"Opening sequence"
hey guys,

this may seem like a silly topic and way too late to mention, but does anyone else think that the opening sequence for TAR2 was a lot staler than the first one? It seemed almost amateurish as if they had been told to stand and face eachother and then turn and look at the camera with a big phony grin--most notably for Mary and Peach, the twins, and Chex, not to mention Deidre and Hilary's cheesy high five. A couple of exceptions--the only one I liked was Cindy and Russell's. The snow falling with the cathedral in the background was pretty cool, but I still liked the first season's opener better...especially the way it began with Paul and Amie. I hope this season's opening is more like the first. And I know I'm gonna get railed for this, but I actually liked Phil's voiceover--made it seem more dramatic. Incidentally, does anyone know where I can find an MPEG or other video file of the first season's opener? I can't find it anywhere.

sorry for the long post, but I'm a newcomer to this site and I've wanted to bring this up for a long time! I'll be more succinct in the future. Promise!

Welcome to the boards Joey! I'm sure you'll find whatever it is you're looking for here And don't worry about being succinct; everyone rambles from time to time and it's quite alright

Joey:

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but I think the opening sequence was "homogenized" because the first season's opening sequence included too many clues as to who stuck around. If you watched the first season, you knew that Frank would stick around until he went swimming in an icy hole.

But I do agree those goofy smile shots are boring. Let's hope they jazz it up a little. And hey, welcome to the boards!


These reality show contestants need a reality check!

thanks for the welcome guys,

I agree with you, joisey, about the clues kind of giving away who stuck around. I had pretty much figured out WHY they changed the opening but I couldn't understand why they made it so dopey. The first season's was just so faced paced and it matched the music. The second one was kind of a letdown...after the cool camera zooming past the plane part we get a field of grass and then blake and paige strolling along as opposed to the way the fire image kind of quickly transitioned into the torch Amie was holding, if I remember correctly...i haven't seen it in so long. I'm not really sure how they could jazz it up, but that turn into the camera and smile thing has got to go.
