lanman 58 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Miss the Autocam peds. Say what you want about those heavy beasts they are much superior to those newer peds that appear to be much cheaper and break easily. Their new CamBot camera pedestals are NOISY. When KD was on the temp set, you could hear them quite audibly when they were moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard any noises on the cam bots at WJZ because they do nothing fancy. They have three parked at the news desk, one at the weather center and the other at the green screen. The only movement those pedestals do are the occasional tweaks and the open of the show where they start out with a wide shot of the desk then immediately zoom in on one of the two anchors.

That set has been around so long that my sister has the same age as the set = 17 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it at 7:27 in the video. That area with the logo never appears on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVPromoPro 10 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 KDKA and Devlin have outdone themselves!! WPXI must be reeling at the poor showing after probably spending a ton of money with Clickspring, those guys are not cheap. Just goes to show you a bigger budget doesn't guarantee you success, it still comes down to a vision and the talent to execute the vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no different from other Devlin-designed sets where they have several movable parts including the desk area, though I have to wonder if those game show podiums were also built by them or if it was an in-house job by KDKA.

They've been using the same podiums for years, but they've been tweaked a bit in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susquvalleywgal 490 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I am only one that think it looks cheap? See this from WGAL Brain Busters and tell me if that looks cheap. LMAO. Yeah, so that's Brain Busters ... been on WGAL since 2000. Host is Rich Rosen ... he's a piece of work. Haha. The set is at WGAL ... Studio A. Main news studio is Studio B. They make a big production out of the season finale each year, held at Harrisburg's Whitaker Center ... That is the biggest science museum in the HLLY market. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on the guy in the middle! Nice transformation work by Devlin, the producers and directors of the show have to be thrilled over the on-air look. I've never seen a kids show look that good even on national shows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Remember how we were remarking the quality of their temporary set? I came across a page from TV Set Designs which states that the temporary set was actually designed a secondary set in their studio B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Rackley 1 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I loved the look, also Many of you seem curious about it! So, here's what made that temp set... The two desk models: http://tvsetdesigns.com/products/news-desks/monolith-news-desk/ http://tvsetdesigns.com/products/news-desks/modular-news-desk/ The walls are a minimal/LED lit version of these Straight Frames: http://tvsetdesigns.com/products/broadcast-set-frames/straight-frames/ (with a big duratran behind them) And the 'wave wall' is just MDF that went through a particular CNC process, and then was lacquered white. Our contact, Greg Loscar, was absolutely great to work with on this project. He was a huge part in the final aesthetic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 1998 every day there. Terrible, predictable mess if colors and same old music... You would think being beaten continuously by WBAL would tell them to change...
