The lower thirds look good not so sure about the use of the BBC theme.

Still think it’s pretty incredible what you’re able to produce, my only thing watching this was the pacing at time felt very rushed to get through certain lines and your annunciation of some words wasn’t as clear as what it needed to be.

Otherwise, great job as always Leo.

Good job i watched the full bulletin after not watching for a few weeks. The theme music is fine much better than what you were using before less loud as well. However there are quite a lot of pauses of 2 or 3 seconds before the report plays. Is there a reason for that?

I don’t like the long closure being almost a minute it provides no purpose and i would prefer actual content in its place.

Keep up the good work.

legally it’s not - we purchased it and it’s not identical. not their official theme

gonna be totally honest, the original recording was deleted and a re-record was done later

it’s not causing content to be lost though since we don’t have a time limit - we just add it in because “why not”

You do have a time limit which is why your latest bulletin was 24 minutes or 23 minutes without the closure and not over 60 minutes.

No, we aim for about 18-25 minutes every bulletin

Never had a strict requirement

So just stop watching at 23 minutes when the content is done. You don’t have to stay for the whole thing?

Sure i can do that and so do probably 99 percent of people who watch so why waste the video time?

Anyway each to their own.

Jason goes on about the long closer every so often but there are some of us (speaking for myself anyway) who like that it’s there.

Since the days of long closers on TV are gone it’s nice someone still does it. That’s the bonus of it being on YouTube and not TV… there’s no such thing as wasted time and if you don’t like something you can skip it.

It’s a YouTube bulletin. It doesn’t matter how long it is.

If i am being completely honest the pause of 1 to 3 seconds between when the script finishes and the story package plays and after when going back to Leonardo is more annoying then a longer closure.

I always thought that was done on purpose like how the delay is to a live cross on normal FTA television. He could instead have an animation

I think it’s a nice touch to be honest.

I have to agree I like the pause.

If your throwing to a live cross it’s fine and expected but at the start and end of a recorded package it’s not so much expected.

Love the new graphics! I dunno , there is something about it and doesn’t take up the full screen… great coverage from the team lately. Lots going on!

A few mic issues on my end in the latest bulletin but we will be back next week and hopefully with the weather again - lots of it too with another low pressure system expected into next week.
