HBO Builds a Model City

I previously wrote a blog post about how when I was younger, television stations and even some radio stations would sign on at the start of their programming day and sign off the air at the conclusion of that day's programming (https://gregorymaness.wixsite.com/website/post/signing-on-and-signing-off). While I was online earlier today, I came across this short mini-documentary on how HBO or Home Box Office created one of the opening sequences that preceded their feature presentations. If you have an interest in the history of television or filmmaking and special effects, you might enjoy this short (less than 11 minutes) look behind the scenes.

A CLOSER LOOK: INSIDE HBO'S CITY

I also came across a longer video (just shy of 44 minutes) that takes an in-depth look at the evolution of the HBO program openings. If you have been an HBO subscriber for some time, you might enjoy this flashback.
