Members Ann_SS Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 Whose fan fiction about a new opening is quoted above? No way GH does a new opening until all the financial cuts and casting turmoil is settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 Their opening would be seizure-inducing in HD, as if it already isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted April 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 $3 Mil is a significant investment in this era. GH is not going away in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 this mass panic and hysteria that all soaps are getting the axe in the next two years needs to stop. aside from ATWT i dont see any soap going anywhere sooner rather than later. you are correct, GH isnt going anywhere anytime soon.

Members MarkH Posted April 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 If they "save" GL (which suddenly I'm getting an iota of faith in), I agree. Because that means the model has changed, and suddenly the HH ratings and the 18-49 Demo on broadcast networks is irrelevant...because these shows are positioning for a viable post-network life. I have to say, my heart DREAMS that GL--specifically GL--can be the one to make the transition from network/commercial TV, since it led the charge off radio so long ago. That would be a cinderella story we could all cheer. This morning has put a much-needed smile on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 I agree. However really, im not pinning my hopes on GL. A show that honestly should have gotten the axe years ago. If this was a soap ranked in the top 4 or 5, i would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 MORE subtle makeup? Really? Most of the GH women look like they're barely wearing any as it is. If the new hospital set is just a recycled version of the Nightshift set then a) I'm not going to be impressed and I take it that means there's no hope for more Nightshift. Still, I guess there's not long to wait until this new stuff plays out on screen. Still, I would guess that this would guarantee a new opening sequence if the show is now going to be shot in 16:9 and the opening is in 4:3...

Members MarkH Posted April 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 Y&R does something interesting...it shoots the opening in 16:9, but then shrinks it down (so names aren't cut off) so it appears in widescreen-letterboxed format on a 4:3 TV. It does this shrinking EVEN on the widescreen HD broadcast. They implemented this a little while ago, after people started complaining (on 4:3 TVs) that they could no longer see the "sides" of the credits.

Members bellcurve Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 So wait....they shrink down the credits now for HD broadcasts too? I thought it was just a YouTube/CBS thing. How LAME! People need to get their damn converter boxes and shut up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 To give you an example, Y&R did not have to switch out lighting at all- GH having to redo their lighting is a very, very, very good thing. I was so looking forward to this show looking even more like a trainwreck to match the stories. lol I have a feeling GH is gonna at least look good.

Members CSF Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well you when it comes to upgrading the production values, that gets JFP soaking wet every time. She must be in her glory right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 JFP! She's soaking in it!!! ROTLMAO I am clueless as to why GH has looked like a garbage dump under her leadership.. She makes her shows look lush generally. I don't know what happened here. They don't even light the actors, they seem to have big fog lamps up and just light everything in one big flat murky mess of lighting. I cannot wait to see GH on the 23rd. I won't be able to call it the ugliest soap on daytime anymore. A complete lighting overhaul will change the entire feeling of the show, not to mention the HD! And I have said it before, GH does not appear to use makeup on anyone- male or female. It is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
