''Stories change the way you think; they alter the way you feel, and they redefine your universe'' says the voiceover. ''M-Net Movies, we tell the best stories.''
