Best bits:
1) “Do not miss this programme – it will change your life” – said as if it won’t change your life
2) The two presenters coming back at the end again, to have another little wave
3) The three little green graphic balls that suddenly appear, and then move vertically up through a dark blue ball before going up through a large turquoise, circular, swipey thing. What editing setting is that?

Horriferful!
My favourite bits:
1)0:40 – Man operates unconvincing puppet, almost loses finger in aural cleansing coil.
2)1:01 – Man looks at lady as if to say ‘We’re going to fly backwards past lots of rectangles now. Look directly at me if you want to live.’
3)1:15 – Man on slightly too fast carousel preaching to the back of the head of the similar looking man in front.
Yes!

These channels are almost worth the expense of getting sky telly…oh wait I just noticed I can watch online! Yay
I didn’t know Industrial Light & Magic did religious programming
Every video editing sweep/fade in the book, 3d graphics aplenty.
The man on a turntable, in a stopwatch, in a book, then back in the stopwatch again! Very modern/cool.
It almost goes into the big brother logo around 01:06.
They still can’t get a microphone and talk into it properly tho.
That’s some lacklustre waving.
In some parts of the world The Day Today credits are used as a teaching aid on media studies courses. Fact!
They’ve got a copy of After Effects and they’re going to use it.
Not remotely funny. Just a bit scary.
Good wow. I’m going to start recording that.
Oh dear. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to watch this awful video sequence. I might have to go lie down for a while now from viewing all those whizzy effects, my head is spinning.
I like the way that the editor has clearly lost control of his equipment in the same way Mickey Mouse does with those broomsticks in Fantasia.
I picture him sobbing in the corner of a room as the two hosts, credits roller and any other material is swept up into a blizzard of flying boxes etc.
This reminds me of Microsoft power point presentations where people add different effects and transitions on every single text, graphic, and slide possible, just for the sake of doing so, except magnify that ten times. Watching that credit sequence looks like a drug trip.
It’s especially great that it’s basically ‘transitioning’ over the same scene over and over again, meaning they don’t even go to a different camera or different person really. “And now we’re going to switch gears by showing you the same thing 20 different ways”
My favourite bit was when the little picture of the presenters flipped upside down, but the upright version was still there, leaving two images, opposite ways up, occupying the same box, for no reason. Then they zoom to fill the screen and when they get there the upside down image immediately vanishes, replaced by that cityscape that apparently they can only use in fullscreen mode. Genius.
Everything about this video is perfectly awful. Has me rolling around in stitches every time.
