Seeing Is Believing: How The Old Star Wars Opening Crawls Were Filmed
From geekology, Just like this (because this is a picture of one being filmed is the thing).
When I saw this setup, print in Esquire, I assumed they had built a physical crawl, dragged through the camera's field of view to create the effect. Looking closer, though, it's obvious that it was the camera that moved in this setup, slowly and carefully rolled back over the glossy, printed plate, which measured about six feet long.
It looks like a colored lightbox with the letters glowing through an opaque film. Awesome. You know, it's amazing what you can accomplish even without computers. Kidding, computers are life.,

That is SO cool. I love that there's a big old Hoth background nesting in the shadows back there.
Motion control cameras are fun to watch.
