Portal Films

Background
Portal Films was formed following the merger of Dandy Films and The Millimeter Station, coinciding with the closure of the former after its founder Linda Dunn relocated to the United Kingdom. The company operated from Millimeter's headquarters in Exeter. Co-operator Ruth Dodd would pass away due to complications from cardiovascular disease in 2002. Dunn would close the company presumably out of respect, as well as a lack of new business opportunities.

1st Logo (2001-2002)
Logo: We see two eye-charts fading in. The top rows contain three letters each "POR" and "TAL" while the letters below are randomized. The charts appear blurry, but are magnified three times before merging together. The image flashes to what looks to be the sun, with the bottom right resembling a crescent moon encased in a box which slowly zooms in. "PORTAL" is on the bottom portion.

FX/SFX: The eye charts and the box.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat marimba sample with a synthesized woods during the explosion.

Availability: Appeared on Five Fading Stars and Far Darrig.
