alex979 119 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I highly doubt those are real. The new duratrans you can see on the updated set look like they're based on the current PIX graphics. I don't know. Looking at his channel, he also has a similar demo reel showing WGN's current graphics, so it seems like he has access to internal Tribune videos. Perhaps he works for them.

Journalist 894 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm convinced that these are prolly legit. Intro's good. L3's...what is happening there? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14274-new-set-at-wpix/page/3/#findComment-126145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 [yt]4tVCysWa6V8[/yt] The video is down due to a copyright claim by Tribune. Still convinced they're fake?

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yeah I don't think Tribune would file a copyright claim for just like a 2 minute video of highlights from one of their newscasts, so my guess would be that this is a possible graphics leak. Honestly, I'm fine with the current graphics/music, but if they changed it up, I wish they would go back to this theme, or maybe they'll get an updated version of it: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14274-new-set-at-wpix/page/3/#findComment-126178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielMaron 5 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I wonder if they will have some virtual component to their new set like the one at the link below which i don't think they ever used https://vimeo.com/94212369 I also wonder if they will use any of there packages? https://vimeo.com/102158082 https://vimeo.com/102158045 https://vimeo.com/102157947 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14274-new-set-at-wpix/page/3/#findComment-126179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has since left the company if i'm not mistaken, plus i'm not getting a vibe that they plan on re-visiting the virtual set idea (even partially) at this point. Also, Tribune has their own in-house graphics department, so there is no need for them to go outside.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 It would be interesting to see if Tribune ever got standardized graphics...like if WGN, KTLA and WPIX all had the same , or similar, graphics.

BehindNYNews 147 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have to say, I was not a fan of the graphics leaked. Hopefully they are improved upon before they are debuted. wish they would go back to this theme, or maybe they'll get an updated version of it: Completely agree. My favorite version of the theme.

DanielMaron 5 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Also, Tribune has their own in-house graphics department, so there is no need for them to go outside. I think they might hire outside groups for some packages like the examples below (WTTV/ WXIN). I do believe these are the most recent graphics debuted by Tribune stations so maybe they are taking a new route? http://www.5dotfive.com/141489/1331290/gallery/fox-rebrand-motion-design-package http://www.5dotfive.com/141489/5558293/gallery/cbs4-rebrand-motion-design-package Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14274-new-set-at-wpix/page/3/#findComment-126196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1916 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 That's the name that Tribune Creative West's (or whatever it's called) art director freelances under. So no, they are neithet an outside company or the name of their design division. Also that video was uploaded by someome who lives in Puerto Rico and videotapes the Weather Channel on their TV. Definitely not some insider, probably just a news junkie who reuploads things they find online (they wouldn't be the first).

Londoner 3 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Looks pretty good to me. Certainly better than the equivalent area on WABC's set, and great to see more evidence that they're going for a look that really reflects the city. The yellow and blue behind the screen reminds me of KTLA. Of course, it all hinges on what home base looks like, though - and if those plasmas are still there, I'm not going to be happy...!

nynewslover 277 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 How would the backgrounds work at night? I hope they don't keep the sun out at 10:00pm.

Londoner 3 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 So we've now pretty much seen everything they've done to the areas covered in Craig Allen's left-hand photo (and the bit in the foreground of his right-hand photo)... https://twitter.com/nynewsobserver/status/576914735133822976 So the big question is what's happened to the rest of the right-hand photo - which is where the anchor desk used to be and may well continue to be. Could the space in the middle (where the plasmas were) be the mounts for a 3x3 video wall? We also know there's a floor-to ceiling image of the Brooklyn Bridge in the mix somewhere, as seen on the day of the power outage. And I'm guessing the skyline image they're using in the temporary interview area will feature too, as they seem far too high-quality to be purely for the temporary set.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 The yellows and Blues remind me of this set very well. Although that wasn't my favorite set it had more of a 'news' feel than their current set does. . While we're waiting does anyone have any guesses as to when they think the set will debut? My guess is a week from Monday, but I'm hoping sooner. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14274-new-set-at-wpix/page/3/#findComment-126252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 277 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Just a quick note before the family gets here.. PIX11 tech tweeted that they're just finishing up new blocking and rehearsals and the set will debut soon.

Chopper4 36 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I don't mind the plasmas at the back, if they use frameless plasmas, and a nice live view of the city.

Londoner 3 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 From pictures on Lisa Mateo's Twitter, it seems they have opted for hardwood flooring. Isn't that just the flooring that was already in the space they're using for the temporary interview area? I think it's been there ever since they started using the temporary set.

It seems like they kept the same flooring that they had in the old set. But we'll see- maybe the anchor desk area has hardwood flooring?

nynewslover 277 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Personally I don't think they are going to have the plasmas behind them on the new set.. When they updated the set last time they didn't move them to the temp set like they did this time. If they were going to keep them I think they would have just left them in the studio and used another temp background. Why would they waste money on 4 new plasmas that are going to look exactly the same? Will there be the "window" look behind them? Probably. But I think it will be different, Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14274-new-set-at-wpix/page/3/#findComment-126367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
