With moving to a widescreen format, its once again necessary for the classic tv change transition to evolve.

I've got a much more modern look this time. Though, I think it looks rather plain.

Comments?

I think it looks great. I love the "SOMY" touch. xD

I do agree, though, it is kinda plain. Maybe some buttons? (power, channel +/-, volume +/-, input, etc)

[Zarxrax]

Many tvs these days have them on the side, with nothing at all on the front panel.

[XelaisPWN]

True, but some do. xP

EDIT: I know some have RCA inputs on the front, and mine has a big speaker out front.
I'm just brainstorming, here.

[Bakagami]

Personally I like the classic one. It has a nostalgic feel to it.

One more thing- the shadows on the static make it appear as though the screen is round, even on a flat screen TV. Any way to fix that?

We can't have it both ways. We really oughta pick either classic or modern flatscreen, not try to make their deformed lovechild. xP

[Bakagami]

There's should be an awesome face outline hidden in the static.

[Vazain]

Personally, Id love an HDTV with, like, a Volume knob, a Channel knob, toaster controls, a microwave oven, and EZ-bake oven ( In case you like that kind of thing), Surround sound, 3d image....Surround 3d images......

[Zarxrax]

[Vazain]

http://imgur.com/uqOM9.png

Yeah!!!
Thats what im talkin abo...

...

Wait...Where the surround 3d picture?

[Bakagami]

http://imgur.com/uqOM9.png

I like most of that but the RCA cable input I think detract from it.

[Evileel]

The first version looks better. All those buttons just make it look old-fashioned. And indeed, it looks kinda flat. So maybe it would be good idea to make screen itself a little bit deeper and outside TV corners more extruded. Also usually bottom panel is wider than top one. Maybe it would be good idea to make the bottom part larger and with more complex texture. Like in the picture below.
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9127/tennis3.jpg

Also maybe "SOMY" title should be bigger? Its hard to notice it when this TV flashes for 0.5 second in AMV Hell clip.
On the other hand this transition looks good enough already. Any new changes main just simply ruin its simple, flat and clean design.

[Vazain]

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9127/tennis3.jpg


That!...Just might work....

[Bakagami]

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9127/tennis3.jpg

I can understand those two on the side. It doesn't look like it'll be their turn anytime soon. Horrifying.

[XxFabiGBxX]

could be more realistic....

mmm i dont know, i didnt like it =/

[Zarxrax]

YO DAWG I HEARD YOU LIKE NOISE, SO I ENLARGED THE NOISE AND I PUT SOME NOISE IN YOUR NOISE SO YOU CAN HAVE NOISY NOISE

Also, increased font size from 14 to 16,
increased screen bevel from 6 pixels to 8,
and widened the slight barely noticeable gradient on the left side

http://imgur.com/G919n.png

[kapparomeo]

Hmm... While many televisions have their buttons on the side, there are still a number that conceal their controls, access ports and so on beneath a swinging button-guard panel underneath the screen, in this region:

http://images.bedbathandbeyond.com/assets/product_images/380/14101916369942P.JPG

Perhaps, where the old version on the television would twist a knob, in this new version the under-screen panel flicks down and you see some lights blink?

[Bakagami]

Still like the version with knobs better. Just no RCA ports.

[Zarxrax]

The great Knob war of 2010. Knobs or no knobs? Who will reign victorious?

[XelaisPWN]

Yeah, I agree. While sticking nobs on the flat-screen feels like a cop-out, and it really is going against what I said before about not mixing the old with a modern design, it looks nice and tastefully nostalgic.

I shouldn't have mention the RCA ports, they do look ugly. D:

Better?

[Scorchedenigma]

http://imgur.com/G919n.png

i like the way it looks like this. transitions dont need to be really detailed to begin with. somy seem like enough for a quick laugh without possibly taking any attention away from the actual clips.

