YSTV Week: Difference between revisions

Weather had been attempted before on YSTV's news output - most memorably on location with [[Chris Ward]] during the [[Bulletin]] era, where he would turn up in a variety of locations with primitive 1970s BBC-style stick on symbols, including once in the Goodricke lift.  Other times primitive on-screen graphics were attempted, with even some basic [[chroma key]] at one point.  By the end of Bulletin however the weather was a verbal read-through of the forecast.  This changed with the arrival of YSTV's chromakey mixed.  Initially the weather was presented from a green board mounted on a set board, using [[Ed Jellard]]'s WeatherEd programme.  Images were usually stolen from the BBC's weather website.  From January 2004 a whole wall of the studio was painted green, which made the set up far easier.  Later [[Drew Perry]] wrote a programme that produced YSTV's own weather graphics, entitled WeatherDrew.
