original title sequence ...
-
I can get a good quality version of the title sequence - though it would include the Challenge logo. Presumably you would be interested in the series 1 - 3 version of it. I cannnot upload it until Sunday, as I've currently packed up my computer (I've got a TV Capture card) ready for moving into my university accomodation tomorrow.
-
cheers, that would be great, i don't mind the challenge logo ... you don't need to make it very small either, i have a good connection ... I can wait as long as it takes
I managed to upload the scans i've done of some of the drawings I have :-
(these are keys, i didn't draw these ones, but I did inbetween the scenes)

A knice version of the S3 titles can be found here; http://www.tvwhirl.co.uk/quizshowindex.html and can be opened with Windows Media Player or Real One Player. Though it does have the Challenge! Logo on it. Hope that helps

top stuff, I could do with one thats not quite so compressed, but that was a nice memory trip

I was always interested in how cartoons were made, not just in watching them - I watched Rolf's Cartoon Club (and I joined it!) on CITV as regularly as I watched Knightmare.
Thanks so much for sharing those drawings - the opening animation sequence, with the theme music running alongside it, was always a superb way to build up the excitement - the sense that finally, after a week's wait (or less these days if you're lucky enough to have Challenge), Knightmare was here!
In the past on the Forum, people have wondered about the creature that the knight rides past on his way to the castle - whether it's a troll, and what it's doing behind bars. It just goes to show how intriguing we find the original title sequence, two decades on!
-
Drassil, I notice you have references to superted on your web site, if you look in the folder where the knightmare drawings are, you'' see some scans of some of the superted drawings I have too ... It was the same place that made the knightmare intro, they were called Siriol, unless they changed their name without telling me, it wasn't soreal as it says on the pics pages

Hi, I've just added another image and 3 quicktime movies of drawings i've scanned.
The image is a composite of the horse and rider leaping over the chasm ( i couldn't compile it as a movie easily sorry, maybe one day)

Isn't it the same player as what you get with some chart single cd's that include a video of the song?
Just realised that I cannot use an installer (even if it is the same one) from one of my chart cd's as they all went down my cellar, as I'm trying to clear things from our house
-
Just about captured it, but I am still waiting for my room internet access to be enabled. (I am posting from a 24 hour IT suite).
-
Thanks very much indeed for going to so much time and trouble. It's been marvellous for me (and, I'm sure, everyone else here) to get such a fascinating insider's view.
Couldn't agree more, thanks very much Bli for the time and effort taken to show us these animations, it is much appreciated

Right I've captured and uploaded a version. Unfortunately Windows Movie Maker decided to play sillies towards the end of the clip.

I shall try and capture it in a better format at a later date.
-
thanks, thats great ...
Did you capture directly to wmv?
What iused to do was capture to some other format, one will little compression then convert to wmv later using the windows media converter, but not bad at all for a 2mb file, cheers ...
you can spot the drawings I've got a little easier now
if you have trouble converting the file to wmv from a larger file and have the means to upload the large file then i'll convert it for you if you want
Cheers

I do have a higher/better quality mpeg version of the file (it's taken me this long to work out why I wasn't able to capture sound properly). The file is 11.5Mb if anyone is interested.
looks at remaining bandwidth
Right I'll put the clip online for the next few days if anyone wants it, and then after 1/11 I'll take it offline and if you want it the PM me.

EDIT: Clip loads in RealPlayer - not sure about other media players.
