THE SPOT
The animated :30 "Compulsories" opens on a lone female figure skater practicing her moves on an open rink, her skates carving a perfect circle in the ice. Suddenly the scene shifts abruptly as the skater exits the ice and is replaced by two teams of hockey players who are loudly clashing over a stray puck. The disc flies out of the scrum, and as the players leave the circle the camera pulls back to reveal that the combined marks in the ice have formed the AT&T logo.
