This wonât work with their current green screen set up. Itâs very basic. Theyâre not using any tracking, so the background graphic will stay static while everything in front will zoom. Itâll be like one of those vertigo zooms they do on thrillers, and wouldnât look good on a 6pm news bulletin.
To see what I mean about not tracking, just compare the shot of Vanessa by herself, then the two shot with Mike. The background graphic is in the exact same position and size compared to the picture, not the plasma. In the two shot, the background image is cropped.
The only way to fix it is to go to a generic background like NBN have (but of course updated for the new styling).

They could also have the lead story on the screen as another option.

Bingo
Or pan in with a 9 News logo on the screen for the opener.
Then use the zoomed in local image, mixed with story graphics for subsequent stories.

Has anyone spotted a promo for â9 News Central Westâ which premieres Monday?
Couldnât stop for a photo, but spotted a bus stop ad for Nine News Illawarra near the Warrawong end of Northcliffe Drive yesterday. It had the starting date so might have been there for at least a week.

âFirst and Bestâ has to be one of most inaccurate slogan ever used by a news service.

If not the same, very similar. Thought it may have just had a white background though?? Canât remember, but the same messsaging nonetheless.
I agree ⌠and Nine News regional has been around for like, 5 minsâŚ
Canât see how they can claim being âthe bestâ.

For anyone interested, Samantha Heathwood can be seen here presenting the early news in 2012.
Also interesting to note that during the weather flyaround, they were using the old music from the 2006 package!

I think it adequately describes Nine News Sydney but, yes, it is inappropriate for the local news.

Well, until I saw the picture in that article, I thought the Mike Dalton that is overseeing the regional bulletins must have been the same one that reports for Nine News Sydney !! 
I donât know WHY I thought that!

Yeah, the Mike Dalton who oversees the regional bulletins (and I believe also had a similar role at Nine News Queensland for a few years) is a different Mike Dalton to the Nine News Sydney Fluff/Puff Piece Correspondent!

Ballaratâs catchment areas takes in Warrnambool (35,000), Horsham (17,000), Portland (10,000), Hamilton (10,000), Ararat (7,000), Stawell (7,000) plus everywhere in between. Iâd say itâs significantly bigger than Bendigo.
