'Westworld' Spoilers: Show Designer Explains The Opening Title Sequence

The opening title sequence for HBO's new sci-fi series "Westworld" is both mesmerizing and haunting, and it will definitely draw in audiences to the production of robotic hosts. Show designer Patrick Clair told Vulture that opening title sequences are distinct for each show. For "Westworld," he wanted to take an explicit approach and condense the show's own design elements. "By the time I came on the show, they had already created the most beautiful and poetic version of creating robots that I could imagine," he said. "I could have abstracted that, but when I looked at the hosts inside the show, and the beautiful white translucent liquid, I thought the process itself seemed very poetic as it was, so instead of trying to represent that in an abstract way, I wanted to use the same design elements, the same robot arms, the same way the people turn in the circle."
