Wow, that is actually incredible, funny how doing things manually always surpasses today's technology effects

Watch these special effects made by russians right after ww2, I think they were way ahead of their time.

And that was cutting edge technology back then, now we use CGI for everything

#4 Note that CGI is used a lot but with combination of mock ups therefore art department is a very important sector!

I must have seen that sequence a couple hundred times in the 80's while growing up (it looked much better than it does in this low-res and somewhat choppy video).

What astonishes me most is that the floating HBO logo was an actual chunk of metal.
