A Homage to the Blockbusters Title Sequence (2016)

[@michaelbond7652]

"What P do you call this remake?" "Perfect." "That's right."

[@archivemediavault]

Absolutely brilliant. Should be used on any future editions of the show.

[@CraneProductions27]

This is absolutely brilliant. It matches the original intro version I was introduced to when I was little. I do miss this show. Well done on this fantastic video 👏👏👏.

[@TheMarrification]

This is absolutely first rate. I love the updated HD Earth and intro graphics, and also how you incorporated elements of the first intro near the ending. This should be used in the show if the remake is still on air.

[@Paul2377]

I love this, Charlie. I wish they'd bring Blockbusters back; I remember watching it as a little kid. :)

[@twocvbloke]

Very nice intro, a nice nod to add (in my opinion) would be a statue somewhere in this version of Utopia City of Bob holding out his hand in the way he did to invite you to the next show, as a fitting memorial to him for making Blockbusters the success it was in the UK... :)

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

+twocvbloke and bob said goodbye for now or cheers

[@mrb3097]

Those titles are absolutely brilliant, so professional and a perfect update to the 1985 ITV titles. The music is great aswell - could do with a bit more bass and a longer finish like the original. Hey, I'm no professional so well done guys 11 out of 10! ITV could use those if they ever thought of bringing the show back.

[@jivebunny3765]

The theme tune is missing the last bar or two or the original, but I love the graphics.

[@koa1464]

if i were to buy itv and make a blockbusters revival i would use this as an intro

[@daviddavenport1485]

This is the battlefield for our game of speed and strategy! These are the letters that lead to victory! On...Blockbusters! With the host of Blockbusters...MIKE EMRICK!

[@BrySkye]

There's a LOT to like in this version, though I would say that I think the previous ones reference to the original opening was too good to have been dropped. The ream of paper along the bottom of the tunnel in this one seems just a bit too much like an attempt to be a reference and not quite managing it. Given time limits, personally I suppose I would have probably increased the pacing of certain parts of the exterior shots to free up some time for a hexagon spinning towards the screen displaying images. Nostalgia can be such a powerful part of these.

[@DeuteriumtheSentientMattress]

Love love love it! One thing I really wanna see is more modern gameshow themes done in an 80s-90s style - I wonder what Pointless or The Chase would look like if they were made in the 80s...

[@CharlieWheelerCM]

Keep an eye out this week - we have something for you!

[@DeuteriumtheSentientMattress]

+WhoProductions EXTRA Oooh ^^

What is it

[@kaw203]

Wow just amazing

[@duncanation]

No Pictures on the left and right of the hexagon

[@Lawson578]

Great Job, Greg Chapman!

[@adamstringer3968]

blockbusters make into

[@JeSuisRene]

Really good, but I think some parts could have been strengthened with more instruments / lines of music to give a thicker texture, maybe? Otherwise, I think that it is great! :)

[@CharlieWheelerCM]

Absolutely agree, nothing could compare to the original. I'm self taught at all things music but will bear in mind going forward! Thanks man!

[@A7XRockMyWorld]

Wow this is fantastic!! Love blockbusters openings and theme music.

[@KRPTV]

That's even better than the original, well done! Just one question remains - can I have a 'P' please Bob?!

[@michaelfortheloss292]

Of course.

[@michaelfortheloss292]

What P is the word describing this homage?

[@sophiee.h]

iconic!!!

[@97channel]

This is purely constructive criticism, because I think this is absolutely brilliant work. I think a more of a racing pace to the animation would really be awesome. A sense of "hold on to your seats.". And a bit more punch to the music. But it's an incredible effort as it is, and I'd dare say better than the official challenge revival sequence.

[@CharlieWheelerCM]

Thank you so much for your comment - these types of comment are the most valuable! We will definitely incorporate your ideas into our next attempt - if or when there is one!

[@MatgoStyles]

@@CharlieWheelerCM I don't blame you for gliding a bit slower though because it shows the exceptional detail.

[@sarahlouisesmith6800]

You, re a polite caring honest person paying for your respect for Bob who has been hosting that show since 1980,s

[@TheRojo387]

Britain's opening of Blockbusters looks ripped from the Tron movies.

[@gftyhify]

I’ll have an A please, Bob. Awesome

[@ANerdWhoDoesntKnowAnything]

Not me it was you

[@chappers791]

Actually better than my favourite version of this theme. Awesome job

[@toastedroast]

A nice touch of Nostalgia, While also could still be current

[@DEC19775]

Is this a fan made version

[@thearchitect_9553]

Phenomenal; I find nostalgia just ain't what it used to be.

[@lojosol]

Your best one yet.

[@cmyanmar13]

Lovely warm sound!

[@_WooWho]

This is your best one yet! Never mind the fact that it's incredibly faithful to the original while adding some unique touches of its own--you've got a lot more textures here than you did in all your previous ones. And you've even snuck a subtle nod to the first title sequence as well!

[@Scripture-Man]

I absolutely love this! A fantastic tribute to one of (if not _the)_ best theme tune/title sequences ever :) :) There's only one tiny little thing which bothers me… the 4th chord (last chord of the intro), you play the dominant chord (D#) but I believe it should be the tonic (G#) with a D# (inverted) bass. Also I miss the bit where a guitar plays part of the melody!

[@CharlieWheelerCM]

Sorry that I never replied to your comment! I really appreciate the feedback and would love to do another Blockbusters video sometime soon!

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

I would love for you to do a Big Break title sequence, I'm thinking of doing a title sequence for a gameshow that has never had one before *wink wink*

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

I did, 3 months ago and i never got a response back, they told me that you were busy....lol

[@cezaryszerszenowicz943]

Ashleybradbury que a minha

[@--Fish]

excellent! hope they use this one day

[@DEC19775]

That is outstanding and a tribute to the original the person that put this together should be proud

[@CharlieWheelerCM]

Really means a lot that comment! I'd love to know who made the original - the time and effort put it must have been extraordinary - you certainly don't get titles like that these days!

[@archivemediavault]

Especially as the original was shot with a large miniature and motion control photography and would have cost around 25,000 and a week's photography.

[@GreatHealer.]

Tune! 😆👍🏻

[@CharlieWheelerCM]

Glad you like it, I did my best to capture the essence of Ed Welch's marvellous original!

[@GreatHealer.]

Charlie Wheeler and marvellous it is, sadly they don't make them like they used to :(

[@The-Underbaker]

This is the dog's dangly bits, top work! Only thing i'd change is a bit more bass added to the music to give it more "punch", especially at the very end for the "DA DA DA DAH". I'll probably sound like a grumpy old man saying this, but it's a shame there aren't shows like this any more where kids might actually learn something instead of turning into zombie cabbages! 'Back in my day...' etc. lol

[@martinquested5544]

This is one of very few covers that manages to have as full-bodied a sound as the original. Particularly the transitions at 0:07 and 0:24 are rich and detailed like the originals. Amazing work!

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

This is what I call a title sequence to revamp an old game show

[@CharlieWheelerCM]

Ashleybradbury thank you! Happy New Year!

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

and a happy new year too sir, btw have you got a facebook page or something so we can chat, as I might have a proposition for you
