Apologies for double-posting, but this morning I received an email notification in my Gmail inbox saying that the 'forgot password function' was applied to my account on this forum, but I've never accessed the forums at all today until just now. Perhaps someone was trying to hack into my account? 

OK, I got an e-mail with such a message this afternoon.  Very strange.  I am not aware of any such hacking activity, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to change your password just in case.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  Has anyone else gotten this e-mail?

I Got the email in September of last year. I guess I didn't know I got it since all of the TWC Today/TWCClassics emails end up in my spam folder. Very strange indeed.

I don't think her last day was yesterday, as she is on WCL with Bonnie.

TWC Fan Art / Re: luesjo12's Art

« on: February 15, 2015, 08:28:14 PM »

So, while I was experimenting with AE, I saw a video from TheFilmReel(TWCBen) of the Winter Storm Central Looping Graphics that TWC Uses, so I decided to recreate them in After Effects.

Winter Storm Central Loop Recreation

Keep in mind, this is still a WIP, and I am trying to add more to it to look more like the frost/ice texture and the lopping radar thing plus a better background. Please, give me any suggestions, as they are very much appreciated.

I took a step out of the box (From PowerPoint 2013 - I learned the Limits of PowerPoint the hard way) and decided to try out After Effects CC, and now I'm hooked!
Here's my first After Effects Project ever. Took me about 5 Hrs. to finish. It's a bit of a random idea and I got inspiration from BBC's News globes.

luesjo12 Concept - The Weather Channel International Globe Loop

I created the "Rings" that go around the globe in PowerPoint, and wrapped them around using CC Sphere. The globe was done by wrapping a transparent world map around another CC Sphere. Halfway into production, I thought the rings were too thick, so I made a second version as you will see in the video. I Love After Effects and I would love to learn more. If anyone here is willing to help me learn more about After Effects, I would gladly appreciate your help. Hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave a suggestion or a comment on anything about the project. Thanks!

Programming and Graphics / Re: New Morning Show: "AMHQ with Sam Champion"

Watching TWC, It's WCL. Wasn't AMHQ starting today? Was that canceled this weekend because of the Winter Storms?

AMHQ Is a weekday only show IIRC.

It was briefly mentioned in many of those articles about Cantore coming to AMHQ that a weekend edition would be added on January 31. It was to be hosted by Reynolds and Kait.
I did notice these photos on Twitter a couple of days ago. It appears that they were rehearsing.

Kait Parker said the weekend launch was pushed back a week due to Juno:

Wow, I didn't know that there was a weekend version.

IntelliStar 2 Discussion / Re: General IS2 Discussion

Is this a new product on the sidebar? I haven't seen it before.

I had that on my IS2. Seems like a new addition.

It was taken off the Istar SD a while back but remained on the I2jr and I2HD the whole time. The video referenced from Charleston is an I2JR

That animation was removed from the IS1 but it never was on the IS2 or IS2Jr, instead they had text only without the graphic. It seems that TWC added this to the IS2 and IS2jr very recently.

Everything Else TWC / Re: The Weather Channel updates weather.com

« on: January 25, 2015, 09:52:37 PM »

Did they remove all the forecasts videos from weather.com?
Seems I can only find them in the video section of the phone app.

It seems TWC is silently phasing them out.

A new production song played at 6:38pm CST. It sounds like a TWC production song, but it doesn't seem like a show theme. Maybe it's a production song for a new show?

The county lines were removed from the regional radar on SD Intellistars

Earlier this morning the county lines were still on my IS's radar, but not anymore.
