This is a behind the scenes featurette showing how they created the HBO opening sequence. The effects sequence has always been an inspiration to me. I can remember sitting on the floor watching it and wondering how it was made. As it turns out the piece was created by Anthony Lover and his team at Liberty Studios, started in 1968 the longest standing productions studio in New York.