[Evileel]

http://imgur.com/G919n.png
Screen bevel looks perfectly to me now.
"SOMY" font size should be 20-24 pixels according to me (but it would require to widen bottom panel for this)
And left edge looks somewhat unrealistic. But if this transition will be shown for only 0,5 s, probably nobody will notice.
Also maybe we should enlarge light diode too?
However it would be interesting to see this transition between clips in video file. Because looking at this static image maybe give us wrong impression.

[Vazain]

could be more realistic....

It could use a bit more style. Maybe you can style it in the format of the transition TV from AMV Hell 3/4, 5, or Minis. Yellow with a white border around the screen & two knobs at the bottom right/top right.

[Chewi105]

[animemental1]

MUCH better. Although maybe you should mix this with the 3rd draft with the lightened corners.

[humnut]

Liked the first one best. But I like the idea of the tv transition evolving, and am curious as to how many people would notice, aside from us who have no lives and post of threads all day. I'm not to worried about detail, seeing as we'll see it for a fraction of a second. But anyone else reminded of the computers Strong Bad has gone through by this?

[Bakagami]

Hasn't Strong Bad had like 5 computer by this point?

it looks good to me like this. i cant see anything wrong with it. maybe someone else can give better input.

[Evileel]

Lol, good choice for testing a clip :D
And everything looks good OK for me. This new transitions looks much better than the old one.
But indeed, this transition flashes very quickly. Its hard to notice details of this transition. I think it wouldnt be a mistake to make TV's panels larger, texture more prominent and SOMY sign bigger.

Damnit, it's probably skipscreen. >.>

EDIT: It's not... that's odd...

[humnut]

maybe a fraction of a second slower wouldn't hurt. It's good, but it could be better. That, or I'm just unreasonable (for lack of a better word).

[Zarxrax]

The speed is the exact same as the old one, so I don't want to make any changes there.

[XelaisPWN]

I dunno, I think it's fine.

[Zarxrax]

i think ill probably go with this one, i was never a fan of having the dials on the side ^^;

[Chillpalazzo]

Going to stay with the black color too?

[Evileel]

Its OK as for Minis.
But for AMV Hell 6 we will need something more epic and splendid. Like that cybercube transition in Transformers series :P

Got a better suggestion?
I just don't really think the fisher price look goes well with it...

[kapparomeo]

Having had a chance to see the moving transition that you posted earlier, Zarxrax, I can pronounce myself satisfied - go with it. Don't worry about the lack of knobs or other doodads - we needed those on the old television because the border was that much thicker, but it's not a problem in the sleeker version here; also, the speed at which it moves makes it unnecessary to fix on other details to stop our attention from wandering.

[Backmask]

If this new transition is based off of modern flat screen televisions, why does it still have a static transition?

[Bakagami]

Nostalgia.

[Scorchedenigma]

if the static changed it would need a new sound effect =/

[Zarxrax]

I was watching the simpsons and noticed their new hdtv design. It's really simple but looks nice. So I thought I should go back to the original design and simplify, rather than trying to make it more "realistic".

http://i.imgur.com/D2hrE.png

[Evileel]

I like realistic version more.

[darkzi]

you can add the knobs and dials back onto the HDTV one just say it's steampunked

I like this one the best.

[LawRayLiet]

Don't use the blue tv or the knobs! I agree with evileel and many others the realistic tv is the best! Why take 2 steps forward and 1 step back by putting knobs on an hd tv?

[Zarxrax]

Everyone really likes the realistic one, huh?

[humnut]

Meh, I could go either way, I still think it would be funny to have knobs on a HDTV, just for the sake of stupidity.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

Everyone really likes the realistic one, huh?

Im fine either way, the new modern touch is nice, but it could use a bit of a shiny sheen look, maybe something a little more representative of Hell? I mean flames.

[RBRat3]

Well I can pull a nice sexy TV brazel out of my ass in a few hours If needed. Also since you put out all your videos in 640x480 Its gonna be tricky to get a fat ass wide screen HDTV transition without it looking all goofy :P

[Evileel]

Too much of details on TV's design is not a good idea, coz it flashes only for a half a second. However maybe some flames would look good in the Minis opening? Something similar to AMV Hell 3 opening? Current Minis opening looks kinda cold, dark and monotonic.

