Alan Ball ensured the opening titles for Six Feet Under were complex enough to hold a viewer's interest every week; the opening for True Blood is even more detailed. Digital Kitchen, the production company that made the opening, puts it this way:
The final edit contains over 65 shots comprised of original documentary, studio, tabletop photography and found footage. 6 separate shoots took place in Louisiana, Seattle, Chicago on 7 different still, film, and video cameras.
Not to mention the editorial content, which works in the South, sex, religion, death, bigotry, humour, animal urges and, yes, vampires. Watch a video about the making below: click here to download it, as well as the opening itself.

I really enjoy the series, fresh version of vampire lore. The books were great fun as well.
