BBC HD

I'm a big fan of the new BBC HD idents. They are shot beautifully and capture the essence of the BBC's high-def output brilliantly - bringing the viewer something spectacular.

The cover all the bases, too... Wildlife shows...



...Strictly Come Dancing...



...Crufts!



...Music (This one's a bit cheesy and I think the weakest of the set)



And fishing/wildlife/kids!



I'm especially fond of the way the idents resolve in a very neat and gentle way after the initial surprise and excitement.

Interestingly there's something rather European about the idents as well, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Very nice. And a vast improvement on their previous CGI 1980's style effort! (which seems to have vanished from YouTube!)
