Tinkered around with the original GMB horn fanfare and came up with bombastic and OTT intro and stings for the breakfast version of the hilarious The Day Today, because facts into flakes drenched in banter equals newsli.

Not sure on that music, but the graphics on that is brilliant!! Would love to see what you could do to the current GMB to make it much better that it is

Don't like what you've done to the music, but the animation is fantastic!

Love it. Maybe the theme tune isn't appropriate, but is a good twist on the old tune. Would love to see more work from you! Was just wondering what programme you've used to create this, and how difficult at was?
Well done. 4/5

Graphics are great! Music needs changing though.

Nice job! Can you do the Lunchtime, Evening and Late versions of TDT graphics, but with the ITV News music?

You need that GMB-like logo to turn into an endless void at some point Very Happy

Any chance of uploading to YouTube? For some reason it's not playing.

Thanks, can I ask you to have another watch of the original The Day Today titles to convince you in favour of the music.

Not even in the context of something which aims to satirise the pomposity, grandure and self-importance that news broadcasts of our age are in danger of adopting?

Thanks very much. But I'm standing by the music as appropriate for a comedy programme satirising breakfast television. Links to previous bits and pieces on the right somewhere >>>>>>. All of it created with After Effects, Aurora 3d, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator. It was enjoyable, I enjoyed it and time flies when you're enjoying yourself, so I really haven't got a clue as to how long sorry... this and that now and then rather than a start-to-finish sort of project.

Thank you. I considered using the original The Day Today theme, but I thought this overblown horn would work better as the tune is obviously more of a 'waking-up' sort of tune but entirely over-the-top as opposed to The Day Today theme which has a much more 'later in the day' rushing home from work but entirely over-the-top sort of rhythm to it.
