Marine Video Corporation

Background: Marine Video Corp. was founded in December 20,1959 by Justin Armstrong in Michigan. It became the very first home video company in 1974, signing 5-year contracts with Eyriesink, Avery Pictures, CCT Entertainment, XYZ Pictures, Yoshi (now BUG Corporation) and Breil (Films, Television, Enterprises and Channel). In 1978 the Breil Entertainment Group purchased Marine from Armstrong, reincorporating it as Breil Video in 1979. It is now known as Breil Home Entertainment.

(1973-1979?)

Nickname: "Pre-Elevator","The 70s Personification of All That is Cheesy","A Very,Very,Very,Very Long Line"

Logo: On a black background, "MARINE VIDEO CORPORATION" appears in the center. It then copies itself on the back a bunch of times. Then all the "MARINE VIDEO CORPORATION"'s begin scrolling upwards/downwards for around 15 seconds until it fades out.

Variant: There is a B&W variant for classic movie releases in B&W.

FX: The words scrolling.

Trivia: The original release of Purchasing Overtime features this logo, although the tape is from 1981 so it would normally have the Breil Video logo and the tape had BUG/BREIL print logos on the case!

Cheesy Factor: High to Cheese Me! The animation is very cheap and the "MARINE VIDEO CORPORATION"'s copies so much and scrolls up and down,the length is so long it probably takes forever for it to finish!

Music/Sounds: A 20-note fanfare.

Availability: Ultra rare.

Scare Factor: Low to medium.
