1990: How multilayered graphics work.

- A long and (maybe boring) explanation of how to create multilayered tv graphics using the tools of the time...a video switcher, an ADO (Ampex Digital Optics) to reposition video, a Quantel Paintbox for creating bitmapped images, and an Abekas A62 composite digital disk recorder to accumulate the layers, one at a time.
The examples used are a bit more interesting...the CNN Headline News, Sports, Dollars and Sense, and Hollywood Minute opens circa 1989.
(This was part of what I can see now was an extremely long and boring talk delivered to the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers Post-Production Seminar, Orlando, Florida, January 1990)

I love the Paintbox aesthetic so much....I wish there were a way to replicate the look on modern hardware.
Two years late, but I'm working on some how-to material for getting the Paintbox style in Photoshop. The videos should start going up soon!
Great to hear. I've managed to get a little 80s sort of standard def look going but it's not quite there yet.
You can get a jcbD look in blender if you know what youre doing. my friend did one for another one of his friends and it looked like jcbD made it.
You absolutely can, the actual look came from the imaginative design skills of the artists who used it (Charlex and their imitators). As far as the technical aspect, you can add some subtle blurring to edges to avoid the perfection of current-gen digital key/mask.
Such great work and so iconic. The ADO & A62 combo is a lost art and i don't think anyone exploited it in the same way as shown here.
Very interesting. This was before my time, but I am fond of these kinds of graphics, and it's interesting to see how they are put together.
It was used live as often as in a post-production environment. Maybe live more often. You could store a series of ADO effects on 5 inch floppies and call them up on a live show.
I love this aesthetic. Thanks for posting how you worked on these!
This is so cool! Would be incredibly fun to use Paintbox on a modern computer
Great!
I taught an ADO in 94, 95 Utilizing a CMX
Sorry for the delay in responding, but the answer is B. You go back and forth and back and forth, painstakingly adding one layer at a time, like coats of paint. And one of the other drawbacks was you couldn't go back unless you saved off (onto D2 videotape) intermediate steps. Painful. But better than what came before.
Well, I don't think the term existed, but short answer: no. One movie open had so many layers I had to do a quick scribble diagram on notebook paper to keep track, but that's about it.
Love this. Thanks for sharing!
Hey JC, I just found this video of yours. I hadn't seen it before. Nice demo of how you created your classic Turner graphics. Thanks for sharing this!
Mr Burns! We haven't spoken in a while, but I've tried to do some of these effects completely within Avid. I've come to believe that it can't be done because Avid (even when equipped with BCC) doesn't offer effects editing with a 'global' parameter. So it's really difficult to make many layers track each other.
I have not, for two reasons: (1) I don't have access to Flame or Smoke and (2) I don't know the first thing about how to use them! ;)
Avid is what I have at NBC and it is not intended to be used as a graphic compositing device, I understand that.
Amazing!
This is great! Thanks for sharing.
Did you pre-vis on paper or just work your design as you went along?
did you do others on Headline News as well to if so how did you do it
ahhh dollars and sense haha i remmeber that with dan rather lol
What was the pixel size of the images?
I love the music, so wish I could get a copy. But I dont think it was transferred to digital.
I get it. But I don't know about it when I actually see the graphics. Is the camera moving or is the camera fixed and the images are giving us a show?
