Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

« on: June 14, 2015, 04:35:23 PM »

I'm not 100% sure if the STAR being shown on the SD channel around here is the IS2. The LDL and sidebar are synced up correctly but, the actual local forecasts opened with different greetings on the SD and HD channels. The SD version didn't have the local ad crawl and the tornado week ad glitch showed up only on the SD channel. I'm not sure if it's an IS2 Jr. (I don't think so) but it's still peculiar.

I think you may have an IS2xD Unit. I can confirm that the IS2HD and IS2xD are 2 seperate units. The IS2xD has the capability to broadcast over the SD and HD feeds simultaneously. As for the LDL and Sidebar being synced, the IS2 units have some sort of "fail-safe" in case the unit's LDL cues late. If the LDL or sidebar is cued late, the IS2, somehow, changes the LDL or sidebar to the correct product. It's the same technology in the IS2s LF "fail-safe".

Mind blown, How does this thing not overheat. I wonder if the IS2xD unit looks different to the normal IS?

The IS2xD, just like the IS2 and IS2HD look different than the IS. In the case of the IS2xD, it uses the same metal case the IS2Jr uses.

Most of the vocal songs TWC used before weren't a minute long. They might use them but I doubt they would ditch the production tracks.

The Tornado Week ad bug is still showing up this morning. Very, very odd.

I caught this Tornado Week ad a few minutes ago. This most likely is a bug. Anyone else seeing this?

TWC Fan Art / Re: luesjo12's Art

« on: June 04, 2015, 09:48:56 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.

If this is still relevant, try a tutorial on displacement maps. If you have one infront of your other comps, it makes it look look somewhat TWCs loop. I myself am trying to make up the severe storm central loop, including transitions which are super difficult. Hope I could help! 

 Thanks! I will try to implement that into my concept!

Programming and Graphics / Re: TWC Using Old Map for Radar?

« on: May 28, 2015, 12:31:58 PM »

Could be. IIRC, aren't these the maps they used in the 2008 HD relaunch?
