Samantha 2878 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It's like they didn't even try. Also, please hope we can get a new look for WGN Sports...though if we don't, I guess it'll roll out with hockey season. The current look is way long in the tooth.

Jase 823 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Alright, I'm done. Set is okay, but huge step up for them. There is a lot of things they need to work on. Seems like WFLD is the only one that knows how to do the video wall well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 423 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 1. Kill that OTS with fire. 2. Don't wear jackets that make you blend in with the set. [ATTACH=full]4016[/ATTACH] Ladies and gentlemen, Harry Caray here and welcome to camoflauge day at the ole number 9..where if you blend in with the set, you get two tickets to a future Cubbies game.

24994J 5280 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Overall, I'm split on the graphics, some things I'll miss, some things I'm glad are gone. The set, though, I'm really liking. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's better than the old one, and I'm certain there will be tweaks made along the way. In recent years, 7 made adjustments, so did channel 5.

Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Wasn't this background with the CGI spinning Earths and arrows used before the 2014 graphics? Either they're using it again (temporarily or otherwise), or Skilling just likes it and they let him use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED2 144 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The new set has a similar structure to KTLA's new set: - Glass desk w/ curved video screen and round piece on screen right - Video wall with 2 giant video screens on either side Also their new graphics (lower thirds mainly) are similar to KTLA in terms of layout (NAME OF PERSON The person's title) [MEDIA=imgur]a/V4eb0[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo 340 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It looks dated, to me at least. Like something from the late 1990s/early 2000s. Surprised so many folks here like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 On the virtual tour page, they have one of the old set. If you take a look around and look close in detail, you can really see how beaten to hell it was. (riser trim peeling up or missing, all the hideous carpet spots on the interview set, etc) http://wgntv.com/2017/05/16/take-a-3d-tour-of-our-new-virtual-set/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the set layout is fine, but it's how either the set is lit or how the cameras are painted (color adjustments on the cameras) make the set look very dull.

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think the set layout is fine, but it's how either the set is lit or how the cameras are painted (color adjustments on the cameras) make the set look very dull. They've recently started using 5600k temperature lights on news sets, because it makes it easier to color balance monitors -- but doesn't give the warmth 3200k lighting gets. I don't have inside knowledge, but that's the feeling I'm getting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 [ATTACH=full]4014[/ATTACH] Kind of looks like something ol' WJW might use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 This set is much better than the one it replaces. However, I almost thought the set had an early 2000s vibe to it. Graphics-wise, it's better than the Fox pack so I guess it's OK. Looks ready for its new Sinclair overlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAnderson1 27 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The set looks a *lot* like KTLA's newest set, just with a little bit of that Chicago grunge loft feel and maybe a little larger. I see some WPIX in the area behind the anchor desk. Not much, but some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 894 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Who does their boxed 9 better? [ATTACH=full]4017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4018[/ATTACH] WGN inverted the colours, that's a big no no. Automatic disqualification. By default, the former. The serif-styled 9 looks badass too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex979 118 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Severe weather coverage on the first night with the new set. Nice use of the video wall.
