victoria foxton Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Gave me a headache. Sonny face is the first face we see. It can't be Laura's. So generic and cheaply produced. Failing to capture any of the shows heart. Like Faces of the Heart did. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eboneece Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 Oh my. That opening is terrible. It would be somewhat passable if it had a quarter of the cast pictures shuffling through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 They need to do different versions and slow it down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 I mean, just do a title screen as they did for years. As DAYS has done for 54 years. Doesn’t need updating. And it would be miles better than... *that*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 It’s pretty awful. There is an artful way of doing a cheaper opening. The last ABC era AMC one was infinetly better than this and it was pretty jumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 Doctor Who famously took a fan-made intro and used it as their official one (with tweaks). ABC could have had a contest in which they provided certain specs (duration, images, music, etc) and let fans have at it. Might have been a good way to encourage engagement.

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don't hate it. Could be longer and slower. But, I don't hate it. Because. I have always wanted a GH opening with a gold backdrop. And, Jon is in it. For the first time in almost 20 [!@#$%^&*] years. JL is in the opening. Also. Remember this. Ad time is what is causing these short openings. This is why there's rarely any prime time theme songs anymore either. If you want to blame anyone. Blame the FCC. They are the cause of [!@#$%^&*] like this. Shows have been getting shorter and shorter for years. I'd to see this be another version of FOTH. With the golden backdrop. But, the FCC is not gonna be like here have a 1:24 opening. It would be beautiful if they redid that ending in that version with Ava/Ryan/Laura.

Members Faulkner Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yeah, I don’t think we’ll ever see GH with a 30+ second intro like in the Riche era. I think B&B only airs its long intro once or twice a week. But simplicity can be fine. Many of our most iconic soap intros never featured actors, as we all know. ATWT should have just stuck with the spinning globe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 The best ATWT opening was the one with the bird. The one after that with the characters...well, the music in that sounded like a toilet flushing every few notes. I wish we could get a long version of this maybe once a week. But, I still think they lost the rights to FOTH so....it still wouldn't work. Someone should do a fan made version of this. Slowed down. With the FOTH music. Cause, that's basically my dream opening.

Members dragonflies Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 I hate for them to copy anything, this might have been better if they did something similar to AMC's "Falling pics" opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 Don't forget for over 10 years, in the show's early years, it was just a black (and later blue) screen with simply the lettering with the name of the show. I am still of the opinion that the ambulance opening introduced in 1975 (first with a George Wright composition and later, "Autumn Leaves") was sort of a visual rip off of the prime time show "Medical Center", that aired on CBS at the time.
