## About this template

![](https://birthday.video/previews/breaking-news.webp) 

Lettered in heavy Archivo Black and Permanent Marker, it shows “BREAKING NEWS”, “Local legend Gary turns 45”, “LIVE” and “EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE” until you change them.

The colours are midnight blue, red and orange. As it plays, the lettering shimmers, the lettering rises into place, the lettering pulses and the lettering slides in. There are a warm light leak and falling confetti.

It was made with a colleague in mind, though any name works.

Fill in their name, their age, who it is from and a short message and add 2 photos or clips; extra photos get scenes of their own. Cinematic, swelling strings and piano, plays under it until you pick another tune under **Music**.
