Revision as of 04:48, 3 November 2005
I don't know if it's necessary to put them on the main page, but since I work in television news, here are the technical terms for some of those events that appear:
- Toons: Homestar's name appears. It's called one of several things:
- CG (short for "Character Generator," the name of the device that makes them)
- Chyron (the name of a company that makes a very good character generator)
- Lower Third (because, if you split the screen into three horizonal strips, it appears in the lower third)
- Characters: The headline/picture combination is usually called an OTS, short for Over The Shoulder because it appears, well, over the anchor's shoulder.
- Downloads: Strong Bad's weather map is shown with a technique called chroma key (or, sometimes bluescreen or greenscreen). The origin of that phrase is too complex to describe here.
Also, the "Channel 4" logo that appears at the lower-right corner of the screen is called a bug. --oddtodd 14:15, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)
