  • HBO has the best titles sequences on TV and Silicon Valley is no exception. We break down all the little details in the title sequences over the years.
    Shots Fired is publishing a follow up soon that breaks down how the Silicon Valley Title Sequence has changed throughout the years as well as why some companies disappeared from the title sequence and others have become more prominent.
    The song used throughout is the royalty free track by CMA - You're Free

    please do a video describing the title differences over the seasons

      +1 that's what I was expecting.

    • @feelingcrafty
      @feelingcrafty 7 років тому +18

      The only one I noticed is the Uber/Lyft balloons changing sizes, but I guess that´s the most obvious. ;-)

    • @duncantalksalot
      @duncantalksalot 7 років тому +6

      The balloon was of a different company that bursted in older seasons.

  • @pAvem3nt
    @pAvem3nt 7 років тому +12

    I like how the Uber and Lyft balloons change in size during the sequence, seemingly a reference to Lyft's gain in popularity at the expense of Uber's "missteps"

    Great Video. High Quality content, interesting even to those whove never seen the show. Good work.

    • @ReflexCinemaUS
      @ReflexCinemaUS  7 років тому +6

      I appreciate the kind words! I'd like to blend in a bit more content like this to balance the constant bloodbath of my other videos and their comment sections.

    • @Strafprozessordnung
      @Strafprozessordnung 7 років тому +6

      to be honest, your content is way above average. Im positive that you'll blow up soon enough. Already viewing this comment thread as "I talked to him before he was famous" lul. Keep it up.

    Excellent breakdown of the intro! I would personally like to see how it changed over the seasons. But even in it's current form it's super interesting to see how it all lays out.

  • @TB-zm3zc
    @TB-zm3zc 7 років тому +118

    You missed Kind Financial, next to Intel. They invest in Cannabis companies. There also appears to be a Windows logo below that, along with one other logo I don't recognize. Looks almost like an AMD logo, but backwards.

    • @TB-zm3zc
      @TB-zm3zc 7 років тому +6

      Also love the little private jets flying in on the air strip next to Alibaba and Soylent. Definitely a common thing out here

    • @TB-zm3zc
      @TB-zm3zc 7 років тому +16

      Ah, here's the Kind/Microsoft connection: Per LA Times: "The startup drew headlines last week after Microsoft announced it would make Kind’s Agrisoft Seed to Sale software available for sale on its cloud computing platform that services government clients - a move that marks Microsoft’s foray into the marijuana business."

    I always told myself to take a few minutes and really inspect each intro of this show since I knew I was missing a lot. You saved me from doing that, so thank you! Fantastic video. Silicon Valley's intro is one of the many reasons why I love it.

  • @blurquoise5301
    @blurquoise5301 6 років тому

    Wow, well done, man! This video was pretty fuckin' awesome! My friends and I have frequently paused the show during the title sequence and looked up all the little references we could find there, and we'd actually uncovered a fair few of them. But the level of detail you went into for this was just amazing. I wouldn't've thought that even a tiny detail like one of the CARS on the road would be a reference (and a pretty damn obscure one at that!). My friends and I had noticed the FBI vans though and figured that a detail THAT specific must be referring to something, but we had no idea what and it was rather bugging us a little lol.
    Also, on a side note, I just want to point out that I really like your choice of BGM for the video. I can't really pinpoint any specifics here - it just sounds like it "belongs". I often notice the music in videos like this even if it's muted and subdued, and how well it helps set the tone for the video can make or break the whole works very easily. In this case the track chosen just fits the video well, IMHO.
    This is the first video of yours I've ever come across, and it has most definitely earned you a new subscriber, my friend! I can't believe I'm only just now seeing your channel! 😁

    Larry Ellison has a famous passion for Sailing, not necessarily climbing - even though he dabbled in that....those photos are of his America's Cup sailing race wins.

    • @ReflexCinemaUS
      @ReflexCinemaUS  7 років тому +3

      Yes those are from sailing, I also included a generic picture of him with champagne. The idea was to show off his general sportiness and Tony Stark style.

    • @VanlockFR

      But the interesting part about the Oracle building in that intro is the money they throw around. Oracle swims in money thanks to patents mostly.

    • @d.brower

      I am quite unaware of significant parent revenue at Oracle. I thought it was licensing and support fees.

    Stuff not covered in the video (let me know if I missed anything!)
    Season 1 also had:
    * PayPal sign where season 4 has Tesla (entrepreneur Elon Musk is common to both)
    * 'sgi' making place for Google (they are the former owner of that part of Google campus)
    * 'myspace' sign changing to a smaller version
    * a building with the old Apple logo (rainbow)
    * AOL sign falling, its place being taken by Facebook
    * Napster balloon ascending only to crash a moment later
    * Adobe building (not showing on other seasons due to different zoom)
    Season 2:
    * That pixelated 'D' of 'All Things Digital' being replaced by re/code
    * Clinkle & Anybots logos (near 23&Me)
    Season 3:
    * The Amazon drones were yellow and carried wine (instead of pizza)
    * I'm not sure, but behind the Yelp sign, I think the dome reads "Energy Pod"

    • @ReflexCinemaUS
      @ReflexCinemaUS  7 років тому +20

      Oh man do I wish that line of bullshit were true. I've made $146 total from this channel thanks to the insane amount of adblock out there. I have no sponsors, and am constantly skirting the line of demonetization. I didn't even make a penny off of Origins of Cuck, because UA-cam age restricted it and demonetized it. I know it feels cool to be clever and postulate conspiracy theories (I do it all the time), but the truth is way more boring. My mother took the 23&me test for health reasons and recommended it throughout the family, making me somewhat familiar with it.

    • @kylereasterson5934
      @kylereasterson5934 7 років тому +7

      So it wasn't a paid advertisement?
      I wasn't trying to be cool or clever. I actually thought it was an advertisement, and I thought it was a clever way to place the ad into the video. I wasn't expecting a reply like this, sorry for the misunderstanding.

    • @ReflexCinemaUS
