HBO Feature Presentation: Difference between revisions

'''Opening:''' We start out with a space background with a light grid sheet rapidly moving across the bottom. Then, we see two triads of searchlights light up on the left and right sides, eventually crossing over each other. At the same time, {{Font color|blue|blue}} lights appear and many {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} rays rapidly move towards the screen, followed by {{Font color|blue|blue}} rays, {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} circles, {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} zigzags, colorful criss-cross lines, {{Font color|blue|blue}} and {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} straight lines, and finally wavy {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} lines with curvy {{Font color|red|red}} lines between them. Then we pan up to the searchlights, which move down to reveal a box of popcorn with many kernels shooting out. The screen cuts to a scene of five {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} popcorn kernels flying around the screen and falling down with a "shadow" effect, before they draw a marquee with several neon lines and designs (looking like that of the Orpheum or Pantages theater), and the camera zooms in below it. Then, the screen cuts to a plain black screen, and the stacked words "{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}" zoom out and pan down with a "shadow" effect, flashing when they settle on the background. After the flash dies down, lines appear behind each word, and the text turns {{Font color|red|red}}. Finally, the lines shine repeatedly.

'''Opening:''' On a space background with a gridded floor, we see several bright lights drawing in a stylized movie theater complete with a box office and a marquee with the text "'''H.B.O. FEATURE MOVIE'''" on both sides. We then zoom into a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} star on the marquee, and the screen cuts to more bright lights drawing in the interior of the theater. As we slowly zoom in, a {{Font color|red|red}} curtain on the center rises to reveal a {{Font color|blue|blue}} pair of curtains, which open as the camera zooms in and it fades to the "{{Font color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual.

'''Opening:''' As we start with a man tuning the cable on a TV set for a channel (to HBO) in his apartment as he settles down on the couch with his wife with several food items (i.e. a tub of popcorn, a pizza cut into slices etc.) in front of them. The camera pans backwards and outside the window to show a somewhat busy city intersection with figurines of vehicles and people standing on the sidewalk at twilight. The music starts, and the camera "flies" forward down the street, through several intersections. At one point you can even see a movie theater with "HBO THEATRE" on the marquee. We fly over some buildings before going into the suburbs, with lots of trees. We fly over several houses and a clock tower. Then the camera pans up into the sky, which briefly takes sunset hues before becoming {{Font color|blue|blue}} and black with a starfield. We go up into space, eventually panning up to reveal the source of the light; a star (positioned near the top center of the screen) that gets brighter and brighter, and eventually explodes in a {{Font color|orangered|scarlet}} and {{Font color|blue|blue}} gemstone-shaped flash, leaving behind a shiny chrome model monolith. The monolith moves down and across the screen and rotates clockwise, revealing that it is the HBO logo, then turns around one more time as the camera then zooms in on the side of the "{{Font color|silver|'''O'''}}". The side of the "{{Font color|silver|'''O'''}}" disappears in a flash of light, revealing a stream of {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} and {{Font color|blue|blue}} rays streaking counterclockwise around a {{Font color|silver|silver}} axis, and "{{Font color|violet|'''HBO FEATURE PRESENTATION'''}}", in a heavy, {{Font color|violet|lavender}} 3D "gaspipe" font and with each word stacked on top of the other (as well as a line under "{{Font color|violet|'''<u>PRESENTATION</u>'''}}"), appears against an array of {{Font color|purple|purple}} lines. Some more rays sweep across the words and shine, then the background fades to black with more flashes from the surrounding rays.

*Some end cards had the lines colored {{Font color|royalblue|royal blue}} or a {{Font color|red|red}}-{{Font color|gray|gray}} gradient.

'''Opening:''' We see a countdown with the letters "{{Font color|gold|'''H'''}}", "{{Font color|gold|'''B'''}}", and "{{Font color|gold|'''O'''}}". When it stops, it starts again as a globe bounces on it and onto a round {{Font color|red|red}} layer with the word "{{Font color|gold|'''M'''OVIES}}" and several {{color|gold}} banners with the words "HBOmovies" on them circling it. The globe bounces into a filmstrip, imprinting bouncing globes onto it, then bounces on the "{{Font color|gold|'''M'''}}" and moves to another layer with the word "{{Font color|gold|'''B'''OXING}}" and several "HBOboxing" banners on it. The globe and the letter "{{Font color|gold|'''B'''}}" fight with each other, pushing the globe onto a layer with the word "{{Font color|gold|'''M'''USIC}}" and several "HBOmusic" banners, as a bunch of globes appear. Three of the globes turn {{Font color|red|red}} and bounce onto a new layer with "{{Font color|gold|'''F'''AMILY}}" and "HBOfamily" banners. The "{{Font color|gold|'''F'''}}" juggles them, throwing them onto a final layer with "{{Font color|gold|'''COMEDY'''}}" and "HBOcomedy" banners. The "{{Font color|gold|'''C'''}}" laughs as the countdown appears again. It turns into an "{{Font color|gold|'''O'''}}", which zooms out to reveal the rest of the HBO logo, and the globe bounces into the middle of the "{{Font color|gold|'''O'''}}".
