Guess TWC wasn't thinking about ever using a green screen again. :thinking:

Wonder what the heck is going on??? :wacko: Are they still in the old studio? Because couldn't they just use the green screen in the HD studio?  :dunno: So it can't be just the video wall. :no:

Second day of HD, and they had to use the green screen? :P Yeah, something must be wrong with the studio. :thinking:

Also, does anyone have a video of the new tropical update opener? :dunno: I'm not sure I like that "parallelogram." :no:

Where were they standing/sitting during Day Planner?

The first half of that open was definitely  part of MSNBC's tropical graphics last year, and if not, they're very similar.

I like it, but "Tropical Update" being on a floating parallelogram at the end seemed kinda odd to me. It would have been better with just the text by itself like it was last year.

Thanks for th video! :D Yeah, the opener is almost too dramatic. :thinking: But, after seeing the whole thing, the parallelogram is almost meant to be like a boat on the rough water. It's kind of cool. :yes:

According to one of the DP producers there wasn't a technical error this afternoon, they just wanted to record more stuff with the FEMA director so they needed the studio

I agree. Graphic is quite stunning but the music doesn't appeal to me. I am just glad those intros using those whooshing noises from last year are gone

Yeah, that whoosing was rather annoying. While this year's is better, nothing beats the 2008 graphics and music...
