Dunn Films

Background
The Dunn Chronicles is an imprint label formed by Robert and Linda Dunn in 1999 to oversee the production of the Idols novel series, as well as bookend movie adaptations. This is treated as a “seal of approval” by the Dunns on adaptations they consider to fit their standards; this detail came into play, following the release of the third Idols adaptation.

1st Logo (2000)
Logo: We fade in to the wall of a basement with a visible fuse box. A shadowy figure passes by. It then cuts to a telephone on a desk before cutting to a peeling wall, where the company name fades in. It crossfades to the receiver of the phone shown before, where the text morphs into the number 1.

Trivia: This is actually edited b-roll footage from the film Idols. The shadow was initially assumed to have belonged to actor Michael Ironside, but was confirmed to belong to a boom operator.

FX/SFX: Live action, along with the wall peeling.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic suspenseful theme, along with the sound of the phone beeping and ending with three drum notes.

Availability: Appeared on Idols.

2nd Logo (2003)
Logo: We fade in to a white background. Silhouettes of two arms and hands fade in as the image condenses into a glowing square. "The Dunn Chronicles" fades in below before everything crossfades to the number 2.

FX/SFX: The light and fading effects.

Music/Sounds: Whooshes and a ghostly synth note.

Availability: Seen on Inch to a Mile. This was removed on the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment release, but following a lawsuit against the company for heavily editing the film without prior approval, they updated their release and this logo was reinstated.
