Everything about this video is perfectly awful. Has me rolling around in stitches every time.

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.

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”

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.

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.

Not remotely funny. Just a bit scary.

They’ve got a copy of After Effects and they’re going to use it.

In some parts of the world The Day Today credits are used as a teaching aid on media studies courses. Fact!

That’s some lacklustre waving.
