What if BBC Arabic's TOTH countdown were more like the countdowns on BBC News 24 or World!

Added the pips, numbers and BBC Arabic DOG.

  • Looks nice - shame you didn't put the last pips up an octave rather than a 4th! - as in the current BBC countdown - but they are in tune at least -

    Dave H - composer of BBC Arabic News Music

  • I can't believe you've watched this / commented! The internet is truly ridiculous.

    Well the reason I didn't put the pips up the octave, is because unlike the real countdowns, I made the pips on the dominant rather than the tonic (cos it worked better for your theme) but then it made more sense for them to go up a fourth to the tonic for the last 10 seconds. It's better than the abortion they have now - going up at 7 seconds and continuing after the numbers have hit zero!

  • That is one of the best Amatuer BBC mock videos I've seen on youtube. It's slick, creative, and realistic. Very well done! :)

  • Thanks Jesse, although I think like above I need to let you know just how little I actually did with this...

    However if you want to see "one of the best Amateur BBC mock videos" check out my countdown compilation :P

  • i think this piece looks more finished and BBCesque, if you will than your previous attempt

    :)

    good job. but still, what are men from india dipping in the river doing in arabia?

  • What are you talking about??? I didn't edit the footage together - it's the actual TOTH sequence that is used on BBC Arabic, I just added the 'pips' to the music and the DOG and the numbers...

  • This is a greats tune... well done

  • @sourceinquirerSTAR the real countdown does not have a DOG or pips. FFS know what your talking about before submitting posts!

  • Because the real version doesn't have the BBC Arabic sign nor a countdown. 'Mock' doesn't mean satire.

  • no its not.

  • i know - the real version is the bbc (english) , but realy wana say that bbc world servies has the most lovely start music news in the world

    that is truth !! :)

  • David Lowe, the music composer of BBC News.

  • This is clean, not flat at all. i like it!

    hope theywill use this :)

  • The pips are added to the audio. See posts below!
