Hi Folks

I've been slaving away on a title sequence for a spoof BBC 'London Tonight' style program which comes up in the middle of this new feature film I'm doing called 'Dark Hunter'

Anyway I've got the intro online and would appreciate any feedback you can give me...

This is the News!!!

I made the thing using a combination of Flash, After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop & 3dMax, so a real amalgamation of stuff.

Cheers

It looks authentic, if thats the effect you wanted, then you've suceeded.
However, unless you live in the london t.v region, and are thus not familiar with that intro- it would have no baring. So if, for example you were gonna show it to an american, they may not feel it was authentic because they are not aware of the comparison with the real sequence.

In saying that, i'm really impressed with the way you copied theire sequence- goes to show, some company prob got paid a mega wedge to make the original, and you can do it at home, for free! Ever thought of doing that stuff as a side line?

its a good copy for want of a better word, i wouldnt call it a spoof tho becos its not funny. Just out of interest how many hours did it take to create and what program did you use?

Looks pretty good. It's probably much much longer than it would be in reality though and visually gets a little boring. Does it need such a long running time?

Hey there.

Looked good to me man. Reminded me a lot of BBC NEWS 24. Like the other guy said. It's a little longer than the usual evening news report titles but the bbc often runs an intro at about that length.

Despin out.
