What is the reason behind using studio B though? Presumably the only things they can rehearse are graphics etc. or will we see some cosmetic changes to the set? I'd like to see them sort out the island, its so messy atm.
No idea, although it was interesting that while Sunrise came from it's usual desk & sofa area this morning, the weather was done via CSO rather than at the newswall, there were no shots of any other part of the newsroom except for the Sunrise set.
Im not the sort of guy who knows all the techy stuff - but does anyone think that it could just be simple things like changing over the cameras etc. ??
If we assume the studio may be getting little tweaks, and that the new graphics coming in may be designed for the election, with poll results on the screen, and other little graphical tricks popping up. This will need to be tested with incoming data, and those full screen and possible newswall graphic sequences, used to show data, swing, seat graphics etc.
So if we have a week to wait for the announcement, that doesn't give a lot of time. Especially if it is decided that some things need changing or redesigning.
I could be talking out of my derrière, but as they will be broadcasting in HD, the quality of the newswall may have to be upped. In real life it's surprisingly grainy compared to how it's seen on telly in SD.
The temporary set up is quite crummy this time around. I remember the de-camp to Studio B a while back during the last studio revamp was lit superbly and worked pretty well on air. This time the prints of the background are poor and there is a lot of fuzz on some shots.
Are we to expect HD to launch next week with the final few tech updates taking place in the newsroom now?
During the revamp, I think they were in studio B for a month or more. This time its pretty much just a week, with the new look logo, and election graphics going live and HD on April 6th...
