"Pay a little closer attention to detail..."

Via Gary Butcher at 30gms, an early 80s making-of featurette showing the old-school model building and special effects used to create a signature HBO intro sequence. It's perhaps a bit long at 10 minutes, but the soundtrack is outstanding, and features one of the only songs I know of that truly celebrates the magic of the special effect artist.

"Pay a little closer attention to detail…
All the things you’re taking for granted…
Are just as important as what you see"

Music composed by Jonathan L. Segal, who remains available to jazz up your event.
