A
Jumbotron is a large LED display device. Most commonly they are used
at sporting events. Jumbotron has become the
generic name for all huge display devices. However, Jumbotron is a trademark
of the
Sony corporation. Macy's Herald Square has two Jumbotron screens on the
34th Street and Seventh Avenue corners in Manhattan. The day after the
September
11th attacks
my support coordinator Sid Weir and I put together this video to replace
the commercial announcements. We used a Sony Palmcorder and filmed the
flags waving
at Madison Square Garden. We then brought the DV into Apple's Final Cut
Pro lightened, slightly slowed the movement and scrolled the sympathy
and informational
message over this edited footage and exported it to a 640 x 480 Quicktime
movie for display. This is a reduction of the second version which ran
after the weekend
of the attacks. |
