Old-school filmmaking: they shoot a frame or two, then manually adjust letters as it were claymation, then shoot another few frames, etc, then project the finished product on glass behind which. It was agonizingly slow, which is why most shows back then had intros and outros that remained unchanged for years at a time. (Contrast to today, where we were subconsciously annoyed were we didn't get a new mechanical city update in the "Game of Thrones" opening every other episode.)
The stuff was no easy in the least. (I forget the name of a documentary that focused on the making the 1977 "Star Wars" famous title-crawl, and how much of a pain in the ass it was.)

Yes, but the difference here is the way the letters are animated separately, still, it could be.
