Lyrick Studios screener tape for Are You My Neighbor?
A (VHS) screener was a promotional VHS shipped to rental shops that used to plug an upcoming or new movie, television show, or similar to the public or press before its premiere or release.
Screeners would mostly be found in a fullscreen (1.33:1) format, although some are also in (letterboxed) widescreen. A screener mostly will have a "ticker" (message, copyright, and anti-copy telephone number) scrolling past the bottom of the screen sideways, while some feature markings that lead to the source of the video. Many of these types of videos will block these markings, while on others, the markings remain on the screen throughout the entire video. A screener can be filmed in two ways: subpar if done on a VHS recorder through poor capture equipment on a copied tape, or a superior print done from a master quality video.
From 1997 to 2001, Big Idea sold screener tapes by Lyrick Studios that have original Everland Entertainment releases. From 2002 to 2006 they released screener tapes from Warner Home Video and Sony Wonder until their final releases.
