Sharon's using the key wall now. The lighting is a bit odd...
Yeah, I just noticed that, along with an HD graphic with the titlebar cutoff again.

Yeah, they've also rotated the desk for this show. Methinks it's pretty hard to do a master controlled show with the setup used for normal shows; this is probably why only one person might be able to use the key wall at a time; we'll have to see how things develop.

Ew. Not feeling the DP music at all. Doesn't have the "morning" feel IMO. The graphics aren't the best, either.


Well, Rich and Sharon are now "doing that" in HD. :P
W00t!  :thrilled: We are indeed "doing that" in HD!

Man, I want to do it on-screen in HD!  :angry: :twothumbs: :P

Hmm, they cued the LDL a little bit late at the start of the :11 past segment.

The key wall that Sharon is using appears to be poorly lit compared to the old key walls in the SD studio.

Just like the Hurricane Central key wall, hopefully they'll realize the lighting problem and fix it... in a year or two... >_>

It seems that only Rich is using the projector wall and Sharon is only using the key wall. I wonder if Sharon hasn't had enough practice with the new projectors yet?

1) They're using the Weekly Planner maps they were using in 1A today.

2) Part of Sharon's hair is getting keyed out, and her pink jacket is reflecting pink into her hair.

I really like the set this way - it makes it look very professional, almost like a news set. :yes:

I'm also thinking they don't have the staff necessary to do all of the fancy camera work.

I think Alex might've used the key wall once; not sure though.

Definitely "morningy" when compared to the Evening Edition music... :P

I think that Sharon does not yet feel ready for a presentation on the HD wall.  Who knows...
