Downton Martin Abbey

Downton Abbey gets the Martin TV show opening credits treatment.

See the original Martin opening credits sequence here: http://youtu.be/kF4H5vZ-Km4

You can follow me on Twitter at @thegeoffman and I make videos with my brother, Nick over at TownieNews.com

I was overly excited to watch a new episode of Downton Abbey one night and for some reason I started humming "Downton" along to the old "Martin" theme song. One thing led to another and here we are. I made this entirely from scratch and tried to match the original Martin sequence in terms of color and style as best I could. It took way longer to make than I originally thought (making all those customized As and Os didn't help matters), but I was really happy with how it turned out.

Now if I could only get all the Downton Abbey actors to move and dance around in costume in front of a green screen for me, then I'd really hit the jackpot. Make it happen, PBS!

Hugh Bonneville as Robert Crawley!

I know, I know. Big egg on my face there. Must have watched this a couple hundred times while making it and I never noticed a giant glaring error. I fixed it and made a new version yesterday, though.

[BillDukeForehead]

He was a REALLY tough call- I just didn't have time and space for everyone. Love me some Branson (aka Jorah).

Sorry. I was just being my perfectionist self. It's a cute vid and great concept.

Some clips of the characters movie or dancing would have made it perfect, instead of just the photoshop cutouts. still cool though
