Very, very interesting find, NYwxguy!

Thanks for sharing the video, and notifiying us about Dao Vu.

Maybe she is indeed gone.

I like the HD STAR if that's what it will look like. The LDL seems like it might be a bit large on the side, and I'm surprised that the logo is on the left.

I just did some searching on this, and on the TWC media kit Dao Vu is indeed no longer listed as a part of the Weekend View team.

On another note, it looks like the media kit was redone recently because I found a cool new video showing what appears to be the new graphics for the HD launch later this year.

Here's a link to the video

Wow, you've finally posted! And it was a good one too!  :lol:

If you will notice the B-roll in that video, its all stuff that has been used on TWC before.. They've been using HD cameras for at least 4 years now.

Edit: I'm going to try to get the rest of the b-roll used in that video.. It should be on the SAN... I could maybe do some screen shots then...

Something I realised as this is the first time I've seen the graphics (not the STAR, the CG) I've noticed that they are keeping everything within' the safe zone so when the video gets down converted and the pan scan effect is enabled, and the video changes to a 4:3 all the graphics are still included:

Red line represents a 4:3 TV's view of this video:

So in this sense, you're referring to the HD shots of nature in that clip that probably came from Epic Conditions and Weather Ventures?

Well, basically every shot in that was taken from somewhere else, such as aforementioned shows. But even the OCM shots of like Stephanie, and Paul were taken from a regular broadcast... The shots of Mike outside were all actual shots as well that were used on air at some point... I recognise a few from the Hurricane Dean promo. TWC has had HD cameras now for quite a few years, they have just been using the 4:3 shot vs the full 16:9.

The bolded part is a long thing to explain, I will explain it once I figure out a way to type it...

Also, adding on to what I meant before about searching the SAN... Who ever edited that entire promo, including the AfterEffects Star would have had alot of other footage to choose from of the creation, which I want to find! :P

Maybe this might help:

Did they have the capabilities to record 16:9 HD content, just not broadcast it?  Because they could be recording the 16:9 HD, but only sending out a 4:3 SD.

That was the just of what I was going to say... But I was also going to include that they would have recorded just camera in 16:9 not the actual edited feed, but just the OCM infront of the wall with no map behind them... That way, in editing the editor could throw in the HD graphics behind them... Make sense?
