A behind the scenes look at the new VR stage. Pretty large so I guess they don’t have to “move” the scene around to make it look bigger. Looks like it has two Artimo and a jib.

Didn’t the prior set have surfboard wings on their desk as it was circular like CBS This Morning?

Yeah these photos definitely look like they are photographed separately. .

It’s something the ABC stations have done since they broadcasted online. I assume they’re fearful about rights but other chains have no issue.

Locking due to this of this becoming a list thread.

It’s permanent.

I’ve always thought they had a cramped set/studio. Would love to see how they remake the new designs. the temp set isn’t that bad either.

They premiered Washington Week from the new studio. Appears they use one pedestal camera shots. Along with the two PTZ cameras on each “retractable” wall. The PTZ appears to be setup where one is a wide shot and another is a close shot. They appear to use transitions to change the close up shot.

I love the set, supposedly took 4 years to come to fruition - probably most of it was planning and building the extension to the building. I love how they have large curved monitor wall slightly with its own background. The a separate backdrop allows a canvas slightly with an aspect ratio larger than a 16:9 float above much like the 4:3 OTS elements. I also love the ingenuity of the two-two camera set up with a PTZ heads on the top/bottom of a cutout. It’s great that when they’re not in use they can slide back between two walls. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/394023269948456961/1249911659632394240/RPReplay_Final1718072407.mov

I think as long as it makes money CBS will be happy. Sounds like they may have a solid financial footing. The stars will likely not be commanding the same amount of money as “The Talk”. Nor the more establish soaps.

Significantly cheaper using a green screen. Less space needed, fewer stage hands. I assume the set used for Christmas is in storage the rest of the year.

Surprising giving this is a major marker.

The helicopter went down at 2002 and they didn’t receive it was missing until 2250. I don’t know who dropped the ball, surely someone would have tracked it or know how long they’d be out.

It’s underwhelming. Basically they redid the floors, replaced the desk, hid the weather center with a monitor wall, and added a monitor wall on the back wall? Am I missing anything? I understand there’s only so much you can do at times but their set IMO was fine as is. I wonder if this was an update done by the station with money the had or the O&O office had them freshen it up.

It makes sense - given NBC is unifying logos and fonts among network.
