DMA 134 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It looks really nice and bright-reminds me of NBC's set kind of. I like it, it's much less cavernous. I assume we'll see it in action at 2:58 during the ABC News Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 So, does anyone else think the constantly moving camera shots are annoying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1749 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Some screencaps: One thing I don't like is the "big" RP OTS shot. It looks wayyyy too much like NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRAP-TV 145 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 So, is it all that AND more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanews 104 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 And where are these supposed "triangle monitors?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I think they need to pedestal down on that shot of Diane so they don't get the desk in that shot - it looks weird. And the picture in their OTS looks like it's watermarked. Did a TVNT member make it after their newscast opens were rendered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 It looks like they reused the chairs they already had in the studio.. Except it looks like Diane now has a less comfortable chair than her old one. I'm guessing her old chair was just too large for the new desk. The 2 desks on each side of the main anchor desk look like they were just picked up at Ikea or Target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCA TK47 273 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I am having a really hard time liking the network sets that have been introduced recently. They all look so "sterile" for lack of a better term... almost like a cleanroom where Intel would make computer chips or something. It doesn't seem like a true newsroom atmosphere. IMO the similarities between all of them show a lack of creativity. It's almost like you could take ABC's, NBC's & CNN's sets and put them all in one big studio and they would flow together quite well into one big supercleanroom-newsroom.

first on fox 18 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Unless this story is 14 minutes long, it looks like ABCNews.com accidentally posed the first 14 minutes of tonight's newscast (with open!) http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/chilean-miners-alive-11464754&tab=9482930§ion=1206853&playlist=11464901&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I don't think it's an error. They've been posting full episodes online for awhile, just split into individual segments with their own names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

news24-7 1 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 (PICS & VIDEO): New set coming to ABC News Here's the beginning & end of Monday's broadcast showing off the new anchor set in TV-3.

24994J 5262 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Very sleek and refreshing. If they remove that 4:3 panel on the left of the set, this could be the set that incorporates the best of the last three sets: the Jennings newsroom, the last Jennings set and the Gibson/Sawyer set.

mre29 1335 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 What 4:3 panel? Also, is it my imagination or did the background flicker at one point when she was introducing the top story? And, just out of curiosity, what's with the staffer whose much smaller desk is right next to Diane? Is there a reason he's there?

[i haven't watched the longer videos on ABC's site.] The producer or writer or whomever have been sitting, just off camera, beside the desk since the last Jennings-era newsroom set (stage right, ). On the Gibson set, their desk was actually built into the floor of the desk platform (again stage right, . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
news24-7 1 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 What 4:3 panel? You can forget about that reference. Also, is it my imagination or did the background flicker at one point when she was introducing the top story? Yes, it "took a hit" as we call it. Something happened with the rendering of that animation/loop or the actual machine (DDR) that plays that animation. And, just out of curiosity, what's with the staffer whose much smaller desk is right next to Diane? Is there a reason he's there? [i haven't watched the longer videos on ABC's site.] Those desks are for the writers of the show... they are hooked up to the TV-2 control room with headsets in case we need editorial changes or breaking news (per the senior producers) ... they are also monitoring ABC News' wire services (AP/REUTERS) using iNews and ABC Newscenter. They can print a hard copy script to give to the stage manger for Diane when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I think ABC's trademark has been to include the produces/writers into the set. However, in the 1998 set (:38) they appeared to the viewer to be much more integral, as opposed to being confused (now) as possibly being a robocam operator at a highschool computer lab desk. my favorite WNT open. My favorite hidden joke, at :09 revised scripts go into a Top Hat. [yt]VFTW0mXZjAA[/yt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 That open had my favorite WNT headlines because of the newsroom nat. sound / b-roll they used to to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
