I like True Blood's opening too. Another favorite of mine is In Plain Sight on USA networks. I couldn't find a youtube clip of it but here's a link to full episodes on their website.
I love how the photos blend into new scenes. Fits into the show's premise quite perfectly since it is about the characters being U. S Marshals who who run Witness Protection.
I miss the "Step by Step" opening theme at the carnival, haha :) Reminds of me of the good ol' TGIF days! youtube.com/watch?v=5y42dFQizJ8.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
