Surprised no one has noticed there's now video clips being uploaded...

Countdown (well a bit of it!)

Play about and you'll find the others and interestingly enough, the visuals on the nations are an old version and not the final..

(the clue is in the placenames!)


Any idea what format i could save that in to get it to play on my mac? MOV doesn't work Sad


Same situation with me. The Mac is not happening Wink


Download Flip4Mac - They're windows media files so quicktime can't play unless it gets an update...

I love the new countdown music, especially the last 30 seconds, with the strings and then the extra drum beats in the background. Thanks to whoever found it! Razz

So the countdown has not changed - only the music. The music for the News channel countdown seems to be the 60-second version but if you were to play the full countdown we already got with the video we now have, the countdown music would continue past 00:00...hence I think the second half of the countdown we heard is NOT the final version that we'll see on Monday, even though the first 30 seconds of it are.

Ergh, don't talk to me about semiotics! Its so difficult to de-construct all your imagery to try and see every possible meaning that could be implied from it. Some people make a lot of money assessing the semiotics for ad agencies.



Difficult but necessary, and it's where good designers earn their money from

I'm reminded of the irony of one of the main figures in semiology (the science of signs) got run over by a bus.... he spent his life analysing signs, but didn't spot the signs that there was a bus coming!

It would appear that the last 60 seconds of the 90-second countdown we found are the new BBC News Channel countdown...
