I hate those Allstate Mayhem ad's. There extremely weird and annoying.

They are kinda weird, but I kinda like the one where he was driving a pink car and rear ended that lady's car in the parking lot and he was pretending to be a teenage girl with road rage. The weirdest one though was when he was a girl jogger and he said something like the guy driver was distracted by his pink headband.  Why are they so fixated on him pretending to be a girl in every situation?

Until I read that article I didn't know she played in anything outside of "Leave It To Beaver", I watched it a few times on TVLand I believe a few years ago and she and the other actors make the show really heartwarming and sweet unlike television our generation.....but it's sad to hear the news of her passing, the good thing is she did live a good long life.

I actually like it with the globe, but the first one is more realistic to the real WC opener.

First 35°< reading of the season!

Well, I'm under my first frost advisory of the season for tonight.  It's that time of year when everything starts to get chilly although a few places in the South and the West are still wondering if autumn will arrive.

It was here this morning, low 40's but I think it's suffering from a multiple personality of seasons disorder.

My Version of the HD IntelliStar - Phase 4 Warning System Test Run

Credits Go To...
Titlebar - Made by Donovan (wxgatlin) 
Warning tone - Zach
Warning Tone Narration - neospeech.com

This emulation was simulated in Adobe After Effects & Premiere Pro, this video is also available to watch in 720p HD quality. 
Side Note - I reverted back to the old "Blue" look I started this project with, but I'm keeping all the same animation/transitions as before.

I like the chroma key, but I also have gotten used to them using the video wall for so long now that the chroma key looks and feels awkward to me.

Was kinda bored after working on my essay and got inspired, I always seem to come up with ideas when I'm bored. 

SD Satellite Local Forecast Concept?
There are two versions. As always proper credit goes to Donovan (wxgatlin) for the titlebars he created.

Finally to a point where I can upload a video. Here is my local forecast for New York City. 
Local Forecast New York City

Great work, but it's cropped, some things on the side were slightly cut off like the logo, icon on the LDL, etc. Maybe you'll have to shrink the size of the graphics some, other than that it was great for your first video emulation!

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Re: Alexandra Steele Let Go

« on: October 10, 2010, 02:42:26 PM »

According to my source, there are two specific OCMs that are being "looked at" but nothing is set in stone. And before you go asking or PMing me on who, I will not tell you who they are, as it's confidential information.

I know you posted this days ago, but now that I think about it, I'm a little concerned about Nicole, although I don't watch TWC that much in the evenings now, I haven't seen her on WC in a long time. I hope my suspicions are wrong and I'm just being paranoid, but considering Alex's firing came out of the blue, I have to wonder if Nicole could receive the same treatment. 

She's been out on military duty.

Oh ok, good so I was just being paranoid.

I don't really see anything special about 10/10/10.  It's just a normal day like any other.

You're right it is, the only thing special about it is that today is the 10th month on the 10th day of the 10th year of the century or "10/10/10" like 7/7/07 it's considered lucky. WV did a whole segment on this day today relating to couples getting married today.

At the beginning of the 1PM hour of Weekend Now, Heather said "And I'm Heather Today, uh, Tesch. And I'm Heather today too. "

She must have been thinking "Your Weather Today." since she's been filling in during YWT a few times this past week.

Seeing Heather on YWT again this week has been a relapse for me, I really wish they had of kept her on there with Carl being her co-host. It's been over a year now and I still don't like seeing A&B on in the mornings.
