Opinion of this ABC Evening News intro

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Holy [inks]. Chills down my spine. Why don't they make things that look this cool anymore?

[Meclazine for Israel]

A little bit alarmist.

"Vietnamization" lol.

[ProudModerate2]

LOL.
I thought that was kool.
Freedom Intro.

LOL, that was like something from the movie Network a few years later. I get why that was considered a parody of broadcast news at the time.

This was before Barbara Walters cha-cha’d her way in and stole the spotlight from Harry Reasoner.

Harry Reasoner is such a perfect name for a news anchor.

Love the graphics from that period. Everything is WORDS THAT MOVE or FACES THAT ARE ALSO IMAGES.

Makes me think of the intro sequences to the BBC’s late 70s/early 80s election night specials. 1974 was pretty drab (but it’s cute how excited they are to show you their state of the art computers). And then you hit 1979, and they throw neon, flowing computerised images of Margaret Thatcher at you, wedged between the words POLLS, RESULTS and LOSSES. All while the electronica theme tune to a recent King Arthur movie blares in the background. (24 mins in)

It’s just silly but self-serious enough to elevate it.
