So one thing I’ve noticed with this new studio is the backdrop above is ‘live’ - they managed to embed live footage of the studio in the monitors.
Another great feature is the camera tracking. The perspective of the backdrop will move as the camera does, giving a great deal of depth and realism.
Pretty impressive stuff.

It does look cool, but the background looks a bit more cartoon-y than the previous one I feel.

Ugly fake backdrop. Surely they could have something realistic.

Yeah it’s very ITV News. Would much prefer the skyline backdrop.

but the choice of skylines would be for a national news channel so do they use a Sydney backdrop or a Sydney backdrop?

A newsroom/non skyline graphic is wholly appropriate for a national news channel as it is overseas. A skyline would be weird.

Why would it be weird? Everyone knows they broadcast from Sydney/Parramatta. What’s the big deal?
Use a London backdrop and throw everyone off balance

Really annoy everyone. Photoshop one or two iconic buildings from every Australian capital city into one skyline.
Nine has beaten them to that one thinks
