TheMightyGringoChannel 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 We must've missed this with all the noise over WEWS going HD. But, Did WOIO get a new Hothaus package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 423 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 yes they did and are also using the new generation cuts of Enforcer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wfaa8fan Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 New graphics are in-house and built in HD. However WOIO isn't going HD yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevelandtvnews 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 It can't be all in-house. Unless they did a pretty good job of ripping them off, there are obvious Hothaus elements in the package. The L3's, stingers, fonts, etc. just scream it. Some quick screen caps: I won't embed this for the sake of dial-up people, but here's the 11pm open up to the first stinger: http://www.flnewscenter.com/christemp/woio-0107-11pm.wmv Sorry about the crappy audio quality.

Guest wfaa8fan Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 It is in-house. The guy who designed was going for the "Hothaus-Type" and I am sure that is a big compliment for him... And as for Hothaus styles/effects, well the guy who made the previous graphic package for WOIO now works for Hothaus. The new guy, who designed this, used the same software that Hothaus uses, therefore you get the same styles/effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevelandtvnews 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well, I guess that explains the choppy animations on some of the stingers... I deeply apologize. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susquvalleywgal 494 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Those graphics are hot. Only complaint, is the time/temp bar on the top. Just seems out of place. The cut of the enforcer is nice too. That theme can get stuck easily in my head. -- matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3471 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 It's nice to see they finally have an 11pm open...from what i've seen the past few years, it's been a cold intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj2007 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 We all know that Hothaus sets the standard and anyone copying them really wants to make their work look better from an artistic point of view. I study their work all the time. If it's in-house then kudos to them. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrambledpotatoes 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 What software do they use? We use Adobe AfterEffects 7.0 for all of the animation (with the exception of Sports, which we use Cinema 4D - and later AE for compositing) - and build about 70% of it in Photoshop prior to importing. We appreciate the kudos guys, we worked really hard on it, and actually continue to work hard updating everything. Price we pay for having the advantage of being the only station in the Cleveland market who designs their own look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneframedissolve 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 WKYC did their look in house as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrambledpotatoes 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I doubt that, considering the graphics they have for the other programs that I know they do in house; Point After, and all of their Browns stuff. I know their prior look was farmed out, but their current one could be in house, though I highly doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know their prior look was farmed out, but their current one could be in house, though I highly doubt that. No, WKYC's graphics are all done in house. This is confirmed by the director (http://www.wkyc.com/weblog/directors_cut). In addition, on Avid's forums (makers of the graphics server that WKYC uses) are questions from staff.

TSSZNews 1046 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 And to WKYC's discredit, it REALLY shows that they made it in-house. The previous design was MUCH better. Glad to be discussing this with other designers at other TV stations. =) -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
