New Apple TV Intro Was Made With Practical Effects

The all-new intro sequence for Apple TV was made with practical effects and shot in-camera, Ad Age reports.


Rather than using digital techniques, the new sequence was made by shooting large glass versions of the β€ŒApple TVβ€Œ logo, with physical motion and changing lighting used to create effects. Apple partnered with TBWA\Media Arts Lab to create the intro.

Ad Age released an exclusive look brief behind-the-scenes clip showing some of that process, which was then shared on X:

The intro now plays before all β€ŒApple TVβ€Œ content. The company has made a one-second-long sting for trailers, along with a five-second-long version for TV shows and a 12-second-long cinematic version for movies. It is accompanied by a new sound composed by Finneas.

Earlier this week, Apple's rebrand of β€ŒApple TVβ€Œ+ was made official, with Apple updating the β€Œβ€ŒApple TVβ€Œβ€Œ+ page on its website to read just "β€Œβ€ŒApple TVβ€Œβ€Œ" and updated app icons rolling out across devices.
