Gigawatt Studios
From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum
Gigawatt Studios was a digital production studio located in Hollywood, California. Its co-founders include the Koening brothers, David Koenig and Yoni Koenig.
The company's objective was to develop quality interactive experiences that appeal to audiences of all ages. Outside of game titles, Gigawatt also produced a location-based ride for DisneyQuest, a Disney theme park.
In approximately 2003, the company appears to be went out of business. The Koenig brothers went on to found Extra Large Technology, another Hollywood-based company, in approximately 2005.
Visuals: On a black background, a red radar-like object with a yellow arc below and its yellow outlined circle, which attached on it, is shown. The circle shrinks itself as the background fades into a smoke background with the silver letter "G" with the camera pans and rotates to it. The outlined circle then moves to various directions to show the letters of the company name "GIGAWATT", in a Spider-Man like font, one-by-one. As soon as the entire company name is revealed, the circle then goes back to the radar, causing the radar to shrink into the same size as the outlined circle and flashes to a red bevel with a white outline and the letter "G" with the company name below, on a black background.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A faint rock tune, with electronic noises from the circle and an electrical zapping sound at the end. Also, sounds of the Baby Sun from Teletubbies can also be heard.
Availability: Can be seen on Secret Agent Barbie, Ultimate Ride and Wild Rides: Water Park Factory.
