Does anyone have clean BBC1 balloon idents that were from 1998 onwards? Basically the ones that were digitally inserted as well as the 'lifestyle' and special idents?

English 16-
Irish 9
Welsh 14
Scottish 12

Thanks

Checked it, only the 1997 batch.

I'm sure there exists somewhere a video of The Needles and St Michael's Mount (two of the best, in my opinion) idents back to back and in full.

Sorry for this useless post, if I find it hidden in a hard drive I'll post it here or hopefully it spurs someone else's memory.

Thanks for letting me know. Lambie-Nairn has some good quality clips on their website but they're rather short and they've been cropped to widescreen from a 4:3 source.

I've had these videos lurking on a DVD for nearly 15 years....I've been meaning to upload them for ages and your post reminded me so I've done it. Four of them are from the original 1997 set - but the other two are Carnival and Market. They're full, clean and widescreen. Sadly this is all I have....enjoy!

I like the way in the Market ident they had the perfect opportunity to mask the obvious jump at 18secs by having another person walk across the camera but thought 'nah, we won't bother'.

I don't understand why they didn't just film a bit more for the ident or just make it shorter? The whole repeating thing is a bit odd.

To add to this...

It's jarring how the balloon has totally smooth, full-rate motion, while the market action has the choppy half frame-rate look... Thus making it really apparent that it's been added in. The birds flying over, especially, reveal it.

I can't see how they would've planned it to look like that way. The whole set up of the balloon in the ident is wrong because if they had not looped it, eventually the balloon would've flown out of shot.
