Jyza Video Co. also known by it's video slang name Jyza Vid Co was a low budget film distributor based in

Franceville. Founded in 1982 by Spanish Thomasian filmmaker Pascal Jysa (pronounced hy-ZAH), the company

cultivated in the production of art films and made over T50,000,000 in production, box office and funding sales.

Jyza Video filed for bankruptcy and in 1994, merged with Seriovision Films to become Serio-Jyza Pictures.

Today, Serio-Jyza Home Entertainment owns all rights to both Jyza and Seriovision libraries, prior to 1994.

Nicknames: "Lights of Annoyance", "Jyza Lights", "Lights, Camera, Jyza", "It's Too Bright", "JyzaShow",

"Jyza Lights of Boredom", "Nostalgia Lasers".

The Logo: In the dark background, we see two lasers appearing in two respective directions. Two more lasers appear

from both the top and the bottom of the screen. The laser interchanges colours in a clockwise motion as neon

lights shine the videotape exterior. The letters then shine "JYZA" in cursive writing while the tiny letters are

animated on the bottom of the logo like this "video company".

Availability: Rare, this logo can be seen on pre-1986 prints of The Lustfully Suave, Super Land of Fascination

and Days Before My Brother's Wedding. Films released on videocassettes from NorthStar Lake Pictures such

as My Sister Kissed A Woman, Lovely Weekend At Marla's, We Dance The Party,How To Like A High School

Nicknames: "Lights, Camera, Jyza II", "Starlights of Doom", "Starlights From Hell",

"Blue Bars of Annoyance".

The Logo: In the blue background, we see a light blue valley as the camera zooms in to the sky. Millions of

stars move in circles as four thick blue bars appear in four directions (two from the top of the screen, two

from the bottom of the screen). The stars then stop circling as the camera zooms in deeply to a field of

stars and planets. The letters flash before the four blue lopsided triangles like this: J Y Z A. The letters

appear at the bottom of the logo that reads "VIDEO CO." as the stars start circling again.

SFX: Satellites ringing, meteorites roaring.

FX: The camera zooming in, stars moving, meteorite rushing.

Music: Rhythmic drumming and bongo playing followed by four gong crashes.

Availability: Rare, like the previous logo this logo can be seen on pre-1986 prints of movies from this era.

Scare Factor: Low bordering on Medium for the gong crashes, the perplexing asterisks and the loud roar

of a meteorite. None to low for those who are used to it.

The Logo: In the dark blue background, we see a light blue valley with scanimated trees in 3D as the camera

zooms into outer space. Like before, the stars move in circles while the camera now zooms in several times for

a while. The stars shine more bright as we move towards a starry field. Several asteroids appear from the left

part of the screen as it roars twice as loud. Three thick lines appear in it's respective colours as the text appears

from each top of the logo. The text "Video Co." is now thinner as it appears from left.

SFX: Wind blowing, meteorites roaring.

Low for those who are used to it.
