there are some pretty awesome intros out there. here are my favorites:


this is the old Swedish Film Industry intro. I remember as a kid, I used to rewind the tape and listen to it over and over again, got goose bumps every time.


really like this intro for the swedish tv-show uppdrag granskning.


ah, good old x-files. used to creep me out when I was a kid, though :lol:


no surprise there, really.

what are your favorite film studio/tv-show intros?

This is one.




I understand Angela Morley worked on the arrangement, too. Written by Jerrold Immel. :)

This is actually slightly reminiscent of JW, IMO. A very memorable, clear-cut, bold theme, and it gets repeated again and again, with each repeat being more complex in terms of orchestration. Love it!

We need the 1980's and current Walt Disney Pictures, Horner's Universal Studios and of course, Williams' Fox Fanfare, Amazing Stories and NBC News.

Ah yes, Alice, I have strong nostalgic connections to the SF logo, especially from the VHS days (and when we used to rent 'movie-boxes' in absence of VCR's).

We should probably make a difference between logos and idents and tv show intros on the other hand.

Two of my favourite tv show intros (especially the music) are:

This is the "right" version of the SF intro, more brassy!

Nobody likes the Dreamworks intro?

20th Century Fox with the extension?
-So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories.

My all time favorite and, what do you know, the music is by John Williams. Strangely enough, it's somehow a perfect interlude or prologue to Blade Runner. In fact, I though the movie had started when I first saw it. It reminded of the monochrome monitors we see in Scott's previous film Alien.

I enjoyed the intro to the tv show Millennium. It had such a brooding, melancholy feel, due in no small part to Mark Snow's theme.
