I notice it says that there are 3", 2" and 1" versions of the end title sequence. I wonder if this means they're going to neaten up the throw to to regions by actually ending the bulletins again.

Sky News staff seem to prefer working in the newsroom round the corner which is out of shot most of the time.


Well the bench behind the main news desk is for editors. If you're eagle-eyed enough you can often see Paul Bromley (Viewers Editor), and others.

Is that a new coffee table?

Where does it say that.

Also in those webcam shots, is that a window, or projectors, if so, could they get a new backing with a sort of etched globe/ring moteif to match the main set?

No, it's new. Those are projectors in the background but no plans for a different image, AFAIK.

Also, well done Martin...

So that image there right now with the white seats is the current set? Flippin' awful. That red sofa is a great improvement.

Woah, they are fast titles aren't they!

Seeing the VT work in those shapes for the Local News, makes me think a graphic and VT merged countdown, may be possible!

I think the titles are good, but not as good as the current NWT titles,

I hope NWT change a bit of the set, like those blue lights and bring back the window!

wow!

although a bit blurry, they look great... shame about the similar music for the Generic titles, but the regional music sounds so much better than now..

the speed helps I think, making it seem more pacy and les sluggish, like the current ones

Hmm.. not too sure about most of the way it animates, although the final image of the rings pulsing up and down around the globe looks lovely.

A bit disappointed that there's not much noticable difference in the music, but overall while these aren't as good as the original 1999 package (while the cream is a bit outdated now, the titles and original music in '99 hasn't been bettered since) they're such a massive improvement on the current red-on-black titles.
