Weeters 1969 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I feel like Devlin wouldn't have pushed them on multipanel displays. I think the WABC set would look much better with one large monitor, not 10 or so combined into one. That seems very 1995 to me. They did it with the WZTV set. If you imagine the WZTV set using that exciting grey color the WABC set has, there's a bit of similarity...
nynewslover 280 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 They have been talking about it all morning..obviously... And they just said when Regis and Kelly renovate they will take over the Eyewitness News studio.. So I guess they are not keeping two sets.
nynewslover 280 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Phil Lipof said it will debut on the evening newscast.. (Tonight at 7) let's just all hope that none of the football games go into overtime
Geoffrey 873 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 That logo on the desk looked even huger than I thought.
DMA 135 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 The desk is absurd, but the backdrop looks nice: http://twitter.com/#!/NYNewsBlog/status/117743055058108416/photo/1/large
wabceyewitness 827 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Whoa! That ABC7 logo! Talk about go big or go home! Someone should tell them less is more! Otherwise, I'm loving the studio.
DMA 135 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 http://imgur.com/a/mmCZi#QGkkf I'll be updating this album throughout the newscast. Also, the cameras look softer.
nynewslover 280 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 i liked that stand up shot near the window..
Geoffrey 873 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 The plasma standup by the window was nice... Not only do the cameras look softer, they also seem shakier.
DMA 135 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 http://imgur.com/a/4FXzF#gXpeT I don't understand why the main desk area is assymetrical. The weather center is the best part of the whole thing.
wabceyewitness 827 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I love that at the plasma standup you can clearly see the "Peter Jennings Way" street sign.
whatsit11211 0 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 that logo on the desk looks horrible. You have two bright screens on each side and a bright desk with this huge awful dark 7logo. Someone should have lit that from the beginning.
DMA 135 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 http://imgur.com/a/qNg8a#slZE6 They just had a fantastic jib shot.
IceManNYR 240 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Overall it's a nice upgrade from the old studio. Lighting on Jeff Smith in the weather center is to dark. There is a noticeable shake on some the cameras during and after they move into position.
nynewslover 280 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 overall I really like it..it is a lot better than the old studio..I like how they keep showing the people standing outside, thats cool..I agree the circle 7 on the desk should be lit...but that is a tiny "flaw" in an overall masterpiece.. GREAT job WABC!! Its great!
tvknowledge 5 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Glad that huge 7 is in the middle of the desk or I would have forgotten who I was watching :huh: A little overpowering wouldn't you say, considering EWN, abc and 7 are on both sides of it already. Thought the weather center looked nice and airy. Don't know where the pc's are but hopefully within reach so the Lee, Jeff etc can get to it if something goes awry. The Accuweather branding is a little much though. It was the entire background in Jeff's single shot in his main weather hit. Otherwise, smart looking studio although nothing out of the ordinary; just keeping up with the Jones's in a classy way.
nynewsguy 66 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Glad that most of the comments on here are pretty much positive... I know a lot of you have been waiting a long time for this! To quickly answer the question about the "shakiness" of the cameras... They are only semi-robitic. The pedestals don't move around on their own, due to pre-existing structural supports for the building that could not be removed. As for fuzziness/lighting issues...it's most likely filtering issues.. they will be resolved... this was the first broadcast on-air.
24994J 5630 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 A little off-topic...but is anyone else having trouble getting on WABC's website? It's giving me the "URL cannot be found" message. Edit: All O&O websites are down right now...maintenance, perhaps?
IceManNYR 240 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Nynewsguy, do you know if in studio interviews will ever return to the weekend AM newscasts or be done in the 4pm newscast? Is Up Close with Diana Williams returning soon? A show called Deals has been airing at 11am Sundays for the last few weeks. I wonder if Tiempo was taped in the new studio or if it will be the last show broadcast that was taped in the old studio. I keep getting the page not found error or the website does not load.
