I had yesterday two lessons, so I was off the rest of the day. In that time I did a quick mock of the BBC News 24 Countdown, but instead of a normal version I did a sombre version.

BBC News 24 Sombre Countdown

This is version 1, maybe I'll update it later with a better version.

nice use of the breakdown music there. I wish N24 would use that when they go kaboom.

I like it.... the only problem is the beeps in the Breakdown music aren't exactly 1 second apart, which makes it look a bit out of sync.

I'm no expert, so don't trust me on this, but in verison two, wouldn't a 'dum dum dum' added in the end be more affective? Also, is there anyway, please please please, that these fab sopunds can be converted into MP3 and uploaded round about here!?

Very good, well done that man. Laughing Laughing

Thanks for the comments.

-The 2nd version has a part of the headline vamp at the end for about 10 seconds, followed by the BBC News 24 Headline vamp tag.

-I'm busy to get the pips and the seconds working correctly.

-The file can be found at the same address, or click here.
