Administrator Toups Posted June 23, 2009 Administrator Share Posted June 23, 2009 Oh, I like that! I also liked the previous short opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 23, 2009 Administrator Share Posted June 23, 2009 Dude, that was really good! Loved the music, the O's/bubble transitions, and all the shots/photos look like it all came from the same source so nobody looks out of place. Great job!

Members rhythmchyc Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hold on, why can't they make a new opening but they updated the middle portion regularly of the show over the past few years, from the moving silhouettes to the stills today?

Members CSF Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 And they do a shitty job because it's so tacky looking! That's Bloom's ABC influence. They should have left the mid-break bumper's alone. How I wish someone competent filled Lucy Johnson's position. I'll never forget those CBS Daytime promos during her reign.

Members DavidEvanSmith Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks Toups (and Manny!) BTH is definitely in the flavor of an ABC soap, so I wanted an opening that fit that format, with its own twists. Glad you liked it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 27, 2009 Members Share Posted June 27, 2009 Friday Night Lights has a simple, but very effective, opening that fits the show extremely well. The only issue that I've always had with it is that the cast names appear over random clips from the show, so you get the weirdness of having this gorgeous Taylor Kitsch head shot with Aimee Teegarden's name plastered over it. That's a little sloppy, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted June 27, 2009 Members Share Posted June 27, 2009 Not sure if anyone knows this but there is a trance version of Nadia's theme on iTunes. It's pretty cool, but it wouldn't fit into a Y&R opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted June 28, 2009 Members Share Posted June 28, 2009 C'mon with Paul Rauch there, you guy's will be lucky to get any opening longer than 15 seconds. I do kind of fear though, that if anyone else leaves who's in the current Y&R open, the show won't have any other choice than to simply show the logo bc they obviously are hesistant for some reason to add new people into the open.

Members CSF Posted June 29, 2009 Members Share Posted June 29, 2009 He did give One Life to Live their all time best opening in 1984. I just think that Paul Rauch hated Guiding Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ian Posted June 29, 2009 Members Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think that if they want to have the cast pictures, they should work with a format that's easier to update. The current opening is very specific, and the clips have to be blended, and have the same brightness/contrast. They don't want their updates to be too noticeable (like OLTLs which was a hackjob when they'd add new people, and very blatantly obvious). B&B does a fine job of updating their opening regularly and it just involves splicing in a couple of frames. The actors names is an important trademark of Y&R, and B&B had the right idea however the character's names are a little tacky... and besides the actor/character names scroll by so quickly I doubt many can read it anyway. But, I think that's the issue of WHY soaps don't update their openings is because it's hard to make updates look like they're part of the opening itself, so they just put it off. I like how Y&R used to do a decent job of showcasing pretty well who was in the episode in their opening. I thought that was pretty smart on their part.

Members y&r_fan Posted October 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thought I'd bump this thread. Rauch said he was waiting to hear back about when he could proceed with the new opening - maybe they're waiting for Eric Braeden to re-sign?
