I’ve always loved that opening. When I was a kid, I was sure that’s what outer space sounded like! LOL!
I love the curve of the title cards. It gives them a 3D effect.

Just center it on your desktop, set the BG color to black, and it’s like your computer is “In CinemaScope”, as all good things are.
Nice Andrew. I am gonna see what other background I can make from these credits this weekend.
