Members Sylph Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 What I love about the original is: Downtown. Again. The pink gloves. The hat. Caroline Spencer! That still is a knock-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 It's absolutely gorgeous. Too much text on the screen, but whatevs. I do have to say it reminds of either a telenovela or Home and Away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted February 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yes I love that and how it goes from day to night. Beautiful! I also like the closeup shots of the person snapping a camera. I've noticed that no matter what that type of shot always seems to make it into an episode that contains a fashion type show or something. I like that it was put into the opening as well, because it's such a part of the show. Another noteworthy shot to me, the one of the 4 womens legs walking down the runway. IDK why but I just love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wow, that was REALLY unique and kind of awesome. Bravo for one soap putting some thought into their titles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 Do you think, given what Brad has done to most of B&B's mainstays, that it was for the best that Bill Bell killed off Caroline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 Like DaytimeFan, I like the brash glam of the original. I'll concede that it was and perhaps belongs in its time though, the two updated openings have been well done, I just wish the melody was a *little* stronger. I wonder if they could do an animated pencil drawing effect for a new Y&R opening, the cast members' names in Y&R's classic Century Gothic-ish font over the character's first names written out in Dvore font. I know that's kinda like AMC's short-lived Sedona credits, but I'd prefer that use of those classic fonts over the current scripty font which is sort of a psuedo-mix of the two.

Members Sylph Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 Bill Bell killed Caroline? Yeah, it's for the best she's gone. The show is a shadow of its former self and has been for about a decade. Or even more. I either don't care or hate any of the main people on this show. Thank you, Brad.

Members MichaelGL Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 This opening gives me the feeling that I'm watching a prime time soap, or in this case, the short lived telenovela Fashion House. I like the concept, it's a fresh idea that and sets it apart from any past soap openings. Would it be too naive of me to assume that it'd be easy to update as well?

Members SFK Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 I would think/hope so, you could always stick somebody else up on that balcony. The problem with additions to credits has always been the "sore thumb" effect of the new shots not matching with the original production values. Perhaps with this all being so heavily digital it'll b easier to match quality. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 to me it looks like it would be harder than the current opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 I guess they can just put people in front of a green screen and CGI stuff around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
