Subject: Who remembers the HBO intro from the early 80's? Thu Jan 26, 2012 3:10 pm
Eh, was unsure which board to post this in, if it’d fit better in the TV section, or maybe in 80’s Dan’s, but… figured it was generic nostalgia enough to just go here.
Who else remembers the HBO intro from the early 80’s. The one that flies over the city, and then has the letters come out of the sky set to the most epic music ever.
The reason I bring it up is I recently stumbled upon an old making of video for this sequence. This little minute long logo took at least 4 months to produce. From elaborate model rigs to classic 80’s composite effects with LEDs and light filters. I always loved how classic effects were done and the amount of effort that was put into this little logo sequence was just impressive. It’s a neat watch.

I DO!!!! I remember seeing this as a kid when HBO used to air "Fraggle Rock". The "Space" theme & music has been scanned in my brain for years. Seriously, they should use this as an opening to an episode of "Family Guy"! Long live the 80's!!!!

OH MAN! Does that ever bring back the memories. I used to actually check show times just to see when movies ended so I could catch all the in-between segments. HBO used to have some great making of specials and short films.

I remember seeing that intro when I first got cable in the early part of the '90s, and it got me so psyched to watch whatever movie was on. In my adolescent mind, it made the movies feel like a big event no matter how good or bad they were.
