Viper550 292 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 First KOMO, then KIRO, and now the Q it seems: [MEDIA=twitter]683487702746927104[/MEDIA] It'll also be interesting to see if we get a graphical overhaul too. They've had the same graphics for a while (a blue/green version of the KTLA package), but recently refreshed with 16:9 elements. I still don't think Tribune is going to force them onto their standard Fox package without some changes, though.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I have a hunch the new set is going to be built by either FX Group, BDI, or DDG.
Greggo 358 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 With KING/KONG moving soon, they'll likely be in the market for a new set, too. 1 market, 4 new sets in less than a year.
TheRob 938 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Testing began this week. Not much to see yet...
ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 From just this bit. I can tell it might be the makings of a pretty good looking set here.
PitCleTV 9 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 This has to be a local TV-news first, right? With KING/KONG moving soon, they'll likely be in the market for a new set, too. 1 market, 4 new sets in less than a year.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Testing began this week. Not much to see yet...[ATTACH=full]2636[/ATTACH] Def looks like BDI.
rkolsen 1686 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 The wavy ripple type pattern behind the monitor wall reminds me of the wavy portion of the KDKA temp/secondary studio set. I'm not sure if it's from TVSetDesighs.com http://forums.tvnewstalk.net/index.php?threads/kdka-getting-a-new-set.14977/page-2#post-141384

KSWB's 2008 refreshed set had them.
Eat News 4745 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 From just this bit. I can tell it might be the makings of a pretty good looking set here. I like the block glass and wood tones. Nice use of the color blue. Those round bumps on the floor and desk make sex difficult.
TheRob 938 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 More shot-blocking and light-testing this morning...
A3N 1002 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Wow. That set looks really nice. Definitely has the DDG vibe to it.
TVPromoPro 10 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 The quality of the finish materials doesn't look like a Devlin or BDI set.
jbnews 345 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 That is a good looking set. I love the big background of Seattle.
MidwestTV 1240 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 And with that, KING truly does have a lackluster studio.
jbnews 345 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I actually really like the new KING set. Sure, it might not be some huge 3 million dollar studio, but it still has a very nice look and feel to it. I like the more "natural" lighting.

You don't have to spend a lot ton of money to make a nice set. It'll be dated in only a few years.

jbnews 345 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I never said a set had to be expensive to be nice.
Emarsee 7 Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 The new set will debut on February 29. Press release confirms that BDI designed the set. http://www.tribunemedia.com/q13-fox-to-debut-redesigned-news-set-in-seattle-on-february-29/
jbnews 345 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 That set is not as awesome as I thought it would be. Maybe it will grow on me.

Press release confirms that BDI designed the set. http://www.tribunemedia.com/q13-fox-to-debut-redesigned-news-set-in-seattle-on-february-29/ Just curious what's with the black and white diamonds on the floors? I've noticed other stations have them.
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Just curious what's with the black and white diamonds on the floors? I've noticed other stations have them. Those are actually checker board type squares. They are used by robotic camera pedestals to target, which gives it an X and Y axis starting point. Each different camera shot (2-shot, close up, chroma key, etc) is saved with X and Y coordinates so the camera pedestal knows where to move when a shot is recalled. Each camera has its own target, and they all have their own shots and presets.

Each camera has its own target, and they all have their own shots and presets. Totally unrelated to KCPQ but say the main workhorse robotic camera had a failure where it wouldn't work and needed to get repaired or replaced. While the station was down the camera could they quickly and easily retarget to the broken down camera's target, shots & presets? Obviously if the problem would take time they'd hook up that camera and put it on a prdestal or tripod and use it for "light" camera work where it's not moved often. Also that panoramic photo makes it look like the center camera is cordless.
