Don't let anyone tell you "how to freedom." Stand. Or kneel. Or pledge. Or don't. Or salute. Or raise a fist. Sing the Star Spangled Banner or This Land is Your Land. Whatever moves you... we were born in protest; express yourself freely.
Happy #4thofJuly 🇺🇸

Hi #TVGraphics / #CGops... as we head into Summer with sports coming back and big events left & right, I have gotten several requests for "refresher" sessions for #Chyron #LyricPRO users who want to transition to #LyricX.
I am planning on multiple 2½ hour Zoom sessions the week of July 5th. If you are interested in attending one, get in touch for scheduling & price. Cheers!
There's a ton of cleaning & set-up still to be done before tomorrow, but I'm excited to conduct my first class from AcademyL3's new location at the Harlem Collective! Stay tuned!

A bit dark & dusty (so is Marty), but it was nice to set foot in the office for the first time in a year! Plus I found my hammer and can stop blaming its theft on various innocents.

Hey WFLA News Channel 8 colleagues... for trivia's sake, on this day in 2000, we had our last 6pm at 905 Jackson (may she rest in peace), followed by our first 11pm at "The News Center."

The sound is a recording of the Heirloom "Spincraft" rotating, musical Christmas tree stand (1957)... it belonged to my grandparents and parents, and the sumbitch still works 60 years later! I grew up with this wonderful sound of decaying yuletide kitsch emanating from our 🎄
For #Pride2019, this Trekkie volunteered some time & skills making a nice 3D monitor graphic for his friends over at Gaaaysinspaaace. 🏳️🌈🖖🏼 I forgot what a pain it can be to seamlessly loop some things without features that compensate automatically... luckily, I have a few dusty synapses that are still dedicated to calculating fps, time, & key frames manually.
As we head into #Halloween weekend, J Marty Dormany's favorite season, I remind you to have a blast, be spooky, and stay safe! If you're a small business in need of free-to-moderately priced, great quality stock footage, check out www.vidsplay.com!
ACADEMYL3 celebrates a milestone in its evolution as a #TVGraphics service provider. In partnership with a phenomenal design team, led by ZACK MILLICAN and supported by talent including KRISTY WEIR and ADAM SNOW, AcademyL3 has deployed its first end-to-end creative services package. The "DIAMOND" package, conceived by Zack Millican and realized in ChyronHego LyricX for the CAMIO workflow, enjoyed a textbook launch at #WRCB-TV in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on August 6th. What a pleasure working with WRCB's creative team: Ronnie Minton and John Collins! And a ginormous 'Thank You' to ChyronHego's Joseph Turner for all his hard work during launch! Moving forward, AcademyL3 will offer original, custom creative services packages. Unlike many larger design agencies, however, we will provide not only original concepts, but those designs will be "realized" in plug-n-play, ready-to-air graphics packages for #ChyronHego #LyricPRO / #LyricX and #RossVideo #XPression. This model benefits clients in two key ways: - in a typical scenario, a client purchases a design from an agency, then must hand those designs off to an integrator for template realization & data integration. This is followed by the inevitable back-n-forth: Expectation vs. Managed Expectation. This process burns both time & money. By working with designers who are initmately familiar with, in this case, LyricX's capabilities & strengths, months of intermediary process are eliminated, and the client saves time & money; this is especially important for non-network/O&O and non-group stations, where budgets are potentially of much greater concern. The DIAMOND package also represents the genesis of what will become AcademyL3's Evergreen Market. The Evergreen Market, expanding over time, will allow budget/time-conscious customers to browse a variety of pre-created looks available to re-skin, re-color, and re-brand to local non-adjacent markets, with deployment available for multiple CG platforms. No market or job too
