Generic Graphics - W. Knight - 03-04-2022
Looking at the TV pres with similar ideas thread, I notice there's a good chunk of TV presentation that seems to follow a ready-made template, than having reminiscing elements, like BSkyB's The Movie Channel and the NBC movie opener. This makes me search for other variants of the same computer animations, and here they are:
![[Image: NBC%20Movie%20Opener.png]](https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Knight%20in%20West/NBC%20Movie%20Opener.png)
First, picking up from NBC, there's more in the family tree than BSkyB and Seven - TV3 in New Zealand followed the American animations even to the font.
Meanwhile in Asia, Star Movies' variant (1994) is carbon copied by Zee Cinema (1995) in India, even to the placement of the word Cinema/Movies in a rectangle box.
La Cinq, the short-lived French channel, adopted part of the formup (the film strips), but the opening statue makes me think of something else...

One unexpected parallel is CBS' Get Ready graphics (using KDKA as an example) in 1989. Similar styles and placements were utilized in TVA affiliate CHEM-TV.
Aside from these, are there more examples of pres bits and pieces used around the world? What was the principle behind it?

The reason? Existing template from the graphics production house. Drop the clients logo and lettering in their corporate style on the top, but keep (or recolout) the swerling backgrounds.
The NBC/Sky examples were not done in house, but from a company in LA called GRFX Novocom.

Also happens with Audio idents. C3NE and Sky News 1996? I think being a good example.

Pretty odd choice methinks, especially since, if I recall, Saints Row takes place in Michigan, not Britain
Perhaps they didn't have enough money to use an American broadcaster's news music?

(The original Saints Row + SR2 are both set in the fictional city of Stilwater, loosely based upon the real life city of Detroit, which of course is in the state of Michigan, although apparently has some elements of Chicago, Illinois. SR3 was set in a new fictional city called Steelport, loosely based upon a combination of NYC, with elements of Pittsburgh and Bridgeport, Connecticut.)

Wasn't Granadas "Bringing the News Home to You" intro at the turn of the century a template also used in the US - Boston I think.

The 1986 BBC Breakfast Time titles were the same as the CBS morning show ones from the same era, albeit with more polished animation.

Didn't a version of the utv live music, (as it was library music) get played in a motorway service station?

Speaking of ITN, I remember the ITV News 2004 theme music play on a sketch on The Peter Serafinowicz Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD7xGtVHwZw
Was it stock music perhaps?

Written specially for ITV News but went onto KPM as stock yes.

I would link to their website, but it's blocked here in the UK.
So, here's the twitter page

This is a test.
