Ever just get Really Bored and, instead of focusing on work that needs doing, you look up the Behind-the-Scenes special on the making of the old "HBO Feature Presentation" logo?

No?

Just me?

Oh... well. Here's the best vers I came across tonight if you're curious. o.o

"We put a few bums on the street, a few hookers on the corner. Things like that are kind of our calling card."

Can confirm Gen-X core memory goosebumps engaged as soon as the theme started

Also, that model, even the HBO logo itself was quite the work of art

"Yeah. We put all this work into a clip that's only a minute and a few seconds before you watch something on HBO. Here's a ten minute video on how we made it."

ビル・モリソンによるドキュメンタリー映画『ドーソン・シティー:凍結された時間』(2016年)の劇場公開用ポスターが届きました。英米版も悪くないのですが、仏版デザインは作品のエモーショナルな雰囲気を上手く伝えています。なにより無声映画期の35ミリフィルムそのものを高解像度で拡大して部屋に飾れるというのが嬉しい。

When I was a kid the couple of times I caught this I was way more into the miniature city aspect of it but as an adult it’s the fact that the flying, hyperspace-filled HBO logo was a physical object that I find most fascinating

This is pretty neat. A making of video about the old 80s HBO feature presentation intro. I was today years old when I learned that the flying HBO logo was a practical effect

Absolutely riveted by this BTS reel from 1982.

I can't imagine a brand spending this kind of time, effort, and $$ on a package element today, and all HBO got for their troubles is an iconic piece of footage that folks my age are still obsessed by 40 years later ...

Like, there's a whole ass docu-short/behind the scenes/making-of the old HBO intro that they used to air in between movies, and I must have watched it dozens of times back in the day. That's how goofy we were for it.
