a “Near Real Time” linier tape-to-tape Auto Assembly Program for The Disney Channel's “Quaker Town” Promo Campaign. It included Chyron Triggers, Traveling Matte Transitions and ADO follow. This was a massive collaborative effort between promotional, editorial and engineering. The Disney Channel created the graphic elements. I created the editorial flow and engineering wrote the software to make it happen.

This was so successful, that The Disney Channel asked us to do the same thing for their second channel, The Disney Channel II. This time instead of using 1” tape machines as sources, we used a massive Sony robotic Beta cart machine for sources. This robot was almost as intimidating as the movie Transformers.
The loop you see to the right survived for the archives and was one of the sample pieces I used to test the system. This sample was employed to determine the correct frame-phase relationship for the traveling matte and was one of the many NTSC system issues to overcome. |