I'll fill the opening with flames, just for you.

[kapparomeo]

I prefer the realistic version as well, Zarx. Whether their designs are sleek or knobbly, the transitions are recognisably televisions, which creates a sparky channel-zapping energy carrying the viewer to the next clip; I also like the logic of a new, modern television for a new era of Hells and Minis (and new aspect ratio, too!). I'm sorry to say, but the alternative that you proposed on the previous page looks flat in comparison to be better-shaded realistic design (the old television had plain colour, too, but its design was a lot buiser to compensate), and comes across more like a play with the polygon tool than anything else, I'm afraid. You've done very well with the realistic design, don't second-guess yourself!

[RBRat3]

This is what I came up with, Ill put more detail in and shove buttons with a composite jack assembly if interested.

[LawRayLiet]

If you do it right the flames would be an awesome idea. But if it's done wrong I think it could be overkill soon.(Because flames are so epic!)

It also depends on what the opening song is going to be. Is it staying the same?

[Evileel]

Maybe we should save flames and explosions for AMV Hell 6?

Ahh Didnt catch that, I did go back an read. I stayed up all night gimmie a break :P

[XelaisPWN]

Did you honestly think Zarx wouldn't have thought of that? xD

He ain't stupid :P

[RBRat3]

I know he isnt stupid, Yea im sure he thought of that I said it might look goofy but doesn't mean its impossible to pull off. One example would be to pull the TV far back to fit in the frame while a wall is exposed behind it just like my version of the HDTV. I did the TV for 640x480 in mind but the actual image is 3x that size so it can work in either 4:3 or 16:9 formats but I wouldn't use it on anything over 720 resolution.

I can remember a simpler time, when TV's looked like TV's, not like the monolith from "Space odissey". And they had curved screens, weighed something like 3 tons, emitted such abundances of cosmic rays of all sorts that one could roast marshmellows by holding them near them while watching Airwolf and get plenty of excercize daily by standing up every time one wished to change channels.

And hitting them would fix them.

Funny how you could always fix things way back in the day by hitting them. Things don't work that way these days.

Yea Its not impressive anymore these days XD If I were to do a transition id use the old old style of the CRT where the vacuum tube was suspended in a bracket like this. http://www.4consignments.com/images/old%20tv.gif

ironicaly i turned on my nintendo today before this post, so has anyone thought of a poke tv or w/e theme added to the screen?

[SarcotarascusN]

Not saying that you would need to do this now, but you could try doing something besides TV static for the next project you do. You and SSG used a different transition for Hell 2, I remember, which I haven't seen since. I suppose the clips are probably worth more time than the transitions, but this is just my thought.

[MADEVIL]

Like that new screen idea, we will be happy with whatever you go with

If you did notice how the medallion is off center a tad was because I was gonna add a chome corn on to the right of it. I dunno what the plan is here XD Ill add some composite inputs and buttons on it to see if it would make it less boring plus some more beveling. Also some medallions are LED back-lit for a power on indicator so I might try that out.

Edit: This is pretty much what it would look like if I gave it an LED back-Lit medallion.

Yes, create "Corn Technologies" logo and add it to the TV's panel.
Maybe a flaming corn would look good for such logo.

[RBRat3]

These are all the possible versions I could come up any other suggestions? It still needs some clean up, few stray pixels and accidentally left the paint noise effect on the flames version and the medallion needs to be centered again :(
Hmm evileel "Corn Technologies" would be too long, How bout Somy + Corn and you get SoCORNY?

Ohh another thing came to mind, Most HDTV's detect large amounts of noise and mute the audio and slap a no signal on the screen so the noise change channel effect might seem out of place. Since you mentioned in another thread that you wanted to get rid of the credits so I thought why not black out the frame and utilize a TV's OSD to display credits for 3 seconds when clip has transitioned kinda like this. I could start up premiere and do a test video to show you what that would look like if interested?
