Robinson is a journalist and columnist for newspapers including The Times and The Daily Telegraph, as well as a television host and best-selling author.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) writer/producer Jean Franz and senior editor Michael Koepenick have created a convincing argument for viewing films in letterbox format. Directors Martin Scorsese, Sydney Pollack, Michael Mann and Curtis Hanson proclaim the advantages of viewing films in widescreen versus full screen or pan and scan in the letterbox format. 
TCM writer/producer Ruth Anna Millman has also been in the house working with editor Christo Harris to create the imagery used on the set and in the intros of a new season for The Essentials. 
Turner South has turned up the volume and added new shows to their roster including Junkin', Blue Ribbon, Three Day Weekend and Home Plate. Guillotine has been cranking out spots for these as well as for Liars and Legends, The Natural South and a new Hawks image promo. Guillotine keeps the networks on the cutting edge by posting their commercials for review on their website (www.avidediting.com). 
 
Pre-Game Graphics: No Sweat for Turner Studios 
Photo: NBA Gatorade Tip-off 
 
Turner Studios didn't sweat it when asked to create a graphics package for the NBA Gatorade Tip-off, a half-hour pre-game show on TNT. Turner Sports design director Skot Linder teamed up with Turner Studios to develop an open and packaging that pays homage to sponsor Gatorade's established design language, while capitalizing on the trademark drama of TNT's game coverage. 
Turner Studios Design department played off of Gatorade's "Is it in you?" ad campaign that features athletes against a black background dripping with neon sweat. Director Ken Horstmann and art director Paul Markowski shot the basketball scene on 35mm film, with the set and talent doused with water to match Gatorade's sweaty style. Designer Angella Thompson used Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects to enhance the film footage. The concept called for a gritty, urban feel that was created with a variety of light flares and grainy textures. GCI artist Glenn Bundesmann incorporated 3D animation to achieve splashy effects such as a spinning basketball bouncing into a pool of Gatorade. One shot from the original Gatorade ad campaign was used, but it was altered by Butch Seibert in Inferno to change the color of the player's sweat to match TNT's red and yellow signature colors. The fast pace and intensity of this graphics package is the perfect warm-up for dramatic NBA coverage. To get a closer look, tune into TNT on Thursdays at 7 p.m.

TUBE: Surround Sound & Fashion? 
Though creative editorial and broadcast design may be the first things that spring to mind when you think of TUBE, fourth quarter projects at the creative post house ranged from 5.1 surround sessions to DVD authoring to CD-ROM development. 
TUBE completed a 5.1 surround mix for a six-minute trade show presentation for DVT Corporation, a leading company in SmartImage sensor technology. The video, consisting mostly of motion graphics and animation, was sound designed and mixed in two days in TUBE's ProTools 24|MIX suite and was supervised by DVT producer, Chris Connor. Connor chose to mix the show in surround not only to create a more dynamic presentation, but to utilize the center speaker channel as an in-ear prompt for the live presenter. Final mixes were converted to AC3 files and authored to DVD for use at PacExpo in Las Vegas.
