New studio for Germany's Tagesschau news

BTW, for those who haven't seen the movie:

It's quite common in some countries to use that style of presentation. German news programmes often start with that kind of "behind the scenes" shot before their opening sequences. I think N-tv did the same thing at the top of the hour?

In Sweden SVT at one point ended Rapprt (their news programme) on a wide shot with a credit strap, then panned the camera to the Sportnytt set and ran the opening titles with no junction from pres. Worked ok - but always seems a bit odd to a Brit. Not sure they still do it - haven't watched that junction for a while.

If there's any video of that it sounds great

I can't find any clips of the SVT transition mentioned by noggin, but here's a cool transition between the news and a discussion program from ORF in Austria:



And here's N24 in Germany with a long shot of the desk before the TOTH sequence:

Those are nice. ORF one needed a few more mixes instead of cuts on the vision mixer I feel. It's a little jarring.

Eh? There was one cut in the opening sequence (which fitted quite well with the abrupt end of the music) and a one perfectly good cut in the closing sequence.

(But then I'm old school - and worked in 2 machine edits where you couldn't mix. If you need a mix you've got the wrong shots!)

Haha, very nice

I thought a mix to the close up of the Europa presenter would have been a bit nicer, but hey, personal preference
