Yeah, I'd also like to know how that works. It looks like its from the left pod because you can see the plasmas on the right hand side. But then theres the screen and the newsroom on the left hand side.

Are you trying to say that the circled side is not really there?

Yes! That is the general gist of my post!

No - it isn't there. It's been created and added in by a fancy computer and the camera is locked off to ensure everything lines up.

It certainly seems a cruel way to tell someone they are adopted.

I didn't think the left pod was large enough to accommodate seated people like that

It isn't. When we saw Gethin's "midnight tour" of TVC (Blue Peter) it showed the left hand pod entrance to N8 and there was no way that part of the studio was that big.

Admittedly it's well done, as with "Politics Today" and the way they hide the cameras behind overlays with locked camera positions. BBC Spotlight have to do the same with their 2 CSO screens (although the studio cameras are just in pre-set postions rather than ceiling cams)

Why is it the graphic designers still don't know where the data goes in or out of a satellite dish?


I'm getting very bored of hearing this comment lately. It's called creative licence. No, the red streams aren't bouncing off the inside of the dish first, but then the last time I checked, news broadcasters didn't transmit signals through the air using large visible red beams of footage screenshots.

I think we just need to accept the symbology of the overall countdown videos in terms of concepts that are being communicated - a global presence, people in the thick of it, the technology behind the news channel, and other heartwarming concepts, rather than dissecting it as a serious scientific representation of global communications.


To be honest I'm more concerned people haven't commented on the fact that News 24 for as long as I can remember insist on only having 24 hundredths of a second per second.

Shocking.
