24994J 5631 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 For those who haven't seen it, I gif'd it... 3
NewserNY 7 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 This package would really cut down on the over the top animations and flashes that the current package has (especially in the open). It'll be interesting to see the graphics that go along with these and if they change the cut!
24994J 5631 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Does anyone have a clue what that font is that's used for the names? I can't make heads nor tails of it. It's not Helvetica/Univers like they've been using, it's not Gotham like in LA, Houston, and ABC News, and it's not the network's promo font.
wabceyewitness 827 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 The video for the new short open syncs up pretty well with the "primary open" cut of the KABC 2014 Eyewitness News package found on newsmusicnow.com. Like the move to a simpler, cleaner, modern look. Not completely sold on it yet but it's definitely an improvement.
Weeters 1969 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Wait... What would be the point of whoever posting them if they only wanted them to be private? Why would they privatize them once people start looking at them? That makes literally no sense. Because it's easier to post them "publicly" and share them internally than it is to privatize them and add an extra step to viewing the thing. By the time people on here find them, they're probably not needed anymore and they get yanked offline. I hope these are early drafts, because what I'm seeing right now is NOT up to the quality you would expect from Market #1. 1

I hope these are early drafts, because what I'm seeing right now is NOT up to the quality you would expect from Market #1. Definitely agree- there isn't much polish on them, but based on the fact that the new opens were shot with the anchors in front of a white backdrop instead of in the studio leads me to believe that these are the general design they are going with.

wabceyewitness 827 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 The Vimeo account that posted them has since taken them down.
ns8401 957 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 The Vimeo account that posted them has since taken them down. What's even the point. Idiots. 5
wabceyewitness 827 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 What's even the point. Idiots. Likely there weren't the final versions and were just up there temporarily for internal use and sharing. Ether way, we'll see the new look in all its glory soon.

Ether way, we'll see the new look in all its glory soon. But again why would you need to put them up there on a public site to share them internally?
BehindNYNews 147 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 But again why would you need to put them up there on a public site to share them internally? Well... Because it's easier to post them "publicly" and share them internally than it is to privatize them and add an extra step to viewing the thing. By the time people on here find them, they're probably not needed anymore and they get yanked offline. And look at that, yanked offline.
ns8401 957 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Well... And look at that, yanked offline. Kinda lazy and half assed on their creative services part...
ns8401 957 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 when's the new look premiering? My guess would be before sweeps start but that's coming up pretty fast...
nynewslover 280 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Does anyone have any idea if they'll be 16:9 or will they still be safe zoned like channel 2? 2
24994J 5631 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Does anyone have any idea if they'll be 16:9 or will they still be safe zoned like channel 2? Whether or not those opens are final, they seemed to be 16:9. That would also fit with the shift to full-screen by KTRK and KABC.
bhratbrat 437 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Attach them in an internal email... Problem solved. What's even the point. Idiots. But again why would you need to put them up there on a public site to share them internally? Kinda lazy and half assed on their creative services part... Couple of points here: 1) The link to the open might have been posted on an internal email and not everyone has a Vimeo account. Also, their e-mail servers might actually block out or strip attachments if they have a certain ending and considering that there is probably a "size" limit within an enterprise setting, this was probably the easiest way to get it up for review. 2) Yes it is lazy for the uploader to not set the privacy. I know for youtube there is a way there is a privacy setting to where whomever gets the link to the video can see it, but it remains unsearchable to those that might not have a link. I would think Vimeo is the same way.
wabceyewitness 827 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 A quick glimpse of one of the new graphic elements popped up on air during today's 4pm weathercast.
AA55 40 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 beautiful! excited to see everything fully implemented 3
AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 New weather graphics hinted during the 6pm weathercast. A new font seen in the radar/satellite pic, new font and bar for the temps, and a new animation and font for upcoming weather. I am not a big fan of the upcoming changes. I love WABC's current graphics in every way.

[ATTACH]2809[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2811[/ATTACH] The current graphics are coming up on 5 years old, the limitations of the package are becoming evident with the graphics dept coming up with new ways to animate the existing graphics to try to meet new demands... Also there are a lot of unnecessary and outdated 3D movements in the current package that aren't in style anymore, especially for DMA 1. 3
mountainave 606 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Looks like the trend toward "flat" made its way to WABC...
