Way ahead of its time, Universal Pictures intro from 1937
Just came across this and think it deserves a post. This intro sequence is impressive by todays standard. But to think it was made in 1937 is just wow!! Comments on the youtube page kind of explain how they managed to do this. Even with all the modern technology 74 years later I dont thik I could make anything like this!

Well...
You are looking at an actual scale work of art, built by Alexander Golitzen. If you look closely, the globe has two sections, the plexiglass constructed upper text half spins, the lower half is a reflection of plexiglass stars twirling. The entire logo shoot was done by John P. Fulton, ASC's special photographic department.
BTW I have no idea if that's true or not, I just copied and pasted from one of the comments. But it sounds convincing!
