Members DRW50 Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Can anyone put together a video where the "music" leads into that Scanners head-exploding scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I am not impressed. The shots, the whole thing felt thrown together and unimaginative although I bet Phelps spent hours on it. Kudos to Jason Cook making the credits. He gets more airtime there than on the show. Frons won't cut him loose because he knows that Days would sign him in a hot second. Sonya Eddy is the only black person in PC. Since she isn't a size 4, it must have killed Phelps to have to put her in the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 this was only an online clip. We dont know yet if the opening that shows up on air will be widescreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Actually, i dont think they would. Perhaps for an apperance, maybe. But i would be shocked at anything more than that. If the show wanted Shawn, we would have a recasted Shawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted February 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I like Kimberly's. I hated Kelly Monaco's shot, her's was probably the worst, do some of these people have a problem smiling or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yes. Because they are ACTORS, darling. Don't you know that GH's cast always think they are doing Shakespeare while the rest of Daytime is merely reciting lines aloud? And the ACTING doesn't end with a speaking scene -- oh no! That's why they are all fronting like a Metamucil ad campaign in those opening credits. It's what ACTORS like Tyler Christopher and Steve Burton DO.

Members bellcurve Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 It kills ME to have her in the credits. UGH. Go away, Beulah! I didn't think the opening was THAT bad. At least the colors are somewhat brighter and not quite as seizure inducing. I wish they would have not done the actorcharacter names and just stuck with the actor names, but I can live with it.

Members Sylph Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 They are inappropriate. Whereas those blue/black tones made perfect sense knowing the dark, sinister and mob-infested world of Port Charles, these washed out grey/white/sand/whatever angelic colours make no sense.

Members bellcurve Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hey, I was at least trying to spin this into some sort of good thing. If it were up to me, it'd be a simple title card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I could live with a title card. Title card could be so much better than this. But hey, we shall all live with it. Nothing else you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Dark? Shadowy? Title card? You got it: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" Please register in order to view this content name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> And my personal fave which MUST be in an ABC vault somewhere: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I could see a Lost-esque opening for General Hospital. And I hate Lost's opening, I just mean the concept: spooky blake, show's title appears from pitch black depths over sinister, howling sounds... And then BANG!

Members UKBoi Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I think the opening has a lot of potential, if it were re-edited. It reminds me of a less well executed version of this. <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value=" Please register in order to view this content name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I think a title card would work better for most soaps these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I always loved these types of shots in such openings: Walking down the stairs (lady of the house) and then there are certain shots from this and this... A million possibilities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
