I wish David Lowe had given the news channel a little motief theme, like World News has with its siren sounds. It would have separated it a little bit more from domestic news.
Yes. I think this sound (prevalent in some form until 2008) may have been intended as an equivalent.

Don't know if this was David's idea but 24 did have a rock guitar rift once.

My favourite BBC News 24/Channel titles music ever.
Oh, that was that god-awful temporary News 24 studio that was CSO. I'd forgotten about that short era while the 2003 set was being built.
The 5pm opening newsroom wideshot is pre-recorded unless the same people were going up the spiral staircase at exactly the same time two days in a row - which is of course possible.
I really don't like the five and nine pm hours on the news channel just because of the virtual studio and the world one doesn't look very nice with the newsroom backdrop , I just really don't like the newsroom shot they use , because it looks frosted and the glass barriers look fake ( or is it just me? )
Right, lets try and put the argument to sleep that the titles are out of sync with the visuals.
I've re-sync'd them by a bit of audio ripping and Adobe Premier Pro work.
If they put the music in time with the visual morphing of the globe (basically how it used to be) and took 2 seconds off the long newsroom and a second of the studio pan... these are the end results...
Yes I think the sound is out of sync, but the pacing feels wrong with them also. Here is my attempt at re-editing the titles to add an extra shot, reduce the length of the sweeps, and to remove the box logo in a more graceful way!
The new cameras do create very fluid shots when moving, very smooth sweeping. Out of interest is there more than one camera on the same track and if so are the cameras intelligent enough to know not to bump into one another. Another thing I notice is tv cameras being in shot always used to be a no no in the old days but we have seen these new cameras in shot a fair bit. I'm assuming this is partly because these cameras are quite minimalist compared to the older studio cameras?
Chris Cook has been very kindly doing a TV Forum Q and A for the last hour or so on Twitter if anyone else has any questions! I think I've asked my fair share.
