Easy: old school video games such as those found on the Sega MasterSystem, MegaDrive and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
These old 16 and 32 bit consoles harken back to a simpler age and acts as strong nostalgia to me, and as I fit into the demographic for the channel, others watching as well.

A priliminary idea I have concocted it an old school controller (in the same vain as the Mega Drive) being used (in a First Person Perspective) which then looks up to an old TV (common in the time of 80s/90s) with a E4 logo on the screen. It sounds simple at the moment, so I want to add some more elements to it but am unsure what just yet.
Here is rough drawing to demostrate the look, with out a purple hued background.
The soundscape I'm going to use is DRONE BEAT 7, as it sounds like a level music in a game being heard through old, muffled speakers common in TVs of the age.
It will all be in 3D.
Here is a Pre-vis to demonstrate it:
So this is where it stands at the moment.

your reasoning is sound, Earl - but your pre-viz lacks dynamism - everything is too passive - identify ways to add some tingle!
Yeah, I agree. It needs 'something' to add to it but not quite sure what yet. I'm sure me and Alan can discuss it to tomorrow. I have some ideas (camera placement on buttons) but needs it fleshed out. Hopefully Tomorrow :)
Ah, I had a Master System, Mega drive, and a Snes. The good old days.
I agree with Phil however, your pre-viz is pretty dull. Nothing wrong with your starting point but it needs life. Look at the existing E-stings and notice the humour, energy, and vitality.
Hi ho! Love the retro idea! Snes has to be my all-time favorite! Anyways, was just gonna mention that Gametrailers.com has a really great and energetic retro-intro to their game-reviews. Maybe you could get some ideas on how to spice it all up and add some life to your sting.
