It turns out that they used a pretty neat trick called “depth” when they shot that intro. So how the heck did they manage to accomplish that? It just so happens that I have found a pretty epic picture of how that intro text was actually created (even though the whole process seems to have been the same all though the series). ![]() I mean, it looks insanely smooth and surely they could not have been using computers for that since the pixel rate was no where near that smooth back in the ’70s. I know for a fact I am not the only one who has watched the first movie’s intro text and wondered how the heck they were able to do that back in 1977. What is now only used to get that retro feeling, like using miniatures for example, was on the edge of movie making back then. I mean, it’s a pretty iconic movie in movie history, but at what point will it actually become a whole new movie? Nah, what I mean is that things were just so much different back then, especially when it comes to how movies were made. Sheeech! No wonder they keep cleaning up the movie like every year or so.
