This is a classic that's been in my favorites for ages.

In 1981, HBO hired Liberty Studios to produce a new program opener. The result was "HBO in Space". The original and variations of it were used by HBO in varying degrees for over a decade.

"A Closer Look: Inside HBO's City" is a 10 min behind-the-scenes look at the months long endeavor that gives a glimpse of the whole process: storyboarding the idea, designing a cardboard mockup to run the camera through and see what needed work, creating the city diorama, constructing and animating the HBO logo itself—both physically and with effects, and the final filming.

I always loved behind-the-scenes stuff growing up and still do today. I'm pretty sure getting the occasional peak at this kind of thing played a part in getting me into design.

plus its got that 80s vibe from the clothes to the clunky computers and a delightfully cheesy sounding 80's soundtrack 😎
