Current studio

Looks like some activity being done behind the grey screens


Aren't the grey screens where all the WUWA stuff used to be (and the city backdrop before that)? :unsure: Wonder what they could possibly be doing this time. :wacko:

I confirmed they are building a larger/permanent green screen. Now not sure if thats in the HD studio or somewhere else. This makes sense though since they have switched back to using the green screen a lot more. The HD studio really isn't equipped for that

If there is a graphics change, what I love would love to see from it is TWC letterboxing all their programming on the SD feed like CNN. I highly doubt it's going to happen, but hey, we can dream.

They are scheduled to to this sometime this year, but I have confirmed it won't happen with the studio changes.

More graphics changes? They just changed them like two months ago! :wacko:

Also what's going on with the old studio, are they vacating it?

Honestly, why do they need a new set in the old studio when they built this brand new HD studio only a few years ago. :wacko: Sometimes I feel they are in the old studio more than in the HD studio now...

Or better yet, why didn't they just remodel the old studio into an HD studio in the first place instead of wasting money on building a HD studio? TWC is a big place, I'm sure they could have filmed somewhere else before their HD launch until they finished remodeling it.

It would be interesting to see how letterboxing would work with the Intellistar. Unless they come up with a way to start scrolling the current information within the letterboxed screen.

It would probably essentially be the same as longform thats produced in HD, on the live shows, but with the current SD LDL instead of the HD LDL, and maybe the squeezeback being unchanged, but I dunno..

So...as suggested, they could pull a CNN and pretty much only run one LDL (the HD one) and letterbox all content produced along with the LDL? If that's the case...I like it. If they letterbox with the SD LDL like on some long-form, ehh.

Yeah, you can see the structure of the new green screen in the HD studio; it's curved at the bottom like the one in the old Weekend View studio so that they can have the floor in the shots without any negative effect.

Maybe they should also fix the lighting in the studio while they're at it. >_>
