HBO Feature Presentation: Difference between revisions

'''Visuals:''' The sequence starts out with a space background with a light grid sheet rapidly moving across the bottom. Then, there are two triads of searchlights light up on the left and right sides, eventually crossing over each other. At the same time, {{color|blue}} lights appear and many {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} rays rapidly move towards the screen, followed by {{color|blue}} rays, {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} circles, {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} zigzags, colorful criss-cross lines, {{color|blue}} and {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} straight lines, and finally wavy {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} lines with curvy {{color|red}} lines between them. Then the camera pans 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 {{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 {{color|red}}. Finally, the lines shine repeatedly.

'''Visuals:''' On a space background with a gridded floor is 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. The screen then zooms 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 the camera slowly zooms 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.

'''Visuals:''' As the sequence starts 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. 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, a movie theater with "HBO THEATRE" on the marquee can be seen. The camera flies over some buildings before going into the suburbs, with lots of trees, then several houses and a clock tower. Then the camera pans up into the sky, which briefly takes sunset hues before becoming {{color|blue}} and black with a starfield. The camera goes 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 {{color|orangered|scarlet}} and {{color|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 "{{color|silver|'''O'''}}". The side of the "{{color|silver|'''O'''}}" disappears in a flash of light, revealing a stream of {{color|red}}, {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} and {{color|blue}} rays streaking counterclockwise around a {{color|silver|silver}} axis, and "{{color|violet|'''HBO FEATURE PRESENTATION'''}}", in a heavy, {{color|violet|lavender}} 3D "gaspipe" font and with each word stacked on top of the other (as well as a line under "{{color|violet|'''<u>PRESENTATION</u>'''}}"), appears against an array of {{color|darkviolet|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 {{color|royalblue|royal blue}} or a {{color|red}}-{{color|gray}} gradient.

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