              How Movie Effects USED To Be Done: HBO Style

              Some of you may not remember this but as a very young kid with HBO in the house, I remember always being amazed watching this intro. Now I think movies on HBO just start with the parental ratings and nothing more. So next time you are thinking of making a cool intro for your business in after effects, remember how much harder it actually could be! As always, click the full post to view the original trailer.

                Those were the days. Does anyone remember using the Oxberry and Forox Animation camera for special effect slides? The programming the multi-projector slide shows wih AVL programmers.

                I SO remember watching this when they first launched it! It was AMAZING (and still pretty cool)

                I loved this, it was like going back in time, and I remember that opening as if it were just yesterday. Made me think about “ON” subscription television, if you remember that before HBO ever was born. Thanks for posting this
