WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Wish I had caught part of the NBC GFX for the Olympics. What I saw, I love it! Maybe when the Peacock shows the Super Bowl they can integrate those graphics in. GO USA!

Ntropolis 596 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You haven't seen the full beauty of these graphics till you've seen them in HD. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4218-nbc-olympic-graphics/#findComment-39079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blargh 2 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 They're awesome, except for the score, name, and time graphics. They don't fit in with the other graphics.

They don't fit in with the other graphics. ...It's because the IOC created those and not NBC Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4218-nbc-olympic-graphics/#findComment-39134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blargh 2 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Do all broadcasters worldwide have to use those? Seems to me that NBC could have done a better job by themselves.

DMA 135 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The IOC host broadcaster, in this case, "Beijing Olympic Broadcaster", provides the feed, with the official scores and results, so everyone has to use them to avoid scoring errors I presume.

Yeah, I noticed that when I saw the USA-Spain basketball game yesterday. That was the one thing that annoyed me about the presentation...and that was after walking out because I was happy to hear "Roundball Rock" again.

squiggyfm1 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Just noticed that NBC has tweaked their open. "Nastia 2008" replaces Mary Lou and Phelps' image and stats have been updated to show his Beijing numbers.

Jess 1115 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think all Olympics since 2000 have used some sort of IOC-created gfx package for competitions. I think it's IOC and not the host country because the 2000, 2002, and 2004 games used the same stuff, and the graphics for 06 and this year are basically variations of that. There's also a generic open and theme, but broadcasters don't have to use that. Which I think is kind of a shame because they are leagues behind the graphics that NBC has been doing. As for the updated open - NBC usually does that in the second week. I remember 04 and 06 featuring updates.

qunewsguy 377 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 One thing I miss about this year's olympics is the extended opening each evening. In the past you got a short bit of the end of "Bugler's Dream" heard at the link below with the "America's Olympic Network" ID, before launching into a montage of spectacular aerial shots of the area. This year we just get 5 seconds of "Bugler's Dream" before they launch right into the voiced bits. You'd think with thousands of hours of coverage they'd still have time for that, but I guess not. http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/media/sample.m3u/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk1_smpl?ie=UTF8&catalogItemType=track&ASIN=B0019M1XKO&CustomerID=AW3Y2JNBNZN1S&DownloadLocation=CD Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4218-nbc-olympic-graphics/#findComment-39685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
