It's been over a year since the last 2002 countdown update. I've been leaving mistakes there, and I've been noticing a lot of stuff going on in the real deal from time to time. 2 days ago, it was finally time to update the remake once and for all. Here's the updates:

The flap's lighting are heavily edited.
The flaps flap a bit slower, but doesn't have the speed of the V1 flap.
The background is remastered and slowly moves. The background appears to be light blue stripes on a dark blue background. The cycle repeats after 30 seconds.
A white explosion has been added everytime the flaps open.
Sparkles are added to the numbers, background and HNY sign.
Confetti from the stock footage has been replaced, and some even goes in front of the HNY sign.
The stars have been textured into the closed flaps. An image of that texture zooms out and fades, transitioning to the star's explosion.
The HNY sign has been retextured, I said red-orange, but decided it was too much orange, so I did white-yellow.
Red fireworks have been added, and they go in a pattern, seen below.
The numbers have been updated, with the outlines turned from gold to orange-grey, and a little (supposed) shadow effect around the white numbers. The animation and spinning has also been altered to look like the real deal.
A shadow now emits from the numbers.
The HNY sign slowly moves towards the camera, and continues until it zooms out.
The HNY also turns during it's zoom-in. The real deal has this too.
The background has been changed from dark blue to black.


Firework Pattern:
1. Top Left (Start)
2. Top Right (Start)
3. Centre
4. Right
5. Bottom Left
6. Top Left
7. Bottom Right
8. Top Left
(cycle repeats from 3)

Mistakes I couldn't add due to bugs:
The star flap's shadows.
The stars that explode at midnight were supposed to go behind the HNY sign, but I was using the Video Sequence Editor for compositing, so I really couldn't do anything about it.

Later Updates:

Mistakes will be fixed.

Took me a few times to render, due to mistakes, but finally, I get to upload this.

Tell me if you see any mistakes, except for the ones I listed above.
