What gets me is how much effort was done on the street and countryside portion, which wasn't shown much after a couple of years... (Cuts straight to the flying logo were the norm for what I swear was over a decade afterwards.)
The ridiculous amount of time & money that goes into a big budget computer game might be an example.
especially things like motion capture.
I eat up stuff like this, and it brings back memories from my childhood. I remember that intro! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
The real question is, what are we doing now that in 25+ years will be looked back upon as incredibly tedious and unwieldy (but we see as state of the art)?
