HBO Feature Presentation: Difference between revisions

{{YouTube|id=mOqNJUBmR_U}}

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Only seen on the channel's first broadcasts.

'''Opening:''' The camera travels down an infinite loop of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where we see several movie-related items (i.e. a glass slipper, a box of popcorn, a soda bottle, etc.) on the left and right sides of the screen. We then zoom into a screen that shows a color-changing background and the aforementioned objects moving around while briefly morphing into blobs, before cutting back to the Walk of Fame where we see a box office gradually zooming in as the sky turns to a night sky and searchlights move around it. When the box office comes close to the screen, it cuts to the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Again you should check old HBO recordings to find it. This appears on ''The World of Robert Abel'', an installment in Pioneer's 1985 LaserDisc series ''Visual Pioneers''.

'''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 {{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 {{color|red}} curtain on the center rises to reveal a {{color|blue}} pair of curtains, which open as the camera zooms in and it fades to the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An alternate version of the fanfare used in the first logo of the time, only slower and louder.

'''Opening:''' On a space background, we pan through and around many abstract shapes of various colors and sizes, some of which light up. At one point, a circle with a star passes by the shapes, with a bubble trail passing through them shortly after. After a while, a stylized {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} screen moves in from the right and we zoom into it as it starts showing the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A bouncy techno version of the fanfare.

'''Opening:''' We see a futuristic-like city at twilight, and we pan to the left where we see a neon movie theater with searchlights scanning the sky. Then we zoom into the entrance and see a bird's-eye view of the theater, lit in {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} and {{color|orange}}. We slowly zoom into the projection screen and the camera fades to the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual.

'''Opening:''' On a black background, {{color|darkviolet|purple}} streaks rain down the screen diagonally as we fade to see a {{color|gray}} rounded rectangle with a neon {{color|pink}} outline rotating and zooming out, with an ocean at the bottom of the screen. When it disappears, a {{color|blue}} circular flash brings forth a series of {{color|gold}} bars that fly towards the screen at an angle. They eventually form a theater hallway with the ocean turning into a black floor, and a {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} screen quickly zooms in as the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text starts animating as usual.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A relaxing synth version of the fanfare mixed with drums.

*Sometimes, a movie picture remains at the left as all the pictures drop down, while the split with the HBO logo and "Feature Presentation" appears in the right. This doesn't appear on the Asian version, as of this writing.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as before, but an announcer says "And now, an HBO feature presentation". There's also a different variant where an announcer says "And now, an HBO feature presentation: [movie title]." On HBO Asia, there's no announcer. So with the version on HBO Family USA.
