HD upscaled titles & restored stereo music | BBC News | 1997

I went back to basics for this one. I re-digitised the 720x576 titles in 25i from my DV tape, then used Topaz AI to upscale it into 1920x1080 in 50p. Most of it looks good. The presenters look a bit plastic and wide shots don't work very well.
Then I synced the title themes and music beds with stereo files generously given to me by ‪@hoanganhkheo-editor‬

    For 1993 when they created this new computer generated news studio, it was really very good. Always remember, people watching in 1993 - 1999 were watching this in analogue television sets, and so watching it on that system would have made this look out of this world and high tech.

    Ahh lovely! Over 12 years ago there used to be a whole video of clean music-beds and lead-ins of the news themes but it disappeared, so great to see and hear this! Loved the presentation and music of this era of BBC News, really impactful and elegant. Thanks!

    It was fun piecing it together, and humming the theme tune for days afterwards.

    @@vhs_videohomesystem The themes are so catchy aren't they! The virtual studio still looks amazing as a whole (thuogh the lighting rig looks pretty sparse and fake now) , the CG cut-glass coat of arms still looks crisp and attractive, really looks like glass. Great upscale as well, really brings out the details. News sets all look a bit samey these days, this really stands out. Lambie Nairn did an amazing job of updating the BBC's corporate look in the 90s, from the cold elegance of this, to the eccentric quirkiness of the BBC2 idents. And it all comes together.

    Looks amazing. The 9 o'clock news set was especially impressive; I like the way that the coat of arms is shown facing the camera (rather than at an angle in the other bulletins), but the way the desk is distorted and then peters out behind the coat of arms is weird. It would have been better if the desk had not been extended that much, so that all that could be seen behind the coat of arms was the dark blue studio wall.

    Just shows how majestic BBC News theme tunes used to be, before it was all poured into a food blender and dished out in 1999 as the new BBC News corporate theme which we have had in one form or another since then.

    I could recall LITERALLY before 2022 that there were multiple, and i mean MULTIPLE videos of the BBC News 1993 theme package, actually some parts of the Six O'Clock News package is considered *lost media*, because of mandatory KZread copyright guidelines, which in turn brings the moderation into effect. I remember there being headline recap themes, and a stinger that sounds closely to that of the Hourly Bulletins.

    NewsNight was a bit off, and the intro headlines for the One O’Clock News was a bit slow, apart from that, the rest was fine - good job - well done!.

    Your video is so great, there's nothing to criticize! Increased the video quality to 4K and also increased the frame rate to 50 frames per second. (Remember to write in the description that the music copyright belongs to George Fenton/BBC)
