Chris Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'm now watching the 10PM ABC 13 Newscast, and it appears they have a new set. It is really nice. It's about time they redo their set/background. The weather set is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Is it just me, or does it look like they cranked up the resolution on the cameras in the studio as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Is it just me, or does it look like they cranked up the resolution on the cameras in the studio as well?It's probably new lighting. Every time a TV station gets a new set it also gets a new lighting design.The places I've worked for have always brought in lighting designers from LA that also work on movies because the right lighting makes all the difference. Also, it's very difficult to do right. Especially if in a large market where you have anchors with varying skin shades all using the same anchor desk from one show to the next. It's even harder when you have a black anchor sitting next to a white anchor, or a tall anchor next to a short anchor that the furniture can't compensate for, though technology has made the black/white thing a little easier. Each show, each anchor pair, will have its own lighting design.Lighting is a big reason why so many second- and third-tier stations look so different from the big ones. They try to cut costs and convince themselves that anyone can do lighting. They can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Here are some pictures of the new Set and Weather Center. From ABC 13 Over the past couple of weeks we've been moving into a new weather center. You'll see it when you watch 13 Eyewitness News, along with new areas for news and sports. The company that built our new set said this is one of the biggest projects they've worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Chris, I believe Ch. 13's 1983 news set with the downtown skyline enlarged close-ups is much better with the long 3 hanging out of the Circle 13 logo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
